What causes water damage in Alabama
Gulf hurricanes
Mobile and Baldwin counties take surge and wind; Hurricane Sally in 2020 flooded the coast with record rain.
Tornadoes and severe storms
Roof damage from wind and hail lets rain into attics across central and northern Alabama.
Humidity and crawl spaces
Long, humid summers keep vented crawl spaces damp and speed mold growth after leaks.
Homes and how they are built
Homes are mostly on crawl spaces or slabs, with basements on hillsides around Birmingham and Huntsville. Older houses in Birmingham and Mobile have aging galvanized and cast iron plumbing.
When it happens
Tornado season peaks March through May with a second peak in November. Hurricane season runs June through November.
Rules and insurance in Alabama
Home builders and remodelers are licensed by the Alabama Home Builders Licensure Board. Coastal policies often carry a hurricane or named-storm deductible.
In every state, homeowners insurance excludes rising floodwater, which needs a separate flood policy. See what homeowners insurance covers.

Questions from Alabama homeowners
How quickly should a roof be tarped after a storm?
As soon as it is safe. Your policy expects you to prevent further damage, and every rain after the storm adds wet insulation and ceilings.
Does insurance cover hurricane flooding on the Alabama coast?
Wind damage is covered under homeowners insurance, usually with a hurricane deductible. Surge and rising water need a flood policy.
Why does mold appear so fast here?
Warm temperatures and high humidity give mold what it needs. Wet drywall and insulation can show growth within two to three days.
