Water Damage Restoration in Home Park

What we see in Home Park

Home Park is early-century housing — 1900s–1930s cottages and bungalows — that has functioned largely as Georgia Tech student rental stock for decades. That single fact explains most of our work here. A twenty-year-old with four roommates and a lease ending in May is not calling a landlord about a slow drip under the sink. They put a bowl under it.

So Home Park losses get discovered late, and they get discovered by someone other than the person living there — a landlord doing a turn, a neighbor seeing water, a new tenant smelling something in August. By then the cabinet base is gone, the subfloor is soft, and there's growth in the wall. The repair is five times what it would have been in October when the drip started.

The housing itself compounds it: a hundred years old, heavily subdivided into multi-bedroom rentals, with plumbing modified repeatedly to add bathrooms nobody planned for. Add absentee ownership and cheap deferred maintenance and you get a stock where the systems are old, the modifications are questionable, and the occupants have no incentive to report anything. Summer turnover season is our busiest window here, because that's when everything hidden gets found at once.

The other Home Park factor is density of occupancy. A three-bedroom cottage built for a family of four is now housing five or six people, which means the plumbing is running at several times the load it was designed for, every day, for decades. Fixtures that would last thirty years in a normal house fail in eight here. It's not abuse, it's arithmetic, and it means the failure rate in this neighborhood is genuinely higher than the housing age alone predicts.

The failures that bring us here

• Unreported slow leaks in student-occupied rentals
• Damage discovered at turnover, months after it started
• Repeatedly modified plumbing from bathroom additions
• Absentee ownership and deferred maintenance
• Cabinet base and subfloor rot as first visible symptom
