Questions, answered briefly
What happens after I call, and what if I rent?
A water damage contractor who works Carrollton, Villa Rica and Whitesburg picks up. Give the street, the wet room and what happened. Renters can read the lease to see who is told first. Owners can call (678) 270-2458 when ready.
Where does my wet house land on a 1-to-10 score?
The score runs in three bands. At 1 to 3, a small spill can be dried, photographed and watched. At 4 to 7, water is spreading in a room that is still safe, which is the time to call (678) 270-2458 and name the room. At 8 to 10, there is water near wiring, a sagging ceiling, sewage or a gas odor, and the move is to get out and dial 911 or the utility.
Which photos help before anything is moved?
The state insurance commissioner's office puts pictures first: photos or video of the damage, taken before any temporary repair. Next come receipts for those repairs, a pause on permanent work until the insurer has looked, and damaged items saved for the adjuster. What a policy pays depends on the policy.

Where Carrollton's tap water starts
The city says it draws its water from the Little Tallapoosa River. Its water page names three lakes tied to that river. The river runs through Lake Buckhorn, Sharp Creek Reservoir flows into it, and Lake Carroll reaches it by way of Curtis Creek.
A leak in a house wastes that same water. On the EPA's page for its leak-awareness week, an average home's leaks add up to more than 9,300 gallons a year, and the city's utility page walks through a short meter test. The water plant's number is 770-830-2021.
