What Puts Doraville Properties at Risk

Seventy-year-old plumbing, dense apartment living, busy commercial kitchens and a creek that runs through the middle of town: Doraville’s losses follow its map.

1. Postwar homes and original plumbing

   Northwoods, Oakcliff and Tilly Mill went up in the late 1940s through the ’60s. Where galvanized supply lines, cast-iron drains and the original water heater are still in service, slow leaks behind walls, slab leaks and sewer backups follow — and crawl spaces hold moisture all summer. See water damage repair and mold remediation.

2. Apartment and condo communities

   Doraville has one of the highest shares of renters and multifamily housing in north DeKalb, much of it in older garden-style complexes along Buford Highway and Peachtree Industrial. A failed washer line or water heater upstairs is a loss on every floor below. We work unit by unit and within management requirements — see multifamily & commercial restoration.

3. Restaurant kitchens, warehouses and studios

   Buford Highway and Peachtree Industrial carry hundreds of restaurants, plus warehouses, distribution and light industry. Kitchen fires, smoke that travels through shared strip-center attics, and sprinkler discharges in big open buildings all need a fast, documented commercial response. See fire & smoke damage and smoke damage restoration.

4. Crooked Creek, slabs and storm runoff

   Crooked Creek, a tributary of the Chattahoochee, runs right through the city, and many postwar homes sit on slabs or shallow crawl spaces with little grade away from the house. Heavy rain means wet floors, wet ductwork and parking-level units under water — and the neighborhood oaks come down in spring storms. See flooding cleanup and storm damage.

A Few Things About Doraville

• Older than you’d think

  Doraville was incorporated by the Georgia General Assembly on December 15, 1871 — a railroad-stop farm town for its first 75 years.

• The GM boom

  General Motors opened its Doraville assembly plant after World War II, and the town grew from 472 people in 1950 to 6,160 by 1964. The plant closed in 2008.

• Assembly

  The old plant site is now Assembly, a film and television studio campus and mixed-use district that is becoming one of the largest production studios in Georgia.

• A city with a song

  The Atlanta Rhythm Section formed here at Studio One. Their 1974 single “Doraville” reached No. 35 on the Billboard charts.

• International Doraville

  Since the 1980s, immigrant-owned businesses on Buford Highway have made Doraville and Chamblee home to one of the largest Asian communities in the country; 56% of residents speak a language other than English at home.

• End of the line

  Doraville MARTA station opened in 1992 as the northeastern end of the Gold Line — on the site of the city’s original downtown.
