Common Causes of Water Damage in Atlanta

The weather is a common cause of water damage in Atlanta. Heavy rain is common in the spring and summer, which can result in home and basement flooding. While rarely impacting the city directly, hurricanes spinning up from the gulf can cause flooding and severe damage. Atlanta has hot, humid summers, which can promote mold growth in water-damaged locations. Winters are generally mild but can cause water damage if pipes freeze and burst. 

In addition, you may require water damage cleanup in Atlanta due to other types of water damage causes:

  • Dishwashers and other appliances may leak as they age.
  • Washing machine hoses burst.
  • Plumbing system failures can result in sudden flooding from burst pipes or slow, long-term leaks.
  • Clogged drains can back up, causing water damage.
  • Sump pumps fail or stop working during power outages.
  • Roots and debris can clog main sewer lines, causing sewage backups. 
  • Cracks in the basement and crawl space foundation can allow moisture to seep inside, causing rot and mold growth.

Roto-Rooter provides the services needed to resolve water damage in Atlanta quickly, efficiently, and professionally.
