What Makes Albany, Georgia Different
Albany sits on the Flint River in southwest Georgia, on flat, sandy ground with a high water table. The Flint has flooded the city more than once. Tropical Storm Alberto in 1994 brought a record flood that forced thousands of people from their homes, and the river flooded again in 1998. Homes on low ground near the river and its creeks still take water first.
Storms hit this area hard. A tornado tore through Albany in January 2017, and Hurricane Michael crossed southwest Georgia in October 2018 with winds that brought down trees and roofs across the city. After wind damage, tarp any opening once it is safe and photograph everything before cleanup. Keep generators outside and away from windows.
The heat and humidity last most of the year. Wet drywall, insulation and carpet can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours, and damp crawlspaces are common in older homes. Air conditioners run for months, so check the condensate drain and the drain pan before a slow drip soaks a ceiling or floor.

Checking a License in Albany
Georgia licenses residential and general contractors through the State Licensing Board for Residential and General Contractors. Ask for the license number and look it up with the Georgia Secretary of State before you sign. Georgia has no separate mold license, so ask whether the technicians hold industry certification in water damage and mold remediation, and ask for proof of liability and workers compensation insurance.
