Water risk on a century-old golf-course property
The 1910-era estate homes built around Brookhaven's golf course have had more than a century to accumulate roof, gutter, and grading wear, and metro Atlanta's broader flood record — including the September 2009 event that pushed Peachtree Creek to a 23-foot crest — shows how fast aging drainage systems in this part of the metro can be overwhelmed.

A storm response on one of these century-old Brookhaven properties usually has to work around original masonry and grading designed for 1910s-era rainfall expectations, not the storm volumes the area sees today.
