Peachtree Corners is Gwinnett's largest city, and it only incorporated in 2012 out of long-unincorporated land along Peachtree Industrial Boulevard and the Chattahoochee River. Its housing is mostly 1960s to 1980s brick ranches and split-levels on large wooded lots, and the crawl spaces and basements of that era take moisture from the floodplain and the canopy. Calls are answered 24/7.
Peachtree Corners is Gwinnett County's largest city by population, and its ZIP code is 30092. The city incorporated on 1 July 2012 out of territory that had been unincorporated for a long time, along Peachtree Industrial Boulevard and the Chattahoochee River.

Local weather drives activity here: heat, humidity and rain change what shows up week to week.
Crawl spaces and basements built in the 1960s to 1980s, under heavy canopy and beside the Chattahoochee floodplain, hold ground moisture for a long time after a storm. The joists and the lower walls are read from below as well as above.
The readings are taken in every bay, and the finish above is lifted only where the numbers stay high.
Houses near the river and the backyard creeks take water from the floodplain when the river and the creeks rise together. The lowest lots and the rear walls are read first.
The record notes the grade and the downspouts, since a downspout that empties at the foundation adds to the water on the wall.
Mature trees drop limbs and debris on roofs and gutters in heavy storms, and a clogged gutter sends water down the wall. The attic and the gutters are checked after each storm.
The owner can ask a roofer to clear the gutters before the wet season, since a gutter that overflows is a cheap place to stop water.
