Birmingham averages 54 inches of rainfall per year, well above the national average. Summer months bring high humidity and frequent thunderstorms that saturate soil and overwhelm drainage systems. The expansive clay soil common throughout Jefferson County swells when wet and shrinks when dry, causing foundation movement and cracks that allow groundwater intrusion. Homes in low-lying areas near Shades Creek or Valley Creek face additional flooding risks during heavy rains. These conditions make Birmingham homes especially vulnerable to chronic moisture problems and mold growth. If your allergic reactions started during or after a wet season, water damage is the likely cause.
