    Red clay holds water against foundations. After heavy rain it finds the low point of the house.

    Wind-driven rain around windows, doors and roof edges soaks the wall from the inside out.

    Inside the wall

    The damage you can see is the smallest part

    Water moves down and sideways. It wicks up drywall, soaks insulation and sits under flooring. The longer it stays, the bigger the repair.

    Why Atlanta homes get wet

    Local ground, local houses, local weather

    Water damage here has a few patterns. Knowing them helps you describe what you see when you call.

    Wet red Georgia clay along a brick foundation after a heavy rain, puddle at the downspout

    Red clay soil

    Clay drains slowly and holds water against the foundation after a storm.

    Crawl spaces

    Many homes sit over a crawl space, where leaks and humidity go unseen for weeks.

    Older homes

    In-town neighborhoods have older supply lines and drains that can fail without warning.

    January freezes

    A hard freeze catches pipes in exterior walls and crawl spaces off guard.

    Questions

    Turin water damage questions

    Can I dry it out myself with fans?

    Fans dry the surface. The water under flooring and inside walls is what causes the long-term damage, and you can't see or measure it without the right tools.

    Will my homeowners insurance cover it?

    It depends on your policy and the cause. Sudden events like a burst pipe are often treated differently from slow leaks. Call your insurer, and take photos before anything is moved.

    What happens when I call?

    Your call goes to an independent local business that handles water damage in the Atlanta area. You may answer a quick question or two first so it reaches the right one. Service Pro Nation doesn't perform the work.

    What should I ask the pro?

    Ask about the license and insurance the work requires, how they'll confirm everything is dry, and how they price the job.
