Georgia Water Damage Risk Profile
Primary threats: Red clay soil drainage issues, heavy thunderstorm flooding, aging plumbing in older homes.
Georgia's well-known red clay soil has very low permeability, so heavy rain often can't soak in and instead runs toward foundations, basements, and crawl spaces instead of draining away. Metro Atlanta and its suburbs average around 50 inches of rain a year, much of it during intense spring and summer thunderstorms that can overwhelm drainage in low-lying areas near creeks. Many homes built from the 1970s through the 1990s also have aging plumbing, adding pipe failure to the list of local water damage causes.
