What Puts Dunwoody Properties at Risk

Fifty-year-old plumbing, basements under big trees, stacked living in Perimeter Center and a creek that runs through the middle: Dunwoody’s losses follow its map.

1. 1960s–80s homes and aging plumbing

   Georgetown, Dunwoody North and the Mount Vernon subdivisions are 45 to 60 years old. Original cast-iron drains crack and back up, galvanized lines corrode from the inside, and the late-’70s and ’80s houses often have polybutylene supply pipe that fails behind the walls. Water heaters in basements and attics add to it. See water damage repair.

2. Finished basements and the tree canopy

   Dunwoody is famous for its trees, and most of its homes sit on basements or crawl spaces under them. Roots crush drain lines, clogged gutters and poor grading send storm water into finished lower levels, and spring storms drop limbs and whole oaks on roofs — the April 1998 tornado tore through these same neighborhoods. See basement flooding cleanup and storm damage.

3. Perimeter Center high-rises, hotels and offices

   Condo towers, apartment communities, hotels and some of the largest office buildings in metro Atlanta line Ashford-Dunwoody and Perimeter Center Parkway. A failed supply line or sprinkler head on one floor is a loss on several, and every one of them has to be documented separately. See multifamily & commercial restoration.

4. Nancy Creek and the low lots

   Nancy Creek and its tributaries wind through the subdivisions between Chamblee-Dunwoody Road and Peachtree Industrial. Creek-side lots, crawl spaces and lower levels get wet after heavy rain, and wet stays wet under a canopy — which is where mold starts. See water removal and mold remediation.

A Few Things About Dunwoody

• A typo made permanent

  The city is named for Major Charles Dunwody. The second “o” came from a misspelling on a bank note, and it stuck.

• Teddy Roosevelt stopped here

  The Roswell Railroad ran through Dunwoody from 1881 to 1921, and President Theodore Roosevelt made a whistle stop in 1905.

• A young city, an old town

  Dunwoody settled in the 1830s, but it only became a city on December 1, 2008, after a three-year cityhood campaign.

• The Perimeter

  Perimeter Mall and Dunwoody Village both opened in 1971. Perimeter Center is now one of metro Atlanta’s largest job centers, and the 34-story Ravinia 3 is the tallest building in DeKalb County.

• April 8, 1998

  A tornado tore across Dunwoody that night, one of the most damaging storms in the city’s history — the reason so many residents still take tree work and storm prep seriously.

• The Farmhouse

  The 1906 Cheek-Spruill farmhouse at Chamblee-Dunwoody and Mount Vernon roads is the city’s unofficial emblem, saved from demolition by residents and now on the National Register of Historic Places.
