Why Wade’s Restoration of Atlanta Is Powder Springs’s Preferred Reconstruction & Cleanup Company
Wade Ferris started this company in 2007 with his own name on the truck and his own phone number on the business card.

We carry IICRC certifications and RIA affiliation, but around here what matters more is that Wade writes his own estimates and stands behind them with the 90-Day Done Right Promise. Every job, in writing.

Our Reconstruction & Cleanup Services in Powder Springs
Full-Service Reconstruction
When a tree limb comes through your roof, the cleanup is only the beginning. We rebuild the structural framing, match the roofline to your existing brick-front colonial or ranch, and handle every trade so you’re not juggling three contractors. In Powder Springs, where mature water oaks and loblolly pines overhang nearly every 1980s subdivision, full reconstruction is a service we provide almost weekly from May through September.
Drywall & Flooring Repair
Powder Springs homes with crawl-space foundations absorb water from below and drop ceiling water from above. The result is drywall that sags, buckles, or grows mold before you even notice a stain. We cut out damaged sections cleanly, dry the cavity with commercial dehumidifiers, and patch, texture, and paint to match. Subflooring and hardwood in older Powder Springs homes often need spot replacement rather than full tear-out, and we’ll tell you which one your house actually needs.
Contents Restoration & Pack-Out
Furniture, files, and family photos that get soaked or smoke-damaged don’t have to end up in a dumpster. We pack out contents from homes throughout 30127, transport them to our facility for cleaning and deodorizing, and bring them back when the rebuild is done. Seniors and veterans get a 10% discount on every job, every time, no expiration.
Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning
Storm water and sewage leave carpets and couches that look fine but smell wrong for months. We use hot-water extraction with B-Air drying systems to pull contaminants out and dry fast enough that mold never gets a start. For Powder Springs homes where a crawl-space flood left the living room damp, this is frequently all the carpet needs, which beats a $4,000 replacement.

Common Reconstruction & Cleanup Problems We See in Powder Springs Homes
Every town has its own damage fingerprint. Powder Springs has one we’ve learned to read over the years, and it almost always traces back to red clay, mature trees, or crawl spaces built in the 1980s and 1990s.
- Crawl-space water intrusion from red clay runoff. The impermeable clay soil in the Noonday Creek watershed sheds storm water instead of absorbing it, sending it against foundation walls and into crawl spaces. After enough seasons of wetting, rim joists and floor joists rot to the point where a simple storm cleanup becomes structural repair.
- Mature tree canopy over 1980s rooflines. The loblolly pines and water oaks planted during the build-out are now 35-45 feet tall and close enough to almost every house in Powder Springs to do real damage when a summer squall pushes them over.
- HVAC condensate lines draining into crawl spaces. In brick-front colonials built between 1985 and 1999, the condensate line often runs into the crawl space rather than outside. That moisture accumulates silently under the subfloor and produces mold that spreads for months before anyone sees it.
- Freeze-and-burst pipe leaks in underinsulated crawl spaces. Atlanta ice storms hit Powder Springs crawl-space homes hard. Pipes freeze, split, and leak for days before the thaw reveals the mess, saturating insulation and subflooring until the only fix is drywall replacement and mold remediation.
Pricing for Reconstruction & Cleanup in Powder Springs, GA

Contents pack-out and cleaning adds $1,500-$5,000 to a typical claim.

FAQs - Reconstruction & Cleanup in Powder Springs
Most Powder Springs homes built in the 1980s and 1990s still have their original vapor barrier, which means it’s 30 to 40 years old and almost certainly torn or rotting. In the red clay soil of the Noonday Creek watershed, heat and moisture degrade polyethylene barriers much faster than the 20-year lifespan manufacturers cite, so we recommend replacement every 10 to 15 years, and inspection after any summer where you saw standing water against the foundation. Call (888) 690-3757 and we’ll come check it. No trip charge inside our county.
We rebuild from the inside out: temporary tarp and board-up, then structural assessment of trusses or rafters, then framing repairs, sheathing, roofing, drywall, insulation, paint, and finish flooring. We also run commercial dehumidifiers the entire time because Powder Springs humidity will start mold growth in wet framing within 48 hours. A full tree-fall reconstruction in a Powder Springs colonial typically takes two to four weeks depending on insurance scope.
Yes, if the drying started fast and the damage hasn’t sat wet for more than a couple of days. In Powder Springs, we routinely cut out water-stained drywall below the fill line, dry the cavity, and patch, keeping ceilings and upper walls intact. Subfloors, though, are different: if water sat in a crawl space for weeks, the subfloor usually has to go. We’ll show you the moisture readings before we cut anything, and you’ll get a written scope before work starts.
It comes down to soil and timing. Powder Springs sits on the red clay of western Cobb County, which sheds water instead of absorbing it, so a two-inch thunderstorm sends runoff straight against foundation walls and into crawl spaces. The crawl spaces have vapor barriers that are decades old and often compromised. Warm, humid air then does what warm, humid air does: mold grows on the joists and subfloor within days. One storm can start a mold cycle that repeats every season until the source is fixed.
