Keep Your Home Dry & Structurally Sound
Keep Storm Season Outside with Waterproofing Services in Mableton, GA
South Cobb catches weather from every direction. Spring fronts stall over the county and soak the ground for days, summer afternoons bring thunderstorms that can drop an inch of rain in an hour, and the creeks winding toward the Chattahoochee carry all of it right past local backyards. When that water settles into red clay, it starts pressing on foundations. APS Waterproofing stops it before it gets inside. We are locally owned, and every inspection is free.
Homeowners call us for crawlspace waterproofing, crawlspace encapsulation, basement waterproofing, and exterior drainage. From a 1960s brick ranch off Clay Road to a brand-new townhome near Floyd Road, we build each system around the house and the lot it sits on. Looking for waterproofing services in Mableton, GA that actually fit your home? Request a free inspection and we will show you exactly what is happening under your floor.
The Crew Behind the Work in South Cobb
Michael Adams launched APS Waterproofing after years installing systems for one of Atlanta's biggest waterproofing companies. He watched how high-volume operations diagnosed moisture problems and decided he could do better with a tighter crew, honest assessments, and no quotas to hit. That is still the model today.
We are licensed, insured, and based a short drive up the road in the Kennesaw area, which puts Mableton squarely inside our everyday service radius. Homeowners across Metro Atlanta and North Georgia have left us 105 reviews, and every single one is five stars.
You will not meet a commissioned salesperson at your inspection. The same people who evaluate your home also design the system and install it, and that accountability is a big reason the work lasts.

Moisture Solutions Shaped by South Cobb Creeks and Clay
Crawlspace waterproofing under the area's postwar ranches
The brick ranches built through the 1950s and 60s around Church Street and the Mable House corridor almost all rest on vented crawlspaces, which means every wet season sends moisture straight under the living room. Our crawlspace waterproofing pairs floor-level drainage channels with a sump basin and a heavy vapor barrier over the exposed soil, so groundwater exits before it can soak insulation or floor joists.
Encapsulation where creek-bottom humidity lingers
Lots near Nickajack Creek and the low ground along the Silver Comet Trail hold humidity long after the rain stops. Crawlspace encapsulation closes that environment off completely: sealed vents, a reinforced liner across the walls and floor, and a dehumidifier sized to the space. The payoff arrives quickly as cleaner air upstairs, lower cooling bills, and a crawlspace dry enough to use for storage.
Basement waterproofing for the new construction wave
Mableton is adding townhomes and subdivisions faster than almost anywhere in Cobb County, and plenty of those new builds include finished lower levels. New construction is not immune to water. Graded lots settle within a few years, and builder-installed drainage is often minimal. Our basement waterproofing adds an interior perimeter drain, a correctly rated sump pump, and wall protection that routes seepage down and out instead of into the drywall.
Exterior drainage for lots that shed water toward the creeks
Much of this side of the county slopes toward Nickajack or Sweetwater Creek, so runoff crosses residential yards on its way downhill. We intercept it with gravel trench drains, surface inlets at the low spots, and downspout extensions that discharge well beyond the foundation. Where decades of settling have tilted the grade toward the house, we rebuild the slope with exterior drainage improvements that reverse it.
Sump pumps ready for the region's worst storms
Long-time residents remember September 2009, when historic flooding swamped parts of South Cobb and neighboring Austell. A sump pump only helps if it can keep pace with that kind of event, so we calculate capacity from your foundation footprint, the water table on your street, and the runoff your lot collects, then install a unit with headroom to spare.

What a Full Year of Georgia Weather Does to a Foundation Here
Each season takes its own swing. Spring saturates the clay with back-to-back rain systems. Summer layers daily humidity on top of sudden thunderstorms. Fall can pull tropical remnants across North Georgia, and winter's slow soaking rains keep the ground wet for weeks at a time. Red clay swells through every one of those cycles and presses against crawlspace and basement walls until water finds a gap.
The right waterproofing system helps you :
- Shut down mold and mildew at the source
- Take clay-swell pressure off foundation walls
- Keep indoor air drier and healthier
- Head off five-figure structural repairs down the road
- Protect resale value in a fast-growing market

Home Styles Around Town That Collect Moisture
Older ranches and split-levels near Veterans Memorial Highway typically sit over vented crawlspaces that pull in humid air all summer. Newer townhomes off Floyd Road and the larger homes up in Vinings Estates trend toward slabs, sealed crawlspaces, and finished basements, and each of those still needs humidity control and drainage management to stay dry.Choose a Team That Diagnoses Before It Sells
- Diagnosis comes first. We map the full water path across your lot, from roofline to foundation, before recommending anything.
- Right-sized systems. A townhome slab and a 1960s crawlspace need completely different fixes, and we build accordingly.
