Sixes is the unincorporated community in western Cherokee County about three miles west of Holly Springs, along Sixes Road between Interstate 575 and the eastern shore of Lake Allatoona. The name comes either from Fort Hinar Sixes on the Trail of Tears or from a Cherokee village called Sutali, meaning six. The Sixes Mill was built around 1820 by gold prospectors and rebuilt near 1880, and it still stands along the road. The Sixes Gold Mine worked the Georgia Gold Belt here through the 1800s.
Today the gold-belt hills hold large subdivisions built from the late 1990s onward, BridgeMill among them, on sloped lots with daylight basements and vented crawl spaces facing the lake.
Homeowners in Sixes who call this number are put through to an independent local water damage provider. The provider meters the house before any wall opens.
A basement that seeped along the uphill wall after a storm is basement flooding cleanup. A crawl space on the low side of a lake-view lot with water pooled at the downhill wall is crawl space water extraction. A ceiling stained under an upstairs bath is ceiling water damage.
SORBA Woodstock maintains the Blankets Creek mountain bike trails off Sixes Road on Corps of Engineers land beside the lake, and its trail closures after rain are a fair gauge of how wet the clay is under the subdivisions across the road. Sixes is unincorporated, so a rebuild is permitted at the Cherokee County desk in Canton.
Call (770) 697-0510 and say what is wet. We reach an independent local water damage provider serving Sixes.
Rain that came through a daylight basement wall or a failed pit pumped out, then the carpet, pad, and lower drywall metered before anything is pulled.
Standing water pulled off tile, hardwood, and carpet with truck-mounted or portable extractors, followed by the first moisture map of the house.
Air movers and dehumidifiers set by the readings, then checked daily until subfloor, studs, and drywall reach their dry target in Georgia humidity.
Creek or storm water that entered the house removed, contaminated materials bagged out, and the rooms cleaned and dried on a plan.
Water pumped from under a vented crawl space, wet insulation removed, and joists and subfloor dried before the floor above goes soft.
A stained or sagging ceiling under an upstairs bath, laundry, or roof leak opened where the readings say, dried, and prepared for repair.
A burst hose or overflow in an upstairs laundry traced through the floor, extracted, and dried in the laundry room and the room beneath it.
Cupped or crowned hardwood dried with floor mats and readings taken from below before anyone decides the boards have to come up.
