East Cobb is the unincorporated stretch of the county east of Marietta, between Roswell Road, Johnson Ferry Road, and the Chattahoochee, and it was built in one long wave from the late 1960s through the 1990s. That makes it the county's largest concentration of a single house type: the two-story traditional or the split-level on a full basement, on a wooded lot that slopes toward Sope Creek, Willeo Creek, or the river. The basements were finished as the families grew, and a wall that was bare block in 1978 is drywall, carpet, and a home theater today.
Fifty-year-old block basement walls on clay lots are where East Cobb's water shows up. Mortar joints let groundwater through after a long rain, footing drains clog with roots, and the sump pumps installed in the 1990s are past their working life.
This site connects East Cobb homeowners with an independent local water damage provider by phone. The provider walks the house before writing anything.
A basement that seeped through the block along the uphill wall is basement flooding cleanup, with the carpet pad and the bottom foot of drywall metered first. A pit that overflowed when a storm took the power is sump pump failure cleanup. A 1970s copper line that pinholed inside a wall is burst pipe water damage down to the floor below.
East Cobb Park on Roswell Road sits on the low ground of a creek bottom, the same kind of ground the neighborhoods around it drain to. Since East Cobb is unincorporated, a rebuild is permitted through Cobb County Community Development, and water service comes from the county system.

Standing water pulled off a finished floor, a slab garage, or a lower level, then meter readings to show which rooms it reached.
Air movers and dehumidifiers set by the readings, running through a humid Georgia week until framing, subfloor, and drywall hit their targets.
Water pumped from under a Kennesaw house after clay runoff or a plumbing leak, then joists, insulation, and vapor barrier dealt with.
A finished or daylight basement that took on rain or a failed line, pumped out and dried behind the drywall and under the carpet pad.
The rooms a split supply line soaked, from a hard-freeze night to a failed fitting in the attic, pumped and dried once the valve is closed.
Attic insulation, ceilings, and walls dried after a summer thunderstorm or a tropical storm sent rain through the roof.
Cleanup after a basement pit overflowed in a power outage or a stuck float, with the wall system and flooring dried, not just the puddle.
A tank that failed in a garage, a basement corner, or a second-floor closet, and the flooring and ceiling below it dried out.
