Local risks: Funston and Colquitt County

Property owners in Funston deal with the same regional risks found throughout Georgia. Georgia's humid subtropical climate, heavy rain events and occasional tropical systems moving inland keep crawlspaces and basements damp, and the state's spring severe-weather season produces wind and hail damage. Clay soils that swell and shrink also stress foundations and buried plumbing. Problems tend to peak during spring storm season and late summer, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Persistent humidity that slows natural drying and lets damp materials turn into mold problems
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Wind-driven rain, roof damage and storm surge from hurricanes and tropical storms
• Standing water and wet insulation in crawlspaces
• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• Electrical shorts in humid attics and crawlspaces
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Damp crawlspaces with mold on floor joists and subfloor
• Window, door and siding leaks after heavy rain

Before the crew arrives

The first hour determines how much can be saved. While a crew is on the way:

• Shut off the main water valve if the source is a plumbing failure, and turn off power to the affected area if water is near outlets or appliances
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage

When and where damage happens in Funston

Whatever the construction type in Funston, the pattern is the same: the visible damage is usually a fraction of what the moisture meter finds.

Hurricane season brings the largest losses, but year-round humidity and heavy summer rain keep crews busy every month. Late summer and fall bring wildfire smoke and structure fire risk, while kitchen fires remain the leading cause year-round. Humid summers mean mold can establish itself in days, and air-conditioned interiors create condensation on cold surfaces that keeps feeding it.
