Junk Removal in Austell, GA

Austell specifically

Austell sits in southwest Cobb on Sweetwater Creek, with older established neighborhoods and industrial frontage.

Two things shape almost every property here, and the first is Clarkdale. The thread company built the village in the 1930s and the houses are small bungalows on narrow lots, with a crawlspace underneath and a shed or a wash house behind rather than a basement and a garage. The second is water. Sweetwater Creek came up over the low streets in September 2009, several hundred houses took major damage, and the buyouts that followed left open lots scattered through those blocks. On a rebuilt house you can still see the line. Everything below it was redone afterward and everything above it never moved, which is the part people forget to mention when they describe a job to us.

Getting a trailer in

Bungalow lots are narrow with drives to match, and plenty of those drives run past the house to a back building instead of stopping at a carport. On the low ground the soil holds water longer than you would expect after rain, which matters when a loaded trailer has to get back out again.

Turnaround: scheduled ahead, and usually worth combining into one full load. Rome to Austell is about 52 miles by road.

What shapes a job in Austell

A bungalow with a crawlspace and a back building is a harder afternoon than a modern house with a garage, because nothing is already gathered in one place. The crawlspace holds what got pushed under it. The back building holds tools and lumber. The attic holds whatever survived 2009 by being upstairs. Add the fact that anything off the low ground may still be damp and therefore heavier than it looks, and one truckload becomes four before the weekend is done.

Questions from Austell

Can you take what is left in an attic that never got cleared after the flood?

Yes, and ask about it on its own. When a ground floor gets rebuilt the attic normally gets skipped, so what is up there is older than everything below it and it all comes down a pull-down stair one armful at a time. Tell us roughly how full it is, because those stairs drive the hours more than the volume does.

There is a vacant lot next door where a house used to be. Does that help?

Not in any way you can use. Those lots came out of the buyout program and they are not yours to stage on, empty or not. We load off your own frontage or off the street, which works on nearly all of these blocks.

How soon can you get to Austell?

Scheduled ahead, and usually worth combining into one full load. At about 52 road miles Austell sits at the edge of what we cover, so the more notice you give us the better.
