Common causes of water damage in Decatur homes
Decatur is a walkable old city of 1920s-through-1940s bungalows and craftsman homes, and that housing stock shapes the losses we're called to in DeKalb County:
- Original plumbing that has reached the end of its life. Many homes near the Decatur Square and in the MAK Historic District still run their first-generation supply lines and shutoffs, where a single failed joint can soak a floor before anyone hears it.
- Tight crawlspaces and low basements that trap water. The small crawlspaces under these older homes hold runoff and groundwater after a downpour, wicking moisture up into joists and subfloor.
- Summer storms off the Piedmont. Heavy Georgia rain overwhelms gutters and old flashing, sending water into attics, ceilings, and finished lower levels around Oakhurst and Winnona Park.
- Hard winter freezes on exposed lines. An uninsulated pipe in a craftsman porch, garage, or exterior wall can split during a cold snap and let go the moment it thaws.
- Aging water heaters and appliance hoses. A failed heater tank, washer hose, or icemaker line can release hundreds of gallons across original hardwood in an afternoon.
