When conducting a reserve study for a property in Georgia, it’s essential to consider the region’s humid subtropical climate, marked by long, hot summers, frequent thunderstorms, and occasional severe weather. High humidity can accelerate deterioration of roofing materials, promote mold growth, and stress HVAC systems. Heavy rainfall and poor drainage can also impact foundations and exterior elements, especially in older or low-lying properties. These conditions affect how building components age, how often they require maintenance, and what funding is needed over time—making accurate, climate-aware planning critical.
Humidity-Driven Deterioration – Persistent high humidity can lead to mold growth, wood rot, and faster degradation of paint, sealants, and building materials.
Roofing Challenges – Intense sun exposure and sudden summer storms can cause premature wear, membrane failure, or storm-related damage to roofing systems.
HVAC System Strain – Long cooling seasons and high moisture levels increase demand on HVAC systems, making regular maintenance and energy efficiency upgrades essential.
Drainage and Water Management – Heavy rainfall and clay soils can lead to pooling water, soil movement, and foundation issues if drainage systems are not well designed and maintained.
Pest and Termite Risk – Warm, humid conditions support insect activity year-round, increasing the need for routine inspections and preventative treatments.
Building Code Compliance – Local jurisdictions across Georgia regularly update codes related to energy efficiency, storm resilience, and accessibility, requiring ongoing attention to maintain compliance.
Our engineers are well-versed in the unique challenges and requirements of reserve studies in Georgia, including the effects of high humidity, intense summer heat, and heavy rainfall that impact roofing, HVAC systems, and building exteriors.
