Water Damage Restoration in Argyle Estates, GA

Argyle Estates is a 1960s neighborhood off Concord Road on the southwest side of Smyrna, a loop of brick ranches and split-levels on half-acre wooded lots that slope toward the Nickajack Creek bottoms. Argyle Forest next door is the same era and the same builders. The houses here have a little more to them than the 1950s ranches closer to downtown: a den over a partial basement, a two-car garage set into the hill, and a crawl space under the rest.

That partial basement is where the water goes. The block wall on the uphill side weeps at the floor joint after a week of rain, the downhill wall takes runoff off the yard, and a finished den down there has carpet and paneling that hold it. The crawl space behind the block wall is on the same clay and gets wet in the same storm.

This site puts Argyle Estates homeowners through by phone to an independent local water damage provider. The provider meters the basement walls and the crawl space in one visit.

Argyle Estates water damage in a 1960s split-level

A finished den that took water along the block wall is a water extraction, and the paneling comes off where the readings say the wall behind it is wet. Water on the clay under the bedrooms is a crawl space water extraction. Once the wet material is out, structural drying runs in both spaces until the readings match.

Creek bottoms, ballfields, and the week the den is closed

The land at the bottom of the neighborhood drains to Nickajack Creek, and the county's Cobb County PARKS system keeps much of the creek corridor west of here as parkland and ballfields, which is where the children end up on the afternoons the den is full of air movers. Rebuild permits go through the City of Smyrna. Ask the provider to note where the water came into the basement, because that answer decides both the repair and the insurance question.

Call (770) 830-3578 and describe the wet wall. An independent local water damage provider serving Argyle Estates picks it up from there.
