Homes in Atlanta and how they leak
Intown neighborhoods have bungalows and four-squares from 1900 to 1940 on crawl spaces or partial basements. The metro's huge suburbs were built from the 1970s on, many on sloping lots with finished basements, and many 1980s homes have polybutylene pipe.

Questions from Atlanta homeowners
Why does my finished basement leak after heavy rain?
On sloping lots, water runs toward the uphill wall. Drainage, grading and waterproofing address the cause; drying addresses the damage.
How do I spot polybutylene pipe?
Look for gray flexible plastic pipe near the water heater or under sinks, often stamped PB2110.
A tree fell on my roof in a storm. Is the water damage covered?
Typically, yes. Damage from a fallen tree and the rain that enters through the opening fall under homeowners insurance. Get the roof tarped quickly and keep your photos.
