Mountain Park is a city of 583 people, by the 2020 census, incorporated in 1927 around two lakes, Lake Garrett inside the limits and Lake Cherful straddling the county line downstream. Most of the city is in Fulton County, with a sliver reaching into southeastern Cherokee County, at about 1,004 feet. The houses are 1950s and 1960s lake cottages on piers and a mix of later ranches and two-story builds on steep wooded lots that drain straight to the water.
Both lakes have been silting in from upstream development in Roswell, a fight the city took to court in 2005 and won in 2010, and the same runoff that fills the lakes runs through the crawl spaces on the way down.
Homeowners in Mountain Park who call this number are put through to an independent local water damage provider. The provider meters the house before writing the scope.
A cottage with water under the floor after a storm is a crawl space water extraction job, and on these slopes the low end of the crawl space is often the lakeside wall. A leak that soaked a ceiling under an upstairs bath is ceiling water damage. A room that stayed damp after the surface dried is finished by structural drying.
The City of Mountain Park runs its own water and sewer service, buying treated water from the Cobb County-Marietta Water Authority, so a leak on the street side of the meter is the city's call. Rebuild permits go through the city for houses inside the limits; a house just outside falls to Fulton or Cherokee County depending on the line.
Call (770) 697-0510 and say what is wet. We reach an independent local water damage provider serving Mountain Park.
Rain that came through a daylight basement wall or a failed pit pumped out, then the carpet, pad, and lower drywall metered before anything is pulled.
Standing water pulled off tile, hardwood, and carpet with truck-mounted or portable extractors, followed by the first moisture map of the house.
Air movers and dehumidifiers set by the readings, then checked daily until subfloor, studs, and drywall reach their dry target in Georgia humidity.
Creek or storm water that entered the house removed, contaminated materials bagged out, and the rooms cleaned and dried on a plan.
Water pumped from under a vented crawl space, wet insulation removed, and joists and subfloor dried before the floor above goes soft.
A stained or sagging ceiling under an upstairs bath, laundry, or roof leak opened where the readings say, dried, and prepared for repair.
A burst hose or overflow in an upstairs laundry traced through the floor, extracted, and dried in the laundry room and the room beneath it.
Cupped or crowned hardwood dried with floor mats and readings taken from below before anyone decides the boards have to come up.
