Woodstock's creeks and basements

Woodstock is a fast-growing Cherokee County city about 25 miles from Atlanta, with a depot-era downtown and a greenway trail network along its creeks. The Little River, Noonday Creek and Kellogg Creek run through the area. In the September 2009 floods, the NWS listed the Little River at Woodstock cresting at 20.80 feet against an 11-foot flood stage and Noonday Creek at 19.66 feet against a 10-foot flood stage on September 21. Cherokee County was then one of four counties designated for FEMA Individual Assistance. Homes on low ground near those creeks have the most direct flood exposure. Across town, the common causes are storm runoff soaking the clay around foundations, gutters dumping water at the wall, and humid summer air condensing in closed basements.

Which approach fits?

Situation	What usually fits
Small spots on bare concrete	Homeowner cleaning, then fix the moisture
Mold on finished drywall or paneling	Professional removal with containment
Basement took on creek or storm water	Remove soaked materials, dry fully, then rebuild
Recurring summer mildew	Dehumidification and airflow
Seepage on one wall after rain	Gutter, grading or drainage work

EPA says homeowners can usually clean areas under about 10 square feet. Above that, or anywhere drywall, insulation or carpet is involved, containment and removal by a remediation company is the safer path. Whatever the approach, the water source has to be fixed, or the mold comes back on new materials.
