Alabama has some of the most frequent tornadoes in the country. Roof and window damage lets rain into attics and walls.
In Mobile: Mobile averages well over 60 inches of rain a year, so drainage backups and roof leaks are frequent. In Huntsville: Rapid growth means many homes with PEX fittings, attic water heaters and washing machine boxes that commonly leak. In Tuscaloosa: High winds and falling trees damage roofs and let rain in.
Many homes are on crawlspaces, with brick ranch houses common from the 1960s–80s and newer slab homes in growing suburbs around Huntsville, Birmingham and Baldwin County.
