What drives water damage in Smyrna homes?

Cobb County has its own pattern. Finished basements built into the clay hillsides take storm runoff and wall seepage, vented crawl spaces hide water for weeks, sump pumps fail during the same storm that floods them, winter cold snaps split exposed pipes, and creeks and low crossings flash flood in heavy rain.

How do I protect my home before storm season?

Extend downspouts and grade soil away from the foundation, seal basement wall cracks, add a battery backup to the sump pump, keep the crawl space vapor barrier sound, and insulate exposed pipes before winter. Know where your main shut-off is so you can stop an inside leak fast.

Why is a sump pump backup so important?

The most common sump failure is a power loss during the storm, which is exactly when you need the pump most. A battery or water powered backup keeps the basement protected when the power goes out, which is the single best upgrade for a Smyrna basement.

What should I do the moment my home takes on water?

If it is safe, shut the water off at the main, stay off the wet floor, keep clear of outlets and the panel, and call us. If the water is a sewer or drain backup or storm flood water, do not touch it, it is contaminated. We talk you through the rest while a crew is on the way.
