What kind of homes and basements does Savannah have?

What causes basement and foundation problems in Savannah?
Tidal and storm flooding
Low areas flood in heavy rain and storm surge; drainage and flood-resistant materials matter.
Crawl space humidity
Humid air and shallow groundwater keep crawl spaces wet, causing mold and rot.
Historic garden-level floors
Ground-level rooms in historic homes take moisture through old brick and need breathable repairs.
Termite and rot risk
Damp wood in crawl spaces invites termites and decay.
Hurricane-season preparation
Late summer and fall bring tropical systems. Clearing gutters and drains, securing crawl space vents and checking sump pumps before the season reduces water damage under homes.

What do Savannah homeowners ask most?
Can historic Savannah homes be waterproofed?
Yes, but historic district rules may limit exterior changes, and old brick needs breathable, lime-compatible materials.
What license does a Georgia contractor need?
Residential or general contractor licensing from the state board for jobs above its threshold.
How do I protect my Savannah home from flooding?
Grading, drains, flood vents in raised foundations, elevated utilities and flood insurance are common protections.
