Mableton is the newest city in Georgia and one of the oldest settlements in Cobb. Robert Mable bought 300 acres here in 1843, the town incorporated in 1912 and gave up its charter in 1916 after a flood, and it stayed unincorporated for more than a century until voters approved cityhood in November 2022 and the city stood up on May 11, 2023, with about 78,000 people inside the new limits. The housing is 1950s and 1960s ranches on crawl spaces along Floyd Road and Clay Road, 1970s and 1980s subdivisions off Veterans Memorial Highway, and a wave of 2000s townhomes and subdivisions on the land toward the river.
Nickajack Creek runs through the north side of the city on its way to the Chattahoochee, and it floods. The stretch near Veterans Memorial Highway goes under a flood warning in a wet August, and the county has been repairing a stormwater wall along the creek here. In September 2009 the creek and the river both came up, and the low houses along both took water.
This site puts Mableton homeowners through by phone to an independent local water damage provider. The provider meters the crawl space and the lower level before deciding what opens.
Creek water in a crawl space or a lower level is a creek flood cleanup, and the mud comes out before anything dries. Standing water under a Floyd Road ranch after a pipe split is a crawl space water extraction. A supply line that froze in a townhome attic during the Christmas 2022 cold is burst pipe water damage.
Rebuild permits for drywall, plumbing, and wiring now go through the City of Mableton, which is still standing up the departments a city needs; ask the provider which desk is handling residential permits this year. On the south end of the city, Six Flags Over Georgia sits in the Chattahoochee floodplain off I-20, and in 2009 the river climbed most of the way up one of its roller coasters, which is a fair picture of how high the water gets down there.
