Why Mableton homes take on water
Mableton gets its water from the Cobb County Water System, so street-side breaks go to the county's dispatch line. The Nickajack Creek gauge at Mableton went far over flood stage in 2009.
Nickajack Creek
In the September 2009 floods, the Nickajack Creek gauge at Mableton crested at 19.85 feet against a 10-foot flood stage and stayed high for about two days. Creek water is overland flooding, which a standard homeowners policy does not cover. National Weather Service, Epic Floods of 2009
County water
Cobb County Water System distributes water to Mableton along with unincorporated Cobb, Acworth, Kennesaw, and Powder Springs. For a broken line or sewer backup at the street, the county's emergency dispatch is the call. Cobb County Water System
Sudden leaks like a burst pipe are usually covered by a standard Georgia homeowners policy. Sump pump and sewer backups need a water backup endorsement, and flooding from outside needs separate flood insurance.
Every job is measured on site, so nobody can give an honest price over the phone. Nationally, Angi puts the average at about $3,800, which is not a quote or a Mableton price.
My Mableton house is near Nickajack Creek. Do I need flood insurance?
If the creek ever reaches your house, only a flood policy pays for it. A standard homeowners policy excludes overland flooding. National Flood Insurance Program policies usually take 30 days to start, so it is worth looking at before storm season. Check your flood zone with Cobb County's floodplain search.
