Roswell and nearby
Areas served
Call from anywhere in Roswell, from the river up to Crabapple. The towns around it are covered too, and each has its own rules about storm drains, creeks and digging.
You talk with an independent local waterproofing company. Roswell Crawl Space is a referral service and does none of the work itself.
Towns with their own page
Each page sets out what is different for a homeowner there. None repeats the service pages.
Alpharetta
Where to report a street drain that overflows, and what a creek that rises fast means for a drain outlet.
Milton
Most homes without a sewer bill are on septic, which decides where a drain, a trench or a pump outlet can go.
Johns Creek
Backyard drainage is the owner's to fix, the city wants a call before flow paths change, and streams carry a 50-foot buffer.
Sandy Springs
A 75-foot stream buffer and a river corridor limit outdoor work. The city's map shows whether your lot is affected.
East Cobb
County rules apply: the drainage easement on your lot is yours to keep open, and erosion below a county pipe can be assessed.
Also within reach
You can call from Woodstock, from Dunwoody and from the Marietta side of Cobb County as well.
If your town is not named, call anyway and give your address. You will find out straight away whether a company can come to you.
One state, several rulebooks
Georgia's contractor licensing and its 811 dig law are the same everywhere. What changes at each city limit is who maintains the storm drains, how wide the stream buffers are and which office issues permits. For Roswell itself, start with the Roswell flood zone and drainage guide.
