Fast, Reliable Reconstruction & Cleanup Across Carrollton
Reconstruction and cleanup in Carrollton after a storm, a pipe break, or a long-neglected roof leak usually needs two things: a crew that arrives before the damage spreads, and someone who understands what west Georgia water actually does to a house. Wade Ferris has been running Reconstruction & Cleanup jobs across Carroll County since 2007, and he answers his own phone. If a tornado tore through 30116 last night or a crawl space in 30118 is flooding as you read this, call (888) 690-3757. He will tell you straight what needs to happen and what it will cost.
Why Wade’s Restoration of Atlanta Is Carrollton’s Preferred Reconstruction & Cleanup Company
We work differently than the national franchises that send a salesperson to size up your job. Wade sends himself, or a crew he has trained and background-checked, and he puts his 90-Day Done Right Promise on every water, fire, and mold reconstruction contract. If it is not done right, he makes it right. In writing. Ask anyone on your street who has had a flooded basement off Maple Street or wind damage near the UWG campus. They will tell you the same thing: Wade shows up, he documents everything, and he does not disappear after the check clears.
Carrollton homeowners have called us for everything from post-tornado roof reconstruction to crawl-space drying in the 1960s ranch houses that line the east side of town. The response time to Carrollton is tight because Wade’s crews stage equipment nearby and head straight for 30118, 30119, 30112, and 30116 when a call comes in. No answering service. No voicemail. A live person, 24 hours a day.
What builds trust here is not a slick website. It is the fact that Wade hands over a full moisture log at the end of every job, day by day, reading by reading. Almost nobody in this trade does that. It is also the fact that he deals with your insurance adjuster directly, so you are not the one relaying messages between two parties who speak different languages. And his name is on the truck. He is going to run into you again at the hardware store on a Saturday. That is the oldest accountability mechanism there is.
Our Reconstruction & Cleanup Services in Carrollton
Full-Service Reconstruction
When a tornado takes off a roof section in Carrollton or a burst supply line soaks a kitchen down to the joists, the fix is rarely a one-trade job. We rebuild the framing, rehang drywall, match trim, set flooring, and repaint. Wade coordinates the whole sequence so you are not playing general contractor across four different phone numbers. Mill-era cottages near downtown Carrollton need particular care here because their wood-lathe walls hide water behind plaster until structural rot has spread; we open those walls the right way, document what we find, and rebuild to match the original profile.
Drywall & Flooring Repair
Water from a crawl space flood wicks up into subflooring and drywall within hours in Carrollton’s humid subtropical air. We cut out the saturated material, dry what can be saved, and replace what cannot. In the ranch homes built across Carrollton in the 1960s and 70s, we routinely find delaminated subfloor and swollen baseboards after a single March thunderstorm pushes runoff into the crawl space. The repair is straightforward once the moisture is gone; the trick is getting the moisture out fast enough that you are not replacing the same wall twice.
Contents Restoration & Pack-Out
If a fire, flood, or tornado forces you out of part of your house in Carrollton, we can pack out the contents, inventory them, clean them, and store them until the structure is ready. This matters more than people think. Furniture, clothing, books, and electronics all absorb smoke and moisture, and leaving them in place during reconstruction just spreads the problem. Wade’s team uses professional inventory software and photographs everything before it leaves, which also feeds directly into your insurance claim file.
Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning
After a cleanup is finished, carpets and upholstered furniture in Carrollton homes often hold residual odor and dust from drywall sanding, smoke, or mildew. We deep-clean with truck-mounted extraction equipment and professional-grade agents, not a rental machine from the grocery store. If the carpet was in a flood or a sewage backup, cleaning alone is not enough; we will tell you that on the front end rather than selling you a shampoo job that will smell again in six weeks.

Trusted Brands We Service in Carrollton
We bring professional equipment to every Carrollton job, not homeowner-grade tools. That means Dri-Eaz air movers and dehumidifiers, Phoenix extraction units for fast water removal, and XPOWER fans when we need high-volume airflow across a wet subfloor. These are the same machines the insurance industry trusts for commercial restoration work. When a crawl space off Bankhead Highway takes on six inches of runoff, the difference between a Phoenix 200 MAX and a shop vac is the difference between drying in one trip and living with a dehumidifier humming for a week. We keep parts and consumables stocked for faster turnaround in Carrollton, so we are not waiting on a shipment while your sheetrock stays damp.
Common Reconstruction & Cleanup Problems We See in Carrollton Homes
- Spring crawl-space flooding misread as plumbing failure. Carroll County’s dense red Georgia clay sheds water instead of absorbing it, so a heavy storm can push surface runoff against an east-side ranch foundation and flood the crawl space within hours. Homeowners call a plumber, the plumber finds nothing, and the water comes back next March. The real fix is drainage, grading, and a proper vapor barrier.
- Waiting 48 hours to start drying. In Carrollton’s summer humidity, a wet cavity goes from clean water to mold territory in about two days. We get called to a lot of jobs where someone tried to dry it themselves with box fans and then faced a full mold remediation bill that could have been avoided.
- Under-scoped reconstruction on mill-era cottages. Downtown Carrollton’s older homes hide moisture behind plaster and lathe, not drywall. A contractor who treats them like a modern build will close the wall too soon and leave rot spreading behind it. You have to know how these houses were built.
- Vacant UWG rental properties with delayed damage. The University of West Georgia put a lot of rental housing stock into the neighborhoods around 30118. A roof leak in a vacant student rental can run for weeks before anyone notices, which means the reconstruction scope is far bigger than the original leak. We photograph everything for the owner’s insurance file before we touch a surface.

FAQs - Reconstruction & Cleanup in Carrollton
Because the water almost certainly is not coming from a pipe. Carroll County’s red clay sheds surface runoff instead of absorbing it, and during March and April thunderstorms, that water flows against your foundation and into the crawl space through vents, gaps, or a failed vapor barrier. The fix is drainage and encapsulation, not another plumbing call. Call (888) 690-3757 for a free crawl-space assessment; Wade will tell you what is actually happening under the house.
Wade takes calls himself, 24 hours a day, and can have extraction running inside the hour for properties in 30118, 30119, 30112, and 30116. The equipment comes with him: Phoenix for water removal, Dri-Eaz for drying, XPOWER for airflow. In Carrollton’s humid climate, that first hour matters more than people think.
Yes. We see this regularly around the UWG campus and the surrounding rental corridors. A vacant unit with a roof leak often has weeks of undetected moisture, which means mold testing, structural drying, and reconstruction have to happen in sequence. Wade will document everything for your insurance file and coordinate with your adjuster directly, so you are not managing the claim from out of state.
The wall construction. Mill-era cottages in downtown Carrollton often have wood-lathe and plaster walls that hide water behind the surface until rot has already spread. We open those walls carefully, document the damage, and rebuild to match the original profile. A newer house in 30119 has drywall and standard cavities, which dry and repair more predictably. Call (888) 690-3757 for an honest assessment of which situation you have.
Yes, and we do it thoroughly. Wade photographs everything before, during, and after the job, takes moisture readings every single day, and hands you the full log at the end. He deals with your adjuster directly, which means you are not stuck translating between a contractor and an insurance company. That documentation is often the difference between a claim that gets paid fully and one that gets fought for months. Call (888) 690-3757 and we will start the file on day one.
