Lilburn, GA homes and water

Lilburn, served with the Decatur area, carries more flood exposure than the rest of Gwinnett County. FEMA's National Risk Index puts its yearly inland flood loss at 89 per $100,000 of building value, against 73 countywide. The city averages 18 days a year with an inch of rain or more. Low yards and drainage swales send storm water toward basements and crawlspaces.

Its homes are older than the county's, with 28% built before 1980, against 14%, so older copper lines, water heaters and crawlspace plumbing are common failure points. With 39% of homes rented and 16% in buildings of 5 or more units, many leaks involve a landlord.

NOAA's climate normals show 49 nights a year at or below 32 degrees and 2 days that stay below freezing, enough to split a pipe in an exterior wall. Water mitigation in a crawlspace home starts under the floor, where wet insulation and joists hold moisture long after the room above looks dry. Only 0.4% of Gwinnett County homes carry federal flood insurance.

What to do first in Lilburn

Lilburn's homes are older than Gwinnett County's, with 28% built before 1980 against 14%, and in those houses the main shutoff is often in the crawlspace or basement. Close it, or close the valve under the leaking fixture. Turn off breakers for wet rooms at the panel. Photograph what is wet and where it came from. Get electronics, rugs and boxes off the floor, and open cabinet doors. On one of the city's 49 freezing nights, a split pipe may be the cause, and burst pipe cleanup starts with that closed valve. If you rent, as 39% of households do, send the photos to the landlord. You can reach the line 24/7 from anywhere in the Decatur area.

Do you take water damage calls in Lilburn?

Yes. Lilburn is part of the Decatur area that 911 Water Damage Fix covers, 12 miles from Decatur. Call (833) 728-2327 day or night for extraction, drying or a sewage backup; the crew inspects and writes the estimate first.

How soon can a crew get to Lilburn?

Ask on the call: the company that serves Lilburn gives you its arrival time before you hang up. In the meantime, stop the source, lift furniture off wet floors and keep people out of rooms with standing water.

Will my insurance pay for water damage in Georgia?

It depends on the cause. A burst pipe or appliance failure is usually covered under a standard Georgia homeowners policy; floodwater needs a flood policy and sewer backup needs an endorsement (Triple-I). The restoration company documents the damage; you handle the claim with your insurer.

Are older homes in Lilburn more likely to have water damage?

The age of a home changes both the cause and the job. Older homes in Gwinnett County are more likely to have worn supply lines or drains, and their materials, such as plaster and plank subfloors, can take longer to dry.
