Water Damage Restoration in Vinings, GA

Vinings is the unincorporated community on the Cobb bank of the Chattahoochee, across the river from Buckhead, where Hardy Pace ran his ferry in the 1830s and the Western and Atlantic Railroad came through in the 1840s. It is about 3 square miles at 915 feet, with Paces Ferry Road as its spine, and about 12,600 people in the 2020 census. The housing runs from 1960s ranches and split-levels on the ridges off Paces Mill Road, through the 1980s and 1990s condos and townhomes stacked along Paces Ferry and Cumberland Boulevard, to the high-rises on Mount Wilkinson and the large new houses that replaced ranches in the last twenty years.

The river is close and low. In September 2009, after a week of rain, houses along the Chattahoochee in Vinings took about six feet of water on the first floor, and some had already been raised once. Up the hill, the losses are the ordinary ones: a condo washer hose over a neighbor's ceiling, a supply line split in a townhome attic in the December 2022 freeze.

This site puts Vinings homeowners through by phone to an independent local water damage provider. The provider meters from the river side or from the attic, whichever the loss calls for.

Vinings water damage, from the riverbank to the condo tower

River water in a first floor or a crawl space is a creek flood cleanup, and the wet drywall and flooring come out. A condo ceiling stained by the unit above is ceiling water damage repair, and the association is part of the conversation. A tank that failed on a townhome attic platform is water heater leak cleanup.

The river, the park, and the permit desk

The Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area keeps the Paces Mill and Cochran Shoals units of riverbank on Vinings' doorstep, and the same floodplain that makes them good parkland is what put six feet of water in the houses beside them in 2009. When the kitchen is out of service for a week, Cumberland Mall, open since 1973 at the top of the hill, is where a lot of Vinings families eat. Vinings is unincorporated, so rebuild permits go through Cobb County Community Development, not a city desk.

Call (770) 830-3578 and say which floor is wet and where the water came from. An independent local water damage provider serving Vinings takes it from there.
