Katrina's surge flooded most of the city. Downpours flood low streets. Heavy rain raises the Pascagoula River, flooding low areas.
Many homes were rebuilt after Katrina. Many Pascagoula homes were rebuilt or raised after Katrina, with plumbing and ducts running underneath, where pipes are exposed to wind, cold snaps and leaks. Older homes farther from the water are slab houses with aging plumbing and attic AC that runs most of the year. Gulf humidity grows mold within days on wet materials, and many homes near the shipyard are rentals. Many homes have attic AC and water heaters that overflow into ceilings when pans or drain lines clog, and long power outages after storms shut off AC, letting humidity and mold build up in closed homes.

Flood damage cleanup questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in Pascagoula?
Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of Pascagoula Building department.
Do I need flood insurance in Pascagoula?
Homeowners policies exclude flood. Recent storms flooded many homes outside high-risk zones, so a separate flood policy is worth considering.
Is flood damage covered by homeowners insurance?
Usually not. Rising water from outside is typically covered only by a flood policy (NFIP or private). Water from a burst pipe is a different claim under your homeowners policy.
Can drywall that got flood water be dried?
Generally no. Floodwater is contaminated, so the IICRC S500 standard calls for removing porous materials it soaked, including drywall and insulation, above the waterline.
