What Makes Waycross, Georgia Different
Waycross sits on the flat, sandy land at the edge of the Okefenokee Swamp in southeast Georgia. The ground is low and the water table is high, so heavy rain can stand in yards and under homes for days. Humidity here is high most of the year, and wet drywall, carpet pad and crawlspace wood can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours. Keep indoor humidity below about 50 percent and run the air conditioning or a dehumidifier after any leak.
Hurricanes and tropical storms that come ashore on the Gulf or Atlantic coast often cross southeast Georgia as heavy rain and wind. Trees fall on roofs and power lines, and long outages stop air conditioning just when the house most needs drying. Tarp any opening once it is safe and start moving air the same day. Never run a generator in a garage or near a window, because carbon monoxide kills quietly.
The swamp and the pine forests around it can burn in dry years, and fires in the Okefenokee in 2007 filled Waycross with smoke for weeks. Smoke can leave soot and odor in carpet, walls and air ducts. Change air filters often during a smoky stretch and have the ducts cleaned if the smell stays.

Checking a License in Waycross
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.
