Marietta is the Cobb County seat, laid out in 1834 and incorporated as a city in 1852, and at 1,129 feet it sits a little higher than Kennesaw to its northwest. The Square still has the 1845 Kennesaw House on one corner, and the streets around it hold the county's oldest housing: Victorian and bungalow blocks from the 1880s through the 1920s, then ranch houses from the 1950s and 1960s built for the workers at the Lockheed plant and Dobbins. Farther out, the subdivisions off Roswell Road, Sandy Plains Road, and Powder Springs Road date from the 1970s through the 2000s. The 2020 census counted about 61,000 people and 26,600 housing units.
That range matters. A 1920s bungalow on a brick-pier foundation, a 1960s ranch on a slab, and a 1990s two-story over a basement each hold water in a different place.
This site connects Marietta homeowners with an independent local water damage provider by phone. In Marietta the provider looks at the house before writing anything.
An old pier-foundation house near the Square with water under the floor is crawl space water extraction, and the brick piers get checked where they meet the dirt. A 1950s ranch that took water across the slab from a burst line is water extraction and drying of every wall the water reached. A finished basement off Sandy Plains that seeped along the uphill wall is basement flooding cleanup.
Unlike Kennesaw, the city runs its own system: Marietta Water serves customers inside the city with water drawn through the Cobb County-Marietta Water Authority from Lake Allatoona and the Chattahoochee, and it can shut a meter when the house valve is stuck. The Marietta History Center occupies the Kennesaw House, built as a cotton warehouse in 1845, and the neighborhoods around it are the ones with the oldest plumbing in the county.

Standing water pulled off a finished floor, a slab garage, or a lower level, then meter readings to show which rooms it reached.
Air movers and dehumidifiers set by the readings, running through a humid Georgia week until framing, subfloor, and drywall hit their targets.
Water pumped from under a Kennesaw house after clay runoff or a plumbing leak, then joists, insulation, and vapor barrier dealt with.
A finished or daylight basement that took on rain or a failed line, pumped out and dried behind the drywall and under the carpet pad.
The rooms a split supply line soaked, from a hard-freeze night to a failed fitting in the attic, pumped and dried once the valve is closed.
Attic insulation, ceilings, and walls dried after a summer thunderstorm or a tropical storm sent rain through the roof.
Cleanup after a basement pit overflowed in a power outage or a stuck float, with the wall system and flooring dried, not just the puddle.
A tank that failed in a garage, a basement corner, or a second-floor closet, and the flooring and ceiling below it dried out.
