Lost Mountain is the unincorporated west Cobb community around the 1,516-foot hill of the same name, where Dallas Highway meets Lost Mountain Road southwest of Kennesaw. The Lost Mountain Store has stood at that crossroads since 1881, and the post office ran there from 1848 to 1902, but nearly everything else is recent: about 73,000 people live in the subdivisions that spread across the old farmland from the 1990s on, and in 2022 they voted down a proposal to incorporate as a city. The houses are large two-stories on crawl spaces and basements, often on half-acre and acre lots, with a share still on private wells and septic.
Bigger lots mean longer driveways and more yard between the street and the house, and on clay that is more runoff arriving at the foundation with every storm.
This site connects Lost Mountain homeowners with an independent local water damage provider by phone. The scope is written after the provider has walked the house.
A daylight basement that seeped along the uphill wall after a July thunderstorm is basement flooding cleanup. A crawl space under a 1998 two-story that took runoff off a long sloped yard is crawl space water extraction, and the crew asks whether the house is on a well, because the shutoff is a breaker rather than a valve. A tank that let go in a basement corner is water heater leak cleanup.
Because Lost Mountain never incorporated, a rebuild goes through Cobb County Community Development, which handles permits and inspections for the unincorporated county. Lost Mountain Park on Dallas Highway is the community's ball fields and its landmark.

Standing water pulled off a finished floor, a slab garage, or a lower level, then meter readings to show which rooms it reached.
Air movers and dehumidifiers set by the readings, running through a humid Georgia week until framing, subfloor, and drywall hit their targets.
Water pumped from under a Kennesaw house after clay runoff or a plumbing leak, then joists, insulation, and vapor barrier dealt with.
A finished or daylight basement that took on rain or a failed line, pumped out and dried behind the drywall and under the carpet pad.
The rooms a split supply line soaked, from a hard-freeze night to a failed fitting in the attic, pumped and dried once the valve is closed.
Attic insulation, ceilings, and walls dried after a summer thunderstorm or a tropical storm sent rain through the roof.
Cleanup after a basement pit overflowed in a power outage or a stuck float, with the wall system and flooring dried, not just the puddle.
A tank that failed in a garage, a basement corner, or a second-floor closet, and the flooring and ceiling below it dried out.
