Why Floodline Restoration Co. of Atlanta Is Marietta’s Preferred Reconstruction & Cleanup Company
Marietta homeowners tend to stay put. The same families have lived in those 1960s split-levels off Whitlock Avenue for forty years, and they remember exactly which contractor burned them the last time. That’s why our crews work the way they do: background-checked, uniformed, certified to IICRC, RIA, and IFA standards, and accountable to one name. Curt Bowman founded this company in 2010 around a dispatch board, not a sales desk. Every job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise, our written Keystone Standard. If it’s not done right, we make it right. No arguing, no paperwork battles.
We know Marietta’s housing stock the way a local crew should. The 1950s ranches in ZIP 30060 and the 1960s split-levels in 30064 and 30062 behave differently after water damage than the newer slab homes out toward Kennesaw. That matters when you’re scoping a rebuild. We read the moisture map on day one, log daily readings until the dry standard is met, and hand that log to you and your carrier. No mid-job handoff to a different crew. The same team that extracts also rebuilds.
Our Reconstruction & Cleanup Services in Marietta
Full-Service Reconstruction
Full-service reconstruction in Marietta means drywall, framing, trim, paint, flooring, and whatever else the damage took out, handled by the same certified crew that dried the structure. We don’t hand your job to a subcontractor we’ve never met. That continuity matters in older Marietta homes, where a 1960s split-level’s framing doesn’t always match modern measurements and a rebuild has to account for settled red clay, shifted door headers, and plaster that’s been patched three times since Eisenhower. We scope it all before we start, in writing.
Drywall & Flooring Repair
Water-damaged drywall in a Marietta crawl-space home often wicks moisture higher than it looks. We cut past the visible damage line and inspect the sill plate and stud cavities before we hang new board. For flooring, whether it’s hardwood, tile, or carpet over a 50-year-old subfloor, we match materials, repair subfloor damage, and make sure the finished floor sits level even where decades of clay settlement shifted the joists.
Contents Restoration & Pack-Out
When a Whitlock Avenue basement floods, the contents usually matter as much as the structure. We offer full pack-out and contents restoration for Marietta homeowners: furniture, documents, photos, rugs, and keepsakes inventoried, packed, cleaned, and stored until the rebuild is complete. Every item is logged and photo-documented, which your insurance carrier will appreciate. We coordinate directly with adjusters, so you never play messenger between us and the insurance company.
Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning
After reconstruction is finished, Marietta homeowners often ask us to clean carpets and upholstery that survived the damage but carry that musty, damp smell. We run professional-grade truck-mounted extraction and low-moisture cleaning that gets the odor out without soaking the pad. For crawl-space homes, we also check that the subfloor underneath hasn’t been re-wetting from a failed vapor barrier, because cleaning carpet over a damp crawl space is just renting the problem for another month.

Trusted Brands We Service in Marietta
Our crews work on every brand of equipment and fixture found in Marietta homes, and we stock the common parts locally so we’re not waiting on a supply house in another county. Whether it’s a furnace damaged by floodwater, a water heater that failed, or dryer venting that’s been soaking wall cavities for years, we service the majors: Rheem, Carrier, Trane, Whirlpool, and more. For drying and moisture control, we run Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, and XPOWER equipment, the same professional-grade gear used by restoration companies nationwide. Stocking local parts means faster turnaround for Marietta customers, and it means the rebuild doesn’t stall because a vent cover is on backorder.
Common Reconstruction & Cleanup Problems We See in Marietta Homes
- Red-clay settlement reversing drainage pitch. Dozens of west Marietta split-levels along Powder Springs Road and Whitlock Avenue were graded into sloped clay lots in the 1960s, and fifty-plus years of soil movement have slowly reversed the original pitch. Water that used to drain away now runs toward the foundation, and the downhill-facing basement floods nearly every spring. Any rebuild on these lots has to address drainage before drywall goes back up, or you’ll be calling us again next year.
- Original 1960s vapor barriers failing in crawl spaces. Most postwar Marietta homes still have their original crawl-space vapor barrier, and after five or six decades it’s torn, missing chunks, or glued to the dirt with red clay. Water evaporating up from the soil keeps the crawl space humid, which keeps the subfloor damp, which keeps the living space smelling like mildew no matter how many times the carpet is cleaned.
- Lathe-and-plaster walls near the Marietta Square hiding moisture. Older homes close to the Square often have plaster over wood lathe, and standard moisture meters calibrated for drywall give misleading readings on those walls. Plaster cavities trap water where the meter never sees it, and mold grows behind the surface while the wall reads dry. Experienced local crews know to probe deeper and check the plaster keys and base of wall cavities before declaring the structure dry.
- Heavy-duty workshop doors on rural Marietta acreage. Marietta still has genuine acreage properties, especially on the west and north sides, and many of them have oversized carriage-house or workshop doors that standard residential hardware can’t handle. A rebuild that includes replacing or repairing these doors needs heavier springs, reinforced tracks, and a crew that knows the difference. Sending standard residential parts to a 14-foot workshop door is how you snap a spring and leave the building unusable mid-rebuild.
Pricing for Reconstruction & Cleanup in Marietta, GA
Reconstruction pricing in Marietta runs a wide range because the scope varies so much by home. Here’s what we typically see in this market:
- Drywall repair and repainting after water damage: $900-$2,400 per room, depending on ceiling work and texture matching.
- Subfloor repair and floor replacement after a crawl-space flood: $1,800-$4,500 per room, including vapor barrier replacement where needed.
- Full basement reconstruction after a recurring split-level flood: $8,000-$22,000, depending on square footage, framing damage, and whether plumbing or electrical needs correction.
- Contents pack-out, cleaning, and storage during a rebuild: $700-$2,500, depending on volume and how far the items need to travel.
What drives cost in Marietta specifically is the crawl-space factor. Homes with failing vapor barriers and active moisture intrusion cost more to rebuild because the moisture source has to be fixed before drywall goes up, or the new work gets moldy. We give you a written scope and a firm price before work starts. No surprises on the bill. Call (888) 832-2758 for a free estimate.

FAQs - Reconstruction & Cleanup in Marietta
Because the drainage problem wasn’t fixed during the rebuild. Most Whitlock Avenue split-levels were graded into sloped red-clay lots in the 1960s, and decades of clay settlement have reversed the original drainage pitch, so water now runs toward the foundation instead of away from it. Any reconstruction on these lots that doesn’t include regrading, a French drain, or a sump pump is just cleaning up last spring’s flood while you wait for next spring’s. Call (888) 832-2758 and we’ll scope the drainage issue before we hang drywall.
Yes. Our Marietta crews work on rural and acreage properties regularly, including detached workshops and carriage houses with oversized doors that need heavier springs and reinforced tracks. We scope the building’s structure, door hardware, and moisture levels together, so you get one crew doing the whole job instead of a water remediation team and then a separate door company. One visit, done right.
In Marietta’s July heat and humidity, mold can produce visible colonies in 24 to 48 hours after water intrusion in a crawl space. Summer temperatures near 90°F plus sustained high relative humidity and the constantly damp air under a house with a failed vapor barrier create exactly the environment mold needs. That’s why we start drying the same visit we arrive, and why we log moisture readings daily until the dry standard is met.
Yes. Homes near the Marietta Square built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries often have balloon framing and lathe-and-plaster walls, and plaster cavities trap moisture in ways drywall never does. Standard moisture meters give false dry readings, so we use probes and cavity inspection to find water that’s hiding behind the plaster. Then we dry it with professional-grade Dri-Eaz equipment and verify the readings before we rebuild.
Yes. We photo-document every stage of the job, from the initial moisture map to the final trim work, and we coordinate directly with your insurance adjuster. You never play messenger between us and the carrier. That’s standard practice on every Floodline job in Marietta, and it’s part of why homeowners tell us dealing with their carrier was easier than they expected. Call (888) 832-2758 and we’ll handle the paperwork with the reconstruction.
