Day 1: Why Spring Storms Are a Real Threat in Georgia

Spring in Georgia means blooming flowers, warmer weather—and unfortunately, heavy rain, thunderstorms, and flash flooding. At Champion, we’ve seen firsthand how quickly a beautiful spring afternoon can turn into a costly water damage emergency.

⚠️ Georgia’s Spring Weather Risks:

• Sudden downpours that overwhelm gutters and storm drains
• Saturated soil that causes water to seep into basements and crawlspaces
• High winds that can tear off shingles or damage siding
• Flash flooding, especially in low-lying neighborhoods

🏠 Why It Matters:

Flooding can cause:

• Damage to flooring, drywall, and personal belongings
• Mold growth within 24-48 hours
• Electrical hazards and structural issues

Champion’s Tip: Most flood-related damage is preventable with the right preparation. That’s why we’re kicking off this four-day guide to help protect your home this storm season.
