Hurricane winds and falling trees
Helene's 2024 winds brought down thousands of trees, damaging roofs and leaving homes open to rain.
Ice storms
The February 2014 ice storm knocked out power across the region and froze pipes.
Humidity and crawlspace mold
Hot, humid summers keep crawlspaces damp, causing mold and rot.
Savannah River levee
Augusta's levee protects downtown, but low areas can still flood during heavy rain.
Summer storms
Frequent afternoon thunderstorms in summer bring heavy rain and wind that test roofs and gutters.
Older crawlspace homes
Older homes in Summerville and Harrisburg sit on crawlspaces with aging plumbing, and humid summers make these spaces prone to mold and wood rot.
