Why Wade’s Restoration of Atlanta Is Loganville’s Preferred Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Company
Wade’s Restoration is not a franchise. Wade Ferris started this company in 2007, and he still shows up on jobs in Loganville himself. Ask anyone off US-78 or down by the Gwinnett County line. They know the name, and more importantly, they see him at the hardware store on Saturdays. That is the accountability you get when the owner’s name is on the truck and his license number is published for anyone to check.
Our Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration team works from the Atlanta office but treats Loganville as home turf. We have handled fires in 2004 tract homes off Highway 20, townhome clusters near the high school, and older ranches off Main Street. The response time to Loganville is typically under ninety minutes from the first call, because Wade keeps crews staged along the US-78 corridor, not sitting in a call center queue.
Every Loganville job gets the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the smoke odor comes back or the soot lines reappear, Wade makes it right. No argument. No voicemail tag. One call brings him back.
Our Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Services in Loganville
Fire damage in Loganville homes does not stop when the flames are out. Soot keeps working its way into porous surfaces, smoke odor settles into insulation and ductwork, and the water used to put the fire out starts doing its own damage. Here is what we handle most in the 30052 area.
Fire Damage Cleanup
We remove charred materials, clear out the debris, and assess what can be saved versus what got structurally compromised. In Loganville’s 1990s and 2000s subdivision homes, that often means pulling builder-grade drywall and insulation that soaked up smoke faster than newer, denser materials would have. We run HEPA filtration throughout cleanup so your family is not breathing in what the fire left behind.
Smoke & Soot Removal
Soot from a kitchen fire in an open floor plan travels fast. We see it all the time in Loganville tract homes where the great room, dining area, and kitchen flow together with no walls to slow the smoke. We clean every surface, including the places you will not check: behind outlet covers, inside light fixtures, on top of ceiling fan blades. Then we seal to keep the soot from bleeding back through new paint.
Odor Removal & Deodorization
Smoke odor is stubborn, especially in crawl spaces and closets. In Loganville homes built on crawl space foundations, smoke gets pulled down into the vented space and hangs around in the fiberglass insulation and floor joists. We use hydroxyl generators and thermal fogging to neutralize the odor at the source, not just cover it with fragrance. That matters in older tract homes where the HVAC return runs through the crawl space.
Contents Cleaning & Pack-Out
Furniture, clothing, electronics, keepsakes, photos. We pack out what can be saved, clean and deodorize it at our facility, and bring it back. In tight Loganville townhomes and alley-load subdivisions, there is nowhere to stage a pile of smoky belongings, so a structured pack-out keeps the job moving without turning your driveway into a salvage yard. We document every item with photos before anything leaves the house.

Trusted Brands We Service in Loganville
We run professional-grade equipment from Phoenix, XPOWER, and B-Air on Loganville jobs because these machines hold consistent airflow in tight clearances, which is exactly what the older subdivision homes here demand. We do not stock local parts like you would at a supply counter, but we keep common filters, HEPA cartridges, and containment materials on our trucks so a Loganville job does not stall waiting on a warehouse run. That means faster dry-out and faster cleanup, especially when the damage is in a side entry with barely three feet of clearance to the neighbor’s fence line.
Common Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Problems We See in Loganville Homes
- Smoke infiltration into crawl spaces. Homes along US-78 and the Gwinnett County line sit on vented crawl spaces. Smoke and soot get pulled into that low space and lodge in insulation and floor joists. If you do not treat it, the odor reactivates every time the humidity climbs in a Walton County summer.
- Tight clearances make containment difficult. Many 2000s-era subdivisions in Loganville were built with alley-load garages and side entries squeezed close to property lines. Standard containment setups simply do not fit without careful planning, and crews unfamiliar with these layouts waste hours.
- Reversed lot grading from settled Georgia clay. After a fire, suppression water pools against foundation walls instead of draining away. That water re-enters the crawl space and reactivates smoke odor or spawns mold behind vinyl siding. We check the grade on every Loganville job, because it is almost always wrong after fifteen or twenty years of clay settlement.
- Builder-grade materials fail together. Vinyl siding installed without proper moisture barriers, OSB sheathing that traps moisture, and window seals that failed years ago all respond differently to fire and smoke. A one-size-fits-all restoration approach leaves hidden damage that shows up months later, when the adjuster has closed the file.
Pricing for Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Loganville, GA
- Emergency board-up and tarping: $400 to $1,200, higher for a townhome with alley access or a two-story elevation.
- Soot and smoke removal (interior surfaces): $1,500 to $4,500 for a typical 2,000 to 3,000 square foot Loganville home.
- Odor removal and deodorization: $600 to $1,800, depending on whether we are treating the crawl space and ductwork too.
- Contents cleaning and pack-out: $1,000 to $5,000, driven by how much gets packed out and how delicate the items are.
- Structural fire repair (framing, drywall, siding): $3,000 to $15,000, and this is where matching early-2000s builder-grade vinyl siding in Loganville costs more than you might expect.

FAQs - Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Loganville
Homes built in Loganville between the late 1990s and 2010s were framed fast with builder-grade materials that respond differently to fire and smoke than newer or custom builds. Vinyl siding without proper moisture barriers traps water behind it after suppression efforts, OSB sheathing wicks smoke into the wall cavity, and the crawl space framing tends to be lighter lumber that chars faster under heat. We treat every one of those materials specifically, because a generic approach leaves hidden damage that resurfaces as odor or rot months after the claim closes. Call (888) 690-3757 and Wade will walk you through what your home’s era means for the restoration scope.
Smoke odor in a crawl space requires pulling out the affected insulation, treating the floor joists with a deodorizing agent, and running air scrubbers in the space to get the airborne particles out. Do not just spray a deodorizer and close the access door. In Loganville’s humid climate, the odor reactivates within weeks if the source is not removed. Wade’s crew will take moisture readings daily and hand you the full log at the end of the job, because the crawl space is where most restoration companies cut corners. Call (888) 690-3757 for a free crawl space assessment.
We can typically have a board-up crew on site in Loganville within 90 minutes, and Wade himself often walks the property first to see the clearance situation. In the alley-load subdivisions off US-78, standard plywood sheets do not always fit between the garage and the neighboring fence, so we cut and stage panels before we arrive. That saves hours and keeps your home secure the same night the fire trucks leave. Call (888) 690-3757 and we will head your way.
Yes, most homeowner policies in Walton County cover smoke and soot removal as part of the fire damage claim, and the coverage typically extends to contents cleaning, pack-out, and odor remediation. The challenge is documentation. If the adjuster cannot see the full extent of the soot, they will not write the full scope. Wade deals with the adjuster directly and provides photo documentation of every surface, including the crawl space and ductwork, so the claim reflects what actually needs to be done. Call (888) 690-3757 and Wade will help you file it right.
Yes, furniture, electronics, clothing, documents, and keepsakes can often be saved if they are treated quickly, and we pack out and clean contents at our facility rather than inside your townhome. In a tight Loganville townhome with no garage staging space, that is the only way to do it properly. Smoke and soot keep eating into electronics and finishes the longer they sit. We document everything before it leaves, and we coordinate with your insurance so the contents claim stays clean.
