Water damage calls in Braselton
Braselton has grown fast. Its population went from about 7,500 in 2010 to about 13,400 at the 2020 census. The town crosses four county lines (Barrow, Gwinnett, Hall and Jackson) and is home to Chateau Elan and the Road Atlanta race track.
Most of Braselton's housing is newer, which shapes the kinds of calls that come in. Large subdivisions have slab foundations or finished basements, two-story layouts with upstairs laundry rooms, and water heaters in garages and attics. When a washer hose splits on the second floor or an attic water heater gives out, the water comes down through the ceiling and soaks drywall, insulation and flooring below. Slab leaks can stay hidden under carpet or hardwood until the floor starts to cup.
Newer construction does not mean fewer storms. Severe thunderstorms roll through from spring into fall, and heavy rain overwhelms gutters and floods low spots on new lots where the grading has not settled. A winter freeze can split water lines in garages and along exterior walls, even in homes only a few years old.
Older homes near the historic downtown have their own issues, including crawl spaces on red clay that stay damp after a long rain.
Whatever happened, the crew you reach will stop the water, extract it, check moisture with meters and dry the house before mold starts. Braselton addresses use the 30517 ZIP code.
