What Affects Crawl Space Costs in Georgia?
Georgia's red clay soils are among the most problematic in the Southeast for crawl space moisture. The clay expands when wet and contracts when dry, creating cracks in foundations and allowing water intrusion. Atlanta's rapid urban development has increased demand for crawl space services, though labor costs remain below the national average. Savannah and the coastal areas face additional challenges from high humidity and occasional flooding. Georgia's long growing season means vegetation and root systems can also compromise crawl space drainage.
