How Water Damage Shows Up in Marietta
Creek and river flooding after tropical rain
Helene's flooding in 2024 sent creeks and the Chattahoochee River out of their banks across Cobb and DeKalb counties. Creek-side yards, garages and lower levels take water first, and flood water carries mud and sewage, so we clean and disinfect as well as dry.
Water main breaks and boil advisories
A county water main break can leave a neighborhood with low or no pressure and a boil advisory. When pressure returns, weak pipes and fittings can leak under sinks, behind appliances and at water heaters, and a small leak can wet walls and floors for days before it shows.
Hard freezes and storm-opened roofs
North Georgia sees nights at or below freezing through the winter, and a line that splits in an exterior wall, attic or crawl space soaks what is around it. Thunderstorms and tropical remnants also bring trees and wind that open roofs, letting rain into ceilings and insulation within hours.

Signs You Need Water Damage Restoration, and What To Do First
- Standing water or wet carpet in the basement after a storm
- Water seeping through floor cracks or the joint where the wall meets the floor
- Ceiling stains, sagging drywall, or bubbling paint
- A musty odor in a basement, closet, or crawl space
- Warped floors, swollen baseboards, or buckled trim
- A water meter that moves when every fixture is off
If water is entering the building, stop the source if you can reach the shutoff safely, and turn off power to wet areas if it is safe to do so. Move valuables, rugs, and electronics to a dry spot, take photos for your claim, and call (470) 287-3895. Do not walk through standing water near outlets or appliances, and do not use a household vacuum on water.
What Affects the Scope and Timeline
The scope depends on where the water came from and how long it sat. Clean water from a supply line affects different materials than storm runoff or a sewer backup, and a loss caught in the first hours often saves drywall and flooring that a loss caught the next day cannot. We list each room, the moisture readings, and the materials we will dry, clean, or remove, and we update the list as the readings change.
Most residential losses take 3 to 5 days to dry, followed by repairs. Finished basements, hidden leaks inside walls, and losses involving contaminated water take longer. Daily readings tell us when the structure is dry, and we share them with you.
What We Restore After Water Damage
- Finished basements and basement walls
- Drywall, insulation, and ceilings
- Hardwood, laminate, and subfloors
- Carpet and pad
- Cabinets, trim, and baseboards
- Ceilings below upstairs bathrooms
- Contents and electronics
- Crawl spaces and utility rooms
Insurance and Documentation for Water Damage Restoration
We provide Direct Insurance Coordination on water losses. That means photos, readings, and a written scope of work that your adjuster can review, communication with the adjuster on your behalf, and billing handled for you. Coverage depends on your policy, so confirm with your carrier what applies to each source of water, since a burst pipe, a sump pump failure, a sewer backup, and surface flooding are often treated differently.
