See the serviceWhat to do in the first hour of a water leak
- 01Close the right valve Shut the main valve in the house. Cobb County Water System owns the pipe from the main to the meter; the pipe from the meter to the building belongs to the owner.
- 02Report a street or sewer problem For a sewer backup in the street or a broken county water main, Cobb County asks residents to call its water system emergency dispatch.
- 03Make the room safe Turn off breakers for wet rooms if the panel is dry and reachable, and keep everyone off soaked floors near outlets.
- 04Record it, then call Photograph every wet room and the source before anything moves, then call for water extraction around the clock.
The same four commitments on every job
The restoration crew measures first, removes only what cannot be dried and writes down every reading.
Rapid local response
Dispatch runs through the night and on holidays, because water in a subfloor or behind drywall does more harm with every hour it sits.
IICRC S500 drying standard
Thermal imaging and meters outline the wet area. Air movers and dehumidifiers stay until the readings match dry material elsewhere in the home.
Claim-ready documentation
Dated photos before demolition, daily psychrometric logs and moisture maps go into one file for the adjuster.
Local water know-how
Nickajack Creek, the Chattahoochee River edge, Gordon Creek and the county sewer system all shape how water reaches buildings here.
How the IICRC S500 standard runs a dry-out
IICRC S500 is the industry drying standard. It sets the water category and class first, then calls the job finished only when the readings say so.
Assess
The tech who does the walkthrough stops the source if it is still running, names the category and class and maps every wet surface.
Remove the water
The extraction crew uses truck-mounted units and pumps, which pull out far more water than fans ever evaporate.
Dry the structure
Air movers sized to each room and LGR dehumidifiers, with desiccants on dense Class 4 materials, draw the water out of the building.
Prove it is dry
Readings are recorded daily, and equipment leaves only when materials sit within 2 to 4 points of a dry reference.
Clean, gray and black water, each handled differently
Clean water
A split supply pipe, a leaking water heater or an overflowing AC pan. Started quickly, most materials can be dried where they are.
Burst pipe water damageGray water
Washer drain water, a dishwasher overflow or a toilet without waste. Pad is usually replaced and surfaces are treated.
Appliance and supply hose leaksBlack water
Sewage and water from a creek or river. Category 3 from the first minute, so porous materials are removed.

Read your own policy
A sudden pipe break or tank failure is often covered. Slow leaks, groundwater and sewer backup without an endorsement are often excluded.
Water from Nickajack Creek, Gordon Creek or the Chattahoochee River counts as flooding, which needs a separate flood policy. Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.

Where water comes from in Mableton
Mableton is a city in Cobb County, approved by voters in November 2022. It calls itself the largest city in the county, with nearly 80,000 residents across about 37 square miles, and Austell borders it on the west.
- Nickajack Creek on the north edge. The creek runs along the city's northern edge, set its record crest in 2009 and was named again in flash flood warnings on September 17, 2020.
- The Chattahoochee River border. The river forms the southeast border; heavy rain in late March 2023 raised it near Riverview Landing, though it stayed away from the road.
- Sewers under strain. A heavy flood in 1916 overwhelmed the first town's sewer system, and Cobb County reported a wastewater overflow into Gordon Creek on December 15, 2025.
- The owner's side of the meter. Cobb County Water System owns the pipe up to the meter; a break between the meter and the building is the property owner's to repair.
- Pipes that freeze. Cobb County's December 2024 winter weather notice warned that broken frozen pipes can cause flooding and heavy water loss when they thaw.
September 22, 2009: Nickajack Creek at Mableton crested at a record 19.30 feet, above the old record of 16.60 feet, and the Chattahoochee River rose all the way to Riverview Road.
Water damage questions from Mableton property owners
Water coming in right now?
Close the main valve if it is safe and call. The extraction crew handles the water, the drying and the records.
(888) 532-4616 Talk it through with dispatchHow quickly does help arrive for a water emergency?
Dispatch runs 24/7 and treats active water as urgent, nights, weekends and holidays included. The extraction crew brings truck-mounted extraction, meters and drying equipment, since the first hours decide how much can be dried instead of replaced.
Who do I call when sewage backs up from the street?
Cobb County Water System serves the sewer here and asks residents to call its emergency dispatch for a sewer backup in a home or street. Inside the house, sewage is Category 3, and sewage backup cleanup covers containment, removal and treatment.
Which part of the water pipe is mine to fix?
Cobb County Water System owns and maintains the pipe from the water main to the meter. The pipe from the meter to the building is the property owner's responsibility, so a leak on that stretch is repaired by the owner's plumber.
Does homeowners insurance pay for water damage?
Sudden and accidental water, such as a split supply pipe, is often covered. Creek and river flooding needs a separate flood policy, and sewer backup usually needs an endorsement. Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
How can I check the flood risk for a property?
A Special Flood Hazard Area is land with a 1% yearly chance of flooding, often called the 100-year flood. Georgia offers a free property flood risk lookup by address on the Georgia DFIRM site.
Is water from Nickajack Creek treated differently from a pipe leak?
Yes. Creek and river water is Category 3 from the moment it enters. Carpet, pad, insulation and drywall it touched are removed, surfaces get an EPA-registered antimicrobial and containment goes up. See flood and storm water cleanup.
How long does drying usually take?
A contained Class 1 loss usually dries in three to five days when work starts quickly. Hardwood, plaster and concrete hold water longer. The equipment stays until the readings say dry, not until a set date arrives.
When does wet drywall have to be cut out?
Drywall touched by Category 2 or 3 water is removed a short way above the wet mark. With clean water caught early, drywall that dries fast can often stay, unless the insulation behind it is soaked.
What is the difference between mitigation and repair?
Mitigation stops the damage: extraction, removal of ruined materials and structural drying. Repair rebuilds afterward with new drywall, flooring and paint. Insurers usually handle the two as separate parts of one claim.
What sets the cost of a water damage job here?
The water category, the square footage that got wet, the material class and how soon drying began. The water damage cost calculator shows a typical range for your rooms.
