What to do first in Austell
Austell's homes are older than Cobb County's, with 9% built before 1950 against 2% countywide. Many sit over crawl spaces. If water is coming from under the floor, close the main shutoff, often at the meter or where the line enters the crawl space.
Flip off the breakers for rooms with water on the floor. Photograph the source, the floor and anything damaged.
On the 6 or so nights a year that drop to 20 degrees, by NOAA's count, check crawl space pipes in the morning. Move furniture and rugs to a dry room. Renters, 37% of households here, should tell the landlord in writing. Water removal under a raised floor takes longer than on a slab, and water-damaged floor repair may follow if boards cup. Austell calls are picked up 24/7.
