Fast, Reliable Reconstruction & Cleanup Across Tyrone
Reconstruction and cleanup in Tyrone, GA usually means one thing: a floor or drywall repair that turned out to hide a crawl space problem underneath. Most homes here were built between 1985 and 2005 on vented crawl spaces over Fayette County red clay, and the original vapor barriers are failing. We get Tyrone homes dried out, repaired, and rebuilt the right way, with the moisture problem actually solved so it doesn’t come back. Call Wade Ferris at (888) 690-3757 and he’ll walk you through what’s actually going on.
Why Wade’s Restoration of Atlanta Is Tyrone’s Preferred Reconstruction & Cleanup Company
Wade Ferris founded this company in 2007 and he’s been crawling under Tyrone homes ever since. He knows what a 1990s Lakemont subdivision crawl space looks like after a summer storm, and he knows that the musty smell in the living room usually isn’t a carpet problem. Wade runs his own calls, answers his own phone, and stands behind the work with a 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not done right, he makes it right. That’s not a slogan. It’s on the contract.
We’re not a national chain with a rotating cast of subcontractors. When you call Wade’s Restoration, you get Wade and his crew, background-checked and uniformed, showing up with the right equipment and a moisture meter, not a clipboard and a hard sell. Our Reconstruction & Cleanup team handles everything from a single buckled floorboard to a full gut-and-rebuild after a crawl space flood. And because we work in Tyrone constantly, we already know how your home was built, which means we find the problem faster.
Dispatching from our metro Atlanta office, we can usually have Wade or one of his crew at your Tyrone home the same day you call. For a wet crawl space, that speed matters. Mold starts colonizing within 24 to 48 hours on saturated wood, and Tyrone’s humidity doesn’t help.
Our Reconstruction & Cleanup Services in Tyrone
Full-Service Reconstruction
After a flood or fire, Tyrone homeowners need someone who can take the project from gutted shell to finished room. We rebuild floors, walls, ceilings, trim, and cabinetry. Because we do our own demolition, drying, and rebuild, there’s no finger-pointing between a mitigation company and a separate contractor. One crew, one name, one person accountable: Wade Ferris.
Drywall & Flooring Repair
In Tyrone’s tight subdivisions, cracked drywall and soft floors are rarely surface issues. The red clay under the house holds water against foundation walls, and that moisture travels up through framing. We don’t patch a crack and call it done. We find where the water is coming from, fix it, and then repair the drywall or floor right. If you’re in Lakemont or any neighborhood off Tyrone Road and the hardwood is cupping, that’s a crawl space conversation before it’s a flooring one.
Contents Restoration & Pack-Out
When a room has to be gutted, the furniture, clothes, and personal items need somewhere safe. We pack out, inventory, clean, and store contents off-site until the rebuild is complete, then deliver everything back. Our crew documents every item with photos so the insurance adjuster gets a clean, itemized file. You shouldn’t have to do that work yourself.
Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning
Not every job is a disaster. Sometimes it’s a carpet that hasn’t been deep cleaned in a decade or a sofa that took on water from a burst supply line. We run professional-grade truck-mounted extraction and HEPA air scrubbers in Tyrone homes regularly. If the carpet is salvageable, we save it. If it isn’t, we’ll tell you straight and show you why with moisture readings you can see.

Trusted Brands We Service in Tyrone
We stock parts, filters, and supplies locally for Tyrone customers, so there’s no waiting on a warehouse in another state. Our drying trailers carry Dri-Eaz dehumidifiers, Phoenix air movers, and XPOWER HEPA filtration units. When we replace a failed crawl space vapor barrier, it’s a sealed 10-mil or better material, taped at the seams, not a roll of cheap plastic from the hardware store. If you already have remediation equipment from a previous issue, we service and supply the same brands the industry trusts.
Common Reconstruction & Cleanup Problems We See in Tyrone Homes
- Buckled hardwood over a wet crawl space. The wood wasn’t the problem. The vapor barrier under the floor failed years ago, and red clay runoff has been feeding moisture into the joists since then. Patching the floor alone guarantees a return trip.
- Musty smell in a finished room that never goes away. That’s almost always mold on the underside of the subfloor or in the insulation batts. You won’t see it from above, but the moisture meter finds it in five minutes.
- Drywall cracks along interior door headers. In Tyrone’s clay soil, foundation movement is common. Small cracks may be cosmetic, but if they’re spreading or accompanied by sticking doors, get it checked before you hang fresh drywall over a moving frame.
- Townhome reconstruction with HOA access rules. Tight parking, shared walls, and strict working hours change how a job gets done. We’re used to working Tyrone’s attached-home communities and we’ll coordinate with your HOA before we ever fire up a saw.
Pricing for Reconstruction & Cleanup in Tyrone, GA
Here’s the real talk on money. A basic crawl space vapor barrier replacement with subfloor joist drying in Tyrone typically runs $2,800 to $6,500 depending on square footage and how much insulation has to come out. Full-service reconstruction after a major flood generally starts around $12,000 and goes up from there, because you’re replacing framing, drywall, flooring, and finish work. Buckled hardwood repair in one room, with joist drying and refinishing, usually falls between $4,000 and $9,000. Drywall repair alone might be $800 to $2,500 per room, but that number changes fast if mold is behind it. Every quote is free, in writing, and itemized before we start.

FAQs - Reconstruction & Cleanup in Tyrone
Because the smell was never in the carpet. It’s in the floor joists and subfloor sheathing under the finished room, fed by a torn or shifted vapor barrier that’s been letting red clay moisture rise for years. Replacing the flooring just puts new material over the old problem. The fix is drying the crawl space, replacing the vapor barrier, and treating or replacing the affected framing before finishing the room again. Call (888) 690-3757 and we’ll bring a moisture meter and show you exactly where the damp is.
Yes, if the damage is caught early and the joists underneath are intact, we can often cut out the affected boards, dry the subfloor, and weave in matching replacement boards without gutting the room. But if the vapor barrier has been gone for a decade and the joists are soft, the floor has to come up. We’ll tell you the honest answer only after we see what’s underneath. A free estimate from Wade is exactly that: free, and in writing.
We work the job around the HOA’s approved hours and access rules, and we handle the paperwork so you’re not stuck as the messenger. We’ve done enough work in Tyrone’s attached-home neighborhoods to know where the dumpster goes, how to protect shared walls, and how to keep exhaust from one unit’s crawl space from pushing into the neighbor’s foundation vents. We use containment barriers and directed airflow on every attached-home job. That’s standard practice for us, not an upgrade.
Yes. We photograph every damaged area before work starts, document moisture readings daily with our Dri-Eaz and Phoenix equipment, and hand you the full log at the end of the job. Wade talks directly with your adjuster so you’re not relaying messages between two parties. We build the estimate line by line, with photos, so your claim moves faster and you’re not left arguing over what was actually wet.
Mold can begin colonizing saturated wood within 24 to 48 hours, and Tyrone’s humid climate speeds that timeline. The answer: start drying today, not next week. Wade can have extraction running inside the hour when you call (888) 690-3757. We’ll pump standing water, set dehumidifiers and air movers, and get the subfloor drying while we scope the rebuild. A delay of a few days can turn a $3,000 dryout into a $15,000 structural repair.
