Burst pipe flooding your kitchen at 2 AM? Our IICRC-certified crew is on-site within 60 minutes anywhere from East Cobb to Kennesaw. We extract standing water, deploy industrial drying equipment, and coordinate directly with your insurance so you’re not stuck making calls while your floors are soaking.
Water damage in Marietta doesn’t wait for business hours, and neither do we. When a pipe bursts in your East Cobb home at midnight or a summer thunderstorm floods your Kennesaw basement, Relief Remediation is the call that gets answered, not a voicemail.
Owner David Cardenas, a veteran and Marietta resident, built this company on one principle: show up fast, do the work right, and be straight with people about what it costs. Every technician on our crew holds IICRC certification and understands the specific challenges Georgia’s climate poses to homes in Cobb County, from the heavy red clay soil around Kennesaw Mountain that traps water against foundations to the 80%+ summer humidity that can trigger mold growth inside walls within 24 hours of a leak, all as part of our full-scope water damage restoration services across Marietta
We handle insurance documentation from the first moisture reading to the final adjuster walk-through. Our equipment includes thermal imaging cameras, industrial dehumidifiers rated for Georgia humidity, and HEPA air scrubbers that find and eliminate moisture in places most homeowners wouldn’t think to check: behind baseboards along Chattahoochee-facing walls, under hardwood flooring in older homes near Marietta Square, and inside crawl spaces where Cobb County’s clay soil holds water for weeks.
From emergency water extraction through final reconstruction, one team handles your entire project. No subcontractors, no handoffs, no surprises on the invoice.
We serve Marietta, East Cobb, West Cobb, Smyrna, Kennesaw, Acworth, Powder Springs, Roswell, Sandy Springs, and every neighborhood across Cobb County. If you’re within 10 miles of Marietta Square, our nearest crew is already close.
Whether it’s an emergency flood, hidden mold behind drywall, or a biohazard situation that needs professional handling, Relief Remediation has the certifications, equipment, and local experience to restore your property safely.
Burst pipes, failed water heaters, storm runoff, flooded basements, we handle every water emergency across Marietta and Cobb County. Georgia’s red clay soil doesn’t absorb water the way sandy soil does, which means heavy rains push water directly against your foundation, especially in low-lying neighborhoods like Shallowford and along the Rottenwood Creek drainage basin near Vinings.
Our crew deploys industrial extractors within the first hour, then sets commercial-grade dehumidifiers calibrated for Georgia’s high ambient humidity. We use infrared cameras to map moisture behind walls and under flooring, where mold can colonize within 24 to 48 hours in our climate. Daily moisture readings confirm your structure is drying on schedule, not just surface-dry.
Cobb County’s humidity regularly exceeds 80% between May and September, and that moisture doesn’t stay outside. Condensation on HVAC ducts, slow leaks under bathroom vanities in older East Cobb homes, and improperly vented crawl spaces all create conditions where mold can take hold quickly.
Our PMII-certified technicians identify the water source first because killing mold without fixing the moisture is temporary. We contain affected areas, remove mold-contaminated items with HEPA filtration running, and treat surfaces with antimicrobial agents to prevent regrowth. Post-remediation air quality testing confirms spore counts are back to safe levels.
Crime scenes, unattended deaths, hoarding situations, and other biohazard events require OSHA HAZWOPER-level training, not a general cleaning crew. Our team is certified to safely handle bloodborne pathogens, chemical contamination, and infectious materials with full PPE protocols.
We approach every scene with discretion and care. Whether it’s a residential property in Indian Hills or a commercial space along Barrett Parkway, we handle cleaning, sanitizing, and odor removal so the property is safe to reoccupy. We also coordinate with law enforcement and property managers when documentation is needed.
Drug lab decontamination in compliance with Georgia state regulations, hoarding cleanup with patient support for families, and fire and smoke damage restoration. Relief Remediation handles the situations other companies won’t touch. Our methamphetamine testing and remediation process follows Georgia EPD guidelines, and every project includes post-remediation clearance testing.
Relief Remediation operates from 25 Powder Springs Street in downtown Marietta, putting our crews within a 15-minute drive of most Cobb County neighborhoods. We know which subdivisions in East Cobb have the oldest plumbing, which areas along Sandy Plains Road sit in flood-prone drainage paths, and where the clay soil composition around Kennesaw Mountain causes the worst foundation seepage after heavy rains.
Every hour water sits in your home, the damage gets worse, and the repair bill goes up. Georgia’s humidity accelerates mold growth faster than drier climates what starts as a wet carpet today becomes a mold remediation project by next week. Don’t wait until the damage multiplies. Call Relief Remediation now.
Why Call Us Right Now:
Our crews are stationed throughout Cobb County, which means we’re typically on-site within 60 minutes of your call, whether you’re in a subdivision off Johnson Ferry, near Barrett Parkway, or closer to downtown Marietta Square. We dispatch the closest available team immediately. That includes 3 AM calls, weekends, and holidays. No waiting until morning.
If it’s safe to reach, shut off the main water supply. Move electronics, documents, and valuables above the water line. Avoid walking through standing water; there’s a risk of electrical shock, and in older Cobb County homes with original plumbing, sewage contamination is possible. Take photos of the damage for your insurance claim. Don’t attempt large-scale cleanup yourself; improper drying in Georgia’s humidity almost always leads to mold.
Most Georgia homeowner’s policies cover sudden water damage from burst pipes, failed appliances, and storm events. We handle insurance coordination from day one, documenting damage with photos, daily moisture logs, and thermal imaging reports that adjusters need to process your claim. Our customers consistently tell us we made the insurance process significantly less stressful.
Georgia’s average humidity sits between 70–85%, which means mold can begin colonizing wet drywall and framing in as little as 24 hours, faster than in drier states. We extract water immediately, then deploy industrial dehumidifiers and air movers sized for Georgia’s moisture load. The difference: we don’t guess. Our technicians take daily moisture readings with calibrated meters, checking walls, subfloors, and hidden cavities until every reading meets IICRC dry standards. That’s how we prevent the secondary mold damage that costs homeowners thousands.
Yes. We service offices, retail spaces, restaurants, medical facilities, and multi-unit properties across the Marietta and Cobb County area, including commercial corridors along Cobb Parkway, Barrett Parkway, and Roswell Road. We understand that downtime costs money, which is why we prioritize fast extraction and accelerated drying schedules for commercial jobs. Call 770-741-0183 for a same-day assessment.
In most cases, yes, if you act quickly. The faster we begin extraction and drying, the more materials we can save. Structural framing and drywall typically dry well when treated within the first 12–24 hours. Carpet padding, saturated insulation, and particle board usually need replacing. We assess everything on-site and give you an honest breakdown of what’s salvageable versus what needs to go, no upselling, no unnecessary demolition.
It’s one of the most common issues we see in homes in Cobb County. If drywall stays damp for more than 24–48 hours in Georgia’s humid conditions, mold will start growing on the paper facing, often behind the paint, where you can’t see it. Fast, thorough drying is the only reliable way to prevent. The longer wet drywall sits, the higher the chance you’ll need a full mold remediation in addition to the water damage repair.
Almost always. Professional restoration typically costs a fraction of what full replacement runs, especially when you factor in the mold remediation bill that follows DIY drying attempts in Georgia’s climate. Most homeowner’s insurance covers restoration work, so your out-of-pocket is often just the deductible. The real cost comes from waiting: every day water sits in your structure, the scope of damage grows and so does the repair bill.
