Before you call: what a restoration crew does first
Shared walls and ceilings: Newnan homes by building type
39%[2] of Newnan's homes share walls, floors or ceilings with a neighbour (multi-unit buildings alone: 33%, the 7th-lowest multi-unit share of the 15 Atlanta-area suburbs we cover). Water crosses those lines: in an attached or stacked unit, tell the neighbour and the association or landlord right away, and check whose policy covers which part of the damage.
After detached houses, the biggest group is 10–19 units: 2,005 of 18,160 housing units[2].

|---|---|---|---|
| Detached house | 11,155 | 61.4% | ±602 |
| Attached house (townhouse, rowhouse) | 1,040 | 5.7% | ±396 |
