Common Causes of Flooding in Atlanta
Rainfall is the leading cause of flooding in Atlanta, Georgia. The local climate produces sudden thunderstorms capable of inundating the city with water. As Atlanta is an urban environment with paved streets, the water has nowhere to go except into the city’s storm drains. If storm drains and sewer systems are overwhelmed by water, nearby buildings may flood.
In addition to rain, Atlanta residences and commercial facilities may flood due to plumbing failures. Burst or leaking pipes and sewer backups can cause localized flooding that requires immediate attention to prevent property damage and minimize health risks.

Tips for Flood Preparedness
While nothing can completely prevent a water emergency, you can take steps to reduce the damage caused by a flood. The following are some simple flood preparedness tips.
Know Your Flood Risk
Check the FEMA Flood Map Service Center to determine if your home or business lies in an area that is vulnerable to flooding.
Take out Flood Insurance
Many people fail to realize that basic home or business insurance does not include flood insurance. Contact your insurance agent to check if you have flood coverage and, if not, how much coverage you need.
Sign up for Warning Systems
Sign up for local weather and flood warning alerts, as well as the Emergency Alert System and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Weather Radio Alerts.
Practice Preventative Maintenance
Regular gutter and drain cleaning and regular plumbing maintenance helps prevent backups and floods from drains, sump pumps, gutters, and water heaters. Roto-Rooter offers inspections and repairs to keep your plumbing running smoothly. You can also do some simple plumbing tasks yourself. For instance, you can learn quick fixes for leaking pipes.
Take Inventory of Property and Valuables
An inventory of significant items and valuables is of great help when making an insurance claim in the aftermath of any disaster, including floods. Take photos or videos of your possessions and upload them to the cloud. You can use these documents to prove ownership to insurance companies.
Store Important Documents in a Safe, Dry Place
Safely store important documents such as birth certificates, medical records, wills, insurance papers, and passports in a watertight container. Waterproof safety deposit boxes are ideal.
Above all, be safe. Never expose yourself to sewage water or wade through floodwater, especially if you think the flood has impacted your electrical supply. Move to higher ground and call the professionals.
