Marietta sits in a corner of metro Atlanta where a single stalled thunderstorm can drop several inches in an hour. The Chattahoochee River and creeks like Sope, Rottenwood, Nickajack, and Noonday rise fast off red clay that sheds water instead of soaking it in. When that runoff reaches a home, it comes in as muddy, contaminated Category 3 water, and it does not wait for morning.
Why storm and flood water is different
Ground floodwater is not clean rain. It carries mud, yard chemicals, and whatever it crossed on the way in, so it has to be handled as contaminated from the start.
- Category 3 water requires disinfection and safe disposal, not just drying
- Porous materials that soaked it up, like carpet pad and some drywall, usually come out
- Our restoration technicians wear the right protective gear and contain the area
The CDC's guidance on flood water is clear that it can carry contaminants, which is why a mop and a bucket are not enough after a real flood.

Never drive or wade a flooded crossing
Cobb County has low road crossings that flood in minutes. Stay out of moving water, keep valuables off the lowest level when a storm stalls, and call us once it is safe to reach the house.
A creek behind us came up in a bad storm and pushed muddy water into the lower level. They treated it like the contaminated mess it was, cleaned everything, and dried it right. No smell, no worries after.

FAQ
Storm and Flood Water Cleanup questions, answered
Water in your home right now?
Do not wait for the FAQ. A Marietta crew is standing by 24/7.
(770) 874-2642 Call nowIs storm flood water dangerous to clean up myself?
Yes. Ground floodwater is Category 3, meaning it can carry mud, chemicals, and bacteria. It needs protective gear, disinfection, and safe disposal of soaked porous materials, which is why our restoration crews handle it rather than a mop and bucket.
How fast should I call after storm flooding?
Right away. Contaminated water spreads and soaks in by the minute, and the longer it sits the more has to be removed. We answer 24/7 and reach most of Cobb County in 45 to 90 minutes.
What gets thrown out after a flood?
Porous materials that soaked up contaminated water, like carpet pad, some drywall, and saturated insulation, usually come out. We save what can be safely cleaned and dried and document everything removed for your claim.
Does homeowners insurance cover storm flooding?
It depends on the source. Water that enters from the ground, like a creek or surface flood, is often covered by separate flood insurance, while a storm-driven roof or window leak may fall under your homeowners policy. We document the loss so your carrier can make the call.
Why is my area prone to flooding?
Marietta's red clay sheds water fast, and creeks like Sope and Rottenwood rise quickly in a downpour, so low and sloped lots take on runoff. Homes near the Chattahoochee and low crossings see it most.
Do you disinfect after removing the water?
Yes. After extraction we clean and disinfect the affected surfaces and framing, then dry to a verified reading, because Category 3 water leaves contaminants behind even after it is pumped out.
