Jersey is a very small incorporated town in Walton County, on Georgia 11 southeast of Loganville, and its ZIP code is 30018. The town's population is in the low hundreds, and it sits in farmland and pine near the Alcovy River bottoms.
The houses here are older farmhouses on block or brick piers, mobile homes, barns and a few newer brick ranches on slabs. Many run on wells and septic, so the water in a house shows under the floor and at the foundation more than in a basement.
A call from Jersey is answered on the same 24/7 line as the rest of the list. The first questions are about the power, the main and the source, and whether the house has a crawl space, a slab or a septic system nearby.

What does a farmhouse on piers hold?
A farmhouse on block or brick piers has a crawl space under the floor, and the ground moisture rises into the joists. Storm water that stands by the piers or runs in through the vents reaches the subfloor first.
The readings are taken from below in each bay, and the old framing is opened with care.
What about the wells and septic?
Houses on wells and septic tanks need the water from the house to be read carefully, since a leak in the house can be confused with a problem in the system. The restoration work covers the water in the building, and the septic and well repairs are the owner's to arrange with a specialist.
The record notes the location of the septic tank and the well, so a drying crew does not disturb them.
What do the Alcovy bottoms add?
The Alcovy River bottoms run near the town, and the low lots nearest them take water in a heavy storm. Those lots are read at the crawl space and the lowest room first.
The record notes the high-water line on any fence, barn or pier, since those marks are the local reference for the flood.
Who handles permits in Jersey?
Jersey is in Walton County, so the county offices handle permits for the town. Ask before any work that opens a wall, changes a line or touches the septic system.
The reply goes into the restoration file, so it can be shown later.
How is a farmhouse closed up after drying?
A farmhouse is closed only when the floor, the joists and the walls reach their goal. The owner is told which materials are still high, and the work waits until they are dry.
Old framing and plaster are closed with care, and the record shows which openings were made and where.

FAQ
Jersey FAQs
Is Jersey a city?
It is a very small incorporated town in Walton County with its own ZIP code, 30018.
Does a septic system change the cleanup?
It can. The septic tank and the well are noted on the record and left to the specialist who maintains them.
Does the line answer calls from Jersey?
Yes. Calls from 30018 are answered on the same 24/7 line.
Why is the damp under my floor?
Ground moisture and storm water reach the crawl space under a pier house, and the joists take it up. The readings show how far it has gone.
What should I keep for the claim?
The photographs, the readings, the list of removed items and any permit correspondence from the county.
Does a barn or outbuilding on the lot need a separate record?
Yes. A barn or outbuilding is recorded separately, with its own readings and the items it holds.
What if the well pump was under water?
Leave the pump off until a well specialist has checked it. The restoration record notes where the pump and its wiring are.
Are older farmhouse walls read differently?
Yes. Plaster and older framing hold water longer, and the readings are taken at depth before the wall is closed.
Do the barns need a separate claim?
Usually the barn is recorded as its own structure, with its own readings and contents. The insurer may treat outbuildings under a separate part of the policy.
