Water damage & mold help in Savannah, GA
Savannah's low elevation and coastal location make tidal flooding, storm surge and heavy rain its main water risks. Hurricane Matthew in 2016 and Hurricane Irma in 2017 both brought surge and flooding to the area. Year-round humidity means mold follows quickly after any leak.

Savannah homes and water damage
The Historic District and Victorian District have 18th- and 19th-century homes, many with raised ground floors, plaster walls and original wood. Midtown and the Southside have mid-century and newer homes on slab or crawlspace. Older homes often have original plumbing and roofs, and some have been divided into apartments.
Storm surge and tidal flooding
Low-lying areas flood during high tides and tropical storms, as during Matthew (2016) and Irma (2017).
Heavy rain
Intense rain overwhelms drainage in flat, low neighborhoods.
Humidity and mold
Mold grows quickly in Savannah's heat and humidity.
Historic home moisture
Old masonry and plaster in historic homes hold moisture and need careful drying.
AC condensate leaks
Long, hot summers keep AC systems running for months, and clogged condensate lines and pans overflow into ceilings and closets.
Termite and moisture damage
Warm, humid conditions in coastal Georgia make wood rot and termite damage common, and both get worse when leaks keep framing wet.
