Water Damage Restoration - Done in the Right Order

Each stage is performed by the independent restoration contractor the call reaches; IICRC S500 is the industry standard that describes them.

  1. Step 1: Extraction

    Standing water is pumped out before it can travel further into drywall, subfloor, and framing. Speed here changes the scope of everything that follows.

  2. Step 2: Moisture mapping

    Meters read the material, not the air, so the wet edge is found even when the surface already looks dry. The map sets what has to come out and what can stay.

  3. Step 3: Drying

    Air movers and dehumidifiers run as a closed system until readings inside the material reach a dry standard, not until a calendar date arrives.

  4. Step 4: Verification

    The same points are re-read before equipment comes out. Rebuild starts only after the structure, not just the surface, is confirmed dry.

What drives water into buildings in Kennesaw

The Kennesaw area our local pros cover for water damage restoration takes in Prichard Park, Whispering Lake, and North Bridge Trace. A Cobb County city where three quarters of the housing has gone up since 1990 on deeply weathered granite, drained almost entirely by detention ponds.

Housing stock

Of roughly 14,380 housing units, about 3,526 were finished in 1989 or earlier, which puts the median construction year at 1998. Newer subdivisions with basements and crawl spaces cut into weathered rock that holds water and gives it up slowly. Each neighborhood drains to a pond that somebody is supposed to be maintaining.

Climate and water risk

March is the wettest month here at 5.37 inches, part of an annual 53.64 inches in the 1991–2020 normals from KENNESAW 5.6 SW, 5.8 miles off. March leads at over five inches within a fifty-four inch year, and the wet season is winter and early spring. That is when nothing is growing and the ground has no capacity left.

Common water damage problems in Kennesaw

  • Rock weathered to a soft layer many feet thick, which stores water rather than passing it
  • Detention ponds handed to associations, with outlets that silt up unnoticed
  • A winter and spring wet season arriving when the ground is already full
  • Basements cut into weathered rock where water arrives sideways rather than from below

Frequently asked questions

Water arrives at the wall from the uphill side.

Weathered granite holds water and moves it downslope along the boundary with sound rock beneath, so a basement cut into that ground intercepts the flow at its uphill wall. It arrives sideways under pressure rather than rising from below. A drain along that footing, discharging to daylight where the slope allows it, is the arrangement that works, and on a sloping lot it need not involve a pump.

Why is February worse than July?

Because of what the ground is holding rather than what falls. Through the winter nothing is growing and nothing is drawing water out, so the profile stays full and the wettest months of the year land on it. In July the same rain meets ground with room and a great deal of vegetation working on it. The season explains more about a wet basement here than storm size does.

Who maintains the detention pond?

Usually the homeowners association rather than the county, and the outlet is the part that matters. These ponds work by holding water and releasing it slowly through a small opening, and that opening silts up or becomes obstructed over the years with nobody watching. A pond that stays full longer than it used to is the sign. Establishing who holds it is the first step.
