The city occupies the bend of the Chattahoochee River above Medlock Bridge. Its housing is overwhelmingly 1980s to 2000s large brick-and-stucco houses on daylight basements and slabs, in golf and country-club subdivisions such as Medlock Bridge and St. Ives, on wooded sloping lots.
A call from Johns Creek is answered on the same 24/7 line as the rest of the list. The first questions are about the power, the main and whether the house sits on a slope with a daylight basement.
Local weather drives activity here: heat, humidity and rain change what shows up week to week.
Stucco-clad framing holds moisture behind the wall and can hide it for a long time. A damp spot on the inside may be the first sign, and the readings are taken behind the finish rather than at the visible surface.
The drying plan opens the wall only where the readings stay high, and the stucco is reread at each check.
The river bend and the creek corridors drain large areas of wooded and irrigated ground toward the low lots. The houses on those lots take water from the slope above and from the creek side.
The record notes the grade and the creek level if it is known for the day, since both shape the readings.
A daylight basement is cut into the slope, with its back wall buried and its front open. Water on the slope reaches the buried wall and the floor line, and the readings start there.
Irrigated lawns add moisture to the ground on the slope, and that moisture keeps the buried wall damp longer after a storm.
Johns Creek is a city, and its own building department answers permit questions for work inside the city. Ask before any work that opens a wall or changes a line.
The reply goes into the restoration file.
A wooded slope holds moisture in the soil and the leaf litter, and the wall on the slope side stays damp longer than the others. The readings are taken on the slope side first.
The drying plan keeps the slope-side room open until its readings are dry, and the record shows the readings at each check.
Water on the slope reaches the buried wall and the floor line of a daylight basement.
The river bend and creek corridors take the flood on the low lots first.
Damp stucco framing and daylight-basement walls keep moisture long enough for growth.

It can, by keeping the ground on a slope wet. The readings show whether the moisture is in the house or the ground.
The photographs, the readings, the list of removed items and any permit correspondence.
Moisture from the wooded soil reaches the wall and holds there, so the readings take longer to reach goal.
Yes. Water can move up the framing, so the first and second floors are read as well as the basement.
The method is the same. The record notes the grade and the drainage that comes from the course, since it is part of the outside condition.
Not every lot. The lower lots near the river and the creek corridors take more water, and the record shows the elevation and the grade for each property.
