Why Smyrna homes take on water
Smyrna runs its own water and sewer system, so the first call for a break at the street goes to the city, not the county. Water on your side of the meter is where a restoration company comes in.
A city system with a lot of pipe
The City of Smyrna says its water and sewer crew maintains about 250 miles of water lines and 140 miles of sewer lines. Breaks and backups on the public side are the city's to fix; anything inside the house is yours to dry out. City of Smyrna Water and Sewer
Record rain from tropical storms
When Helene's rain crossed metro Atlanta on September 26, 2024, the Atlanta airport recorded 4.32 inches in a day, a record for the date. Clogged gutters and low window wells are where that water finds a way in. National Weather Service
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 Smyrna price.
The City of Smyrna. Its water and sewer page lists (770) 434-6666 for after-hours water and sewer emergencies and 770-431-2850 for non-emergency requests during business hours. If water is coming into the house, shut off your main valve too, then call us for the cleanup.
Is a sewer backup in my Smyrna house covered by insurance?
Not by a basic homeowners policy. Backups through a drain or toilet are usually covered only if you added a water backup endorsement. Check your declarations page, take photos before anything is cleaned up, and report the backup to the city if it started on the public line.
