Water Damage Restoration in Bennett Woods, GA

Bennett Woods lies on the east side of Smyrna between Spring Road and Cumberland, a neighborhood of 1960s and early 1970s brick ranches, split-foyers, and two-story colonials on wooded, rolling lots that drain toward Rottenwood Creek. The split-foyers are common here: a front door at grade, a half flight up to the living room, a half flight down to a den and garage set into the hill. That lower level is half below grade on the uphill side and has a crawl space or a block wall behind the paneling.

When a summer thunderstorm stalls over Cumberland, the runoff off the parking decks and the interstate reaches Rottenwood Creek fast, and the lots at the bottom of Bennett Woods feel it first. Power goes out in those storms too, and a sump pump in a finished lower level quits with it.

This site puts Bennett Woods homeowners through by phone to an independent local water damage provider. The provider meters the lower level and the crawl space behind it before deciding what opens.

Bennett Woods water damage in a split-foyer

A lower den that took water along the uphill wall is a water extraction, with the paneling pulled where the readings say the block behind it is wet. A crawl space with standing water on the clay is a crawl space water extraction. A roof torn open by a pine limb in a spring squall is roof leak water damage, and the attic insulation is usually part of it.

When the storm takes the power with it

Parts of east Smyrna are served by Cobb EMC, the member-owned cooperative that powers close to 200,000 accounts across Cobb and the neighboring counties, and an outage in a thunderstorm is the reason a lower-level sump pump goes quiet. Say on the call whether the power is back on in the wet part of the house. Rebuild permits go through the City of Smyrna.
