What makes Marietta different

Marietta ranges from historic homes around the Square and Church Street to mid-century ranches and big subdivisions in East Cobb and around Kennesaw Mountain. Two situations come up again and again:

Finished basementsA burst line upstairs or in the basement ceiling soaks drywall, carpet, built-ins and furniture.

Historic and older homesOriginal plumbing, plaster walls and old-growth hardwood need careful drying.

Finished basement after a burst pipe

Wet carpet pad almost always comes out; carpet can sometimes be saved if the water was clean and drying starts quickly
The bottom 1 to 2 feet of drywall is often cut out so the wall cavity can dry
Wet insulation behind the drywall must be removed
Built-in cabinets and bars may need to be pulled to dry behind them

Older homes need a lighter touch

Plaster and old hardwood react differently from modern drywall and engineered flooring. Experienced restoration crews use targeted drying (like drying mats on hardwood and controlled dehumidification) to save original materials where possible instead of tearing them out.
