Water Damage in Macon: FAQ

How can I tell if water is collecting in my crawlspace?+

Look for standing water through vents, damp insulation hanging down, or musty odors inside. A provider can inspect safely.

Does crawlspace water cause mold?+

It can. Middle Georgia humidity plus standing water under the house creates good conditions for mold and wood rot.
