Local risks: Pine Lake and DeKalb County

Property owners in Pine Lake 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.

In Pine Lake, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Clogged air-conditioning condensate lines and overflowing drain pans that soak ceilings and closets
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Persistent humidity that slows natural drying and lets damp materials turn into mold problems
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Indoor humidity that stays above 60 percent for much of the year
• Moisture left behind after fire-suppression water

Before the crew arrives

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

• Do not run the HVAC system if ducts or the air handler got wet, and do not use household fans on sewage or flood water
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• 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
• 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
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed

When and where damage happens in Pine Lake

Regardless of the age of a building, water finds the same weak points: supply connections, roof penetrations, window flashing and anywhere two materials meet.

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.
