Columbus homes and water damage
Midtown and the Historic District have early-1900s homes on crawlspaces with aging plumbing. North Columbus has newer slab and crawlspace homes, and many rentals serve military families. Many older Midtown homes have original hardwood floors and plaster walls that can often be dried in place if crews start quickly.
Severe storms and tornadoes
Spring storms bring high winds, falling trees and occasional tornadoes that damage roofs.
Flash flooding
Heavy rain floods creeks and low streets that drain to the Chattahoochee.
Crawlspace moisture
Humid summers keep crawlspaces damp, causing mold and rot.
AC condensate leaks
Long summers keep air conditioning running, and clogged lines overflow into ceilings.
Rental turnover
Military moves mean frequent tenant changes, and slow leaks can go unreported.
Chattahoochee flooding
Heavy rain upstream raises the Chattahoochee River, and in 2009 flooding damaged homes in low areas of the city.
Freeze bursts
Cold snaps are rare but sudden, and pipes in crawlspaces and exterior walls freeze in homes never built for hard freezes.
