Local risks: Powder Springs and Cobb County

Property owners in Powder Springs 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 Powder Springs, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Toilet and tub overflows
• Wind-driven rain, roof damage and storm surge from hurricanes and tropical storms
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Persistent humidity that slows natural drying and lets damp materials turn into mold problems
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Electrical fires when power is restored to water-damaged wiring after a storm
• Window, door and siding leaks after heavy rain
• Storm damage that let rain into attics and walls

What to do right now

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

• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• 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
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage

When and where damage happens in Powder Springs

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.
