Water Damage Restoration in Cumberland, GA
Cumberland is the edge city at the corner of I-75 and I-285 on the northeast side of Smyrna, unincorporated Cobb County, about 10 miles from downtown Atlanta. It was a Boy Scout camp until 1960. Cumberland Mall opened in 1973 as the largest in Georgia, the Cobb Galleria office towers followed in the 1980s, the property owners formed Georgia's first self-taxing improvement district in 1988, and Truist Park and The Battery Atlanta opened in 2017. Around all of that is the housing: 1970s and 1980s condos and townhomes along Cumberland Boulevard and Akers Mill Road, apartment complexes from every decade since, and the new mid-rise and townhome blocks near the ballpark.
Rottenwood Creek drains the whole district to the Chattahoochee, and it rises fast when a thunderstorm hits ten million square feet of roofs and parking decks. The ground here drops from about 1,050 feet at the interstates to about 740 at the river, and the older condos on the low side of Akers Mill sit in that drainage.
This site puts Cumberland owners through by phone to an independent local water damage provider. The provider meters the unit and the units around it before setting the scope.
Cumberland water damage in a condo or a townhome
A ceiling stained by the unit above is ceiling water damage repair, and the association is part of the call. A washer hose or a supply line that let go in a 1980s condo is a water extraction across the unit and often the one below. A ground-floor unit that took Rottenwood Creek water in a storm is a creek flood cleanup.
A ballpark, a concert hall, and a county permit desk
The Cumberland Community Improvement District has put about $190 million into the roads, trails, and creek corridors of the district since 1988, including the Bob Callan Trail along Rottenwood Creek. The Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre, a 2,750-seat hall on Cobb Galleria Parkway, is the district's landmark after the ballpark. Cumberland is unincorporated, so rebuild permits go through Cobb County Community Development, and a condo association's master policy covers the shell while your policy covers the inside of the unit.
Call (770) 830-3578 and say which unit and which floor is wet. An independent local water damage provider serving Cumberland takes it from there.
