How Poor Drainage Leads to Basement Flooding
From Champion – Family Owned & Serving Metro Atlanta Since 1970
Spring in Georgia means blooming flowers, warmer temps—and plenty of rain. But while you're enjoying the season, your gutters could be silently setting you up for a soggy disaster.
Clogged gutters are one of the top causes of spring water damage, especially in basements and crawlspaces. And the worst part? Most of the time, it’s completely preventable.
When gutters and downspouts get blocked with leaves, twigs, pollen, or roof debris, water has nowhere to go. Instead of flowing safely away from your home, it:
Even just one heavy Georgia thunderstorm can overwhelm a clogged system and cause water to back up into your home.
Champion recommends inspecting your gutters at the start of every season, especially spring and fall. Here’s how to keep things flowing:
If you notice water stains, musty smells, or damp walls in your basement—you may already have water damage.
If water has made its way in, don’t wait—Champion is here to help. We’ve been handling water damage restoration across Metro Atlanta since 1970, and we know how to:
Don’t let a minor maintenance issue turn into major water damage. A few minutes with a ladder now can save you thousands later—but if flooding does happen, Champion’s ready 24/7 to help you bounce back quickly and safely.

Dryer Lint Fires + How to Prevent Them
Brought to you by Champion – Family Owned & Serving Metro Atlanta Since 1970
When we think about fire hazards, most of us picture kitchens, fireplaces, or candles—but one of the most common causes of house fires is hiding in a place you use all the time: your laundry room.
Every year, thousands of house fires start because of lint buildup in dryers. According to the U.S. Fire Administration, clothes dryers cause nearly 3,000 fires annually, and the leading cause? Failure to clean them.
Lint might look harmless, but it's highly flammable. When it builds up in your dryer vent or exhaust system, it creates the perfect environment for a fire—especially during Georgia’s hot, humid summer months when your dryer is already working harder.
A spark or overheating element ignites lint in the vent or drum... and from there, fire can move quickly:
Within minutes, what started as a small dryer issue can engulf an entire room in flames.
At Champion, we know how overwhelming even a small house fire can be. That’s why our fire restoration team is trained, certified, and available 24/7 to help Metro Atlanta families recover:
A quick cleanup could prevent a disaster—but if fire strikes, Champion is just a call away. We've been serving the Atlanta area for over 50 years with fast, compassionate fire damage restoration you can trust.
