Why Marietta Homeowners Choose Wade’s Restoration of Atlanta
Most restoration companies here send a rotating cast of technicians. Wade sends himself first, then his crew, and he hands you a moisture log at the end of every water, fire, and mold job. Homeowners in Indian Hills and Whitlock Heights call because they want to see the same face twice. They want to know the guy who wrote the estimate is the one standing in their crawl space. Wade’s crew is background-checked, uniformed, and trained on Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, and XPOWER equipment. The work carries IICRC, RIA, and IFA credentials, plus something the big franchises can’t put on a truck: Wade’s cell number.
Every water, fire, and mold restoration job comes with the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not done right, Wade comes back and makes it right. No charge for that. He also offers a free second opinion on any written estimate, because he’s seen too many Marietta homeowners quoted one price on the phone and another at the door. Ask anyone on your street about that.
Damage Restoration Services We Offer in Marietta
Water Damage Restoration
A burst supply line in a 1960s ranch off Roswell Road is a race against the clock, and the red clay underneath makes it worse. Wade pulls standing water, sets drying equipment, and takes moisture readings every single day until the numbers say the structure is dry. Learn more about our Water Damage Restoration in Marietta.
Mold Remediation
Marietta’s humidity and shallow crawl spaces mean mold is rarely a surface problem. Wade traces it to the source, contains the affected area, and removes contaminated material without spreading spores through the rest of the house. Learn more about our Mold Remediation in Marietta.
Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration
Smoke doesn’t stop at the room where the fire started. It moves through wall cavities and ductwork, and it settles on everything. Wade’s crew cleans what can be cleaned, seals what can’t, and works directly with your adjuster on the scope. Learn more about our Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Marietta.
Storm & Disaster Restoration
When a loblolly pine comes through the roof during a May thunderstorm, tarping has to happen now. Wade has done enough storm response in Cobb County to know which tree falls happen most and how to secure a structure fast.
Sewage Cleanup
Sewage backup is a biohazard, not just a mess. Wade’s crew removes contaminated water and material, disinfects the affected area, and documents everything for insurance. Call fast; the longer it sits, the more it costs.
Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup
Sometimes families face the worst kind of cleanup with no idea where to start. Wade handles these jobs with discretion, speed, and the proper protective protocols, so the family doesn’t have to.
Reconstruction & Cleanup
After mitigation comes the rebuild. Drywall, trim, flooring, paint. Wade’s crew handles reconstruction on the same job, so you’re not coordinating between a mitigation company and a contractor who’s never seen the moisture log.

Why Marietta’s Climate & Housing Affect Damage Restoration
Marietta sits in a spot where two damage drivers collide. On the north and east sides, a dense canopy of loblolly pines and hardwoods hangs over East Cobb neighborhoods, and Dixie Alley thunderstorms drop them onto roofs with regularity from May through September. On the west and south sides, in the older 30060 and 30008 ZIP codes, mid-century ranch homes sit over crawl spaces with no vapor barrier, and the red Georgia clay holds moisture against foundations for days after every rain. Wade has walked into 1950s ranches where a two-day-old kitchen flood had already seeded mold in the crawl space below the subfloor. The original construction has no poly barrier, the clay never fully dries, and what looked like a water job is actually a full mold remediation project too. Restoration contractors in Marietta run two businesses at once: storm and tree-impact response on one side of town, chronic moisture and mold mitigation on the other. Few other Atlanta suburbs have the same split.
Pricing for Damage Restoration in Marietta
What does restoration actually cost here? It depends on how far the water traveled.
- Water extraction and dry-out for a single room: $1,200-$2,800, depending on how long the water sat and what it soaked into.
- Mold remediation for a crawl space or single room: $1,500-$4,500, plus containment setup. Marietta crawl space jobs with no existing vapor barrier typically run toward the higher end because the clay keeps feeding moisture back.
- Sewage cleanup: $2,000-$6,000. Biohazard labor and disposal drive this up; there’s no cheap version of safe sewage work.
- Fire and smoke restoration: $3,000-$12,000 for a contained kitchen fire, though a full-house smoke event on a ranch goes higher.
Wade gives a written scope before work starts, and he deals with your adjuster directly so you’re not the one relaying numbers between two sides. Call (888) 690-3757 for a free estimate. He’d rather walk the property than guess over the phone.

FAQs About Damage Restoration in Marietta
Wade answers his own phone and is usually on the road within minutes of the call. For water extraction in Marietta, he’s typically running equipment inside the hour. Call (888) 690-3757 and you’ll talk to him directly.
Most homeowner policies cover sudden water damage, fire, and storm damage, but every policy differs. Wade documents everything with photos and moisture logs, and coordinates directly with your adjuster so you’re not the one arguing scope over email. Call for help reading your specific situation.
If you can see mold on drywall or smell it, there’s usually more inside the wall cavity or crawl space than on the surface. In Marietta’s older crawl space homes especially, surface cleaning is temporary. Wade’s free second opinion on any written estimate gives you an honest read without a sales pitch.
The combination of red clay, shallow crawl spaces, and original construction without vapor barriers means moisture hangs around under the subfloor long after a leak stops. The wood stays damp, and mold grows where nobody looks. Wade sees this constantly in 30060 and 30008.

What Marietta Customers Say
"He photographed everything before he touched a thing and took moisture readings every single day, then handed the whole file to the adjuster. Our claim went through without one argument."
- Roosevelt Dandridge"The first company I rang wanted to tear out the hardwood immediately. Wade said if he could get it dry in seventy two hours it would come back, and it did. Saved us the floor and a great deal of money."
- Esperanza Villarreal"Sewer backup into the basement, which is about as bad as it gets. Full protective gear, everything porous out and bagged, sanitised properly, and you would never know now."
