Ball Ground was the end of the rail line when it was finished in 1882, took a town charter on September 27, 1883, and turned into a marble town after the first finishing company opened in 1898. By the 1920s four marble mills ran here; by 1959 the industry had mostly left. The 2020 census counted 2,560 people, and the town sits high for the county, averaging about 1,100 feet, with valleys just over 1,000 feet and hilltops near 1,200. Interstate 575 ends its run here at exit 27, and Georgia 5 and 372 cross in the center.
Housing is a mix: 1900s frame houses on piers along the old main street, 1970s ranches on crawl spaces, and farmhouse-style subdivisions with basements built since the 2010s on the slopes toward the Etowah.
Homeowners in Ball Ground who call this number are put through to an independent local water damage provider. The provider walks the house and meters it before writing the scope.
A new-build basement that took water through the wall on a steep lot is a basement flooding cleanup job, and steep grades here send more water at the wall than a flat lot would. A 1970s ranch with water under the floor after a storm is crawl space water extraction. An upstairs bath that stained the ceiling below is ceiling water damage.
Ball Ground permits rebuilds through its own city hall inside the limits, with the county handling the farm lots outside. Just north of town on Gibbs Drive, Gibbs Gardens spreads more than 300 acres of ponds, bridges, and waterfalls across the same red clay hills, and the same rain that feeds its ponds drains into the basements of the subdivisions below it.
