Marietta Square water damage covers downtown Marietta and the surrounding historic streets, including the Whitlock Avenue and Church-Cherokee districts, plus the rest of Marietta and Cobb County.
Historic neighborhoods around the Square include homes dating from the 1800s and early 1900s. Older homes may contain plaster, original wood or other materials that behave differently when they get wet.
Step 1
Mention the age of the house and what the affected materials are.
Step 2
Ask about the earliest available appointment in the area.
Step 3
Same order as anywhere, with more care about what is being dried.
