24/7 Emergency Water Extraction in Rome, GA. Rome sits at the confluence of three rivers — we know this city's flood risks better than anyone.
Rome is built at the confluence of the Oostanaula and Etowah rivers, which merge to form the Coosa River right in the heart of the city. This geography makes Rome one of the most flood-prone cities in Northwest Georgia. We've responded to river flooding events, storm surge damage, and the chronic moisture problems that come with living near three major waterways.
We reach Rome from our Bremen headquarters in approximately 55–60 minutes via Hwy 411 or Hwy 27. Historic neighborhoods near the Broad Street riverfront and East Rome's lower-elevation areas are our most frequent call zones — but we serve all of Floyd County.
Understanding local risks is the first step to protecting your home.
Rome's location at the confluence of two major rivers means significant flood events occur multiple times per decade. The Broad Street riverfront and East Rome neighborhoods are in FEMA-designated flood zones.
Rome's historic downtown and adjacent neighborhoods contain structures dating to the 1800s. These buildings have aging foundations, brick construction, and drainage systems that were never designed for modern rainfall intensity.
East Rome sits at lower elevation than the rest of the city, making it particularly vulnerable to both river flooding and stormwater accumulation during heavy rain events.
The area around Berry College and Georgia Highlands College sees significant runoff from the surrounding hills during heavy storms, affecting residential neighborhoods on the city's northwest side.
After the Oostanaula River crested during a sustained spring rain event, an East Rome homeowner called us with 14 inches of water in their ground floor. We arrived in 58 minutes, deployed two extraction units simultaneously, and began the drying process within the hour. Given the Category 2 water classification from river contact, we also performed full antimicrobial treatment on all affected surfaces. The home was fully restored within 10 days.

River flooding in Rome can bring Category 2 or Category 3 water — not just clean water from a pipe. We're equipped for all contamination levels, with truck-mounted extractors and proper PPE for every scenario.
Rome's historic homes with plaster walls, hardwood floors, and brick construction require specialized drying protocols. We use thermal imaging and moisture meters to find hidden water and dry everything to safe levels.
Chronic moisture from Rome's river proximity creates persistent mold pressure in crawl spaces and basements. We remediate existing growth and apply EPA-registered treatments to break the cycle.
River flooding often overwhelms Rome's sewer system, causing backups in low-lying neighborhoods. We handle full Category 3 contamination cleanup with proper containment, disposal, and antimicrobial treatment.
"We've dealt with river flooding before and had bad experiences with restoration companies. Remco was different — they knew exactly what to do with river water contamination and didn't cut corners. Our home is better than before."
