Water Damage Restoration in Powder Springs, GA
Powder Springs was incorporated as Springville in 1838 and renamed in 1859 for the seven mineral springs whose water turned the sand around them black as gunpowder. It stayed a farm town until the 1970s, then grew from about 2,600 people to nearly 17,000 by 2020 as subdivisions filled the land along Powder Springs Road and Macland Road. The housing is 1970s and 1980s ranches and split-levels on crawl spaces and partial basements on the older streets, and 1990s through 2010s two-story houses with daylight basements on the newer ones, at about 945 feet in the southwest corner of Cobb.
Powder Springs Creek runs through the middle of town, and in September 2009 it came up over Powder Springs Park and Brownsville Road and put both under water. The lower subdivisions along the creek took water in their basements and crawl spaces that week, and the USGS crews who measured the flood at the Powder Springs Creek gauge called it a flow with less than a one-in-500 chance in any year.
This site puts Powder Springs homeowners through by phone to an independent local water damage provider. The provider meters the basement and the crawl space and writes the scope from the readings.
Powder Springs water damage in a daylight basement
A finished basement that took water along the downhill wall is a water extraction, and the drywall is cut where it reads wet. Creek water in a basement or a crawl space is a creek flood cleanup. A tank that let go in a basement mechanical room or a garage is water heater leak cleanup.
Seven springs, one creek, and the city's permit desk
The City of Powder Springs issues its own rebuild permits, and its water is delivered by the Cobb County Water System. The Seven Springs Museum in the Bodiford House on Marietta Street tells the story of the springs that named the town, and the water that still comes out of the ground here is the same water that shows up in a basement after a wet month.
