Why Dunwoody Homeowners Choose Wade’s Restoration of Atlanta
Dunwoody isn’t a town where people hand over a key to a stranger with a truck. Most folks here have lived in the same house for twenty or thirty years, raised kids here, know their neighbors by name. That’s exactly the customer Wade Ferris built this company for. Wade is the owner, his address is published, and he is the one who shows up. Not a rotating cast of subcontractors. Ask anyone in Georgetown or Dunwoody Club Forest. The same face comes back year after year.
Every water, fire, and mold job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, Wade makes it right. In writing. His crew runs professional-grade equipment including Dri-Eaz and Phoenix air movers and dehumidifiers, XPOWER for extraction, and Injectidry for in-place drying where tearing out walls would do more harm than good. The work is backed by IICRC certification and RIA affiliation. And when your insurance adjuster starts asking questions, Wade talks to them directly so you’re not playing telephone between two parties.
Damage Restoration Services We Offer in Dunwoody
Water Damage Restoration
A burst supply line, a failed water heater, a dishwasher that let go overnight: in Dunwoody’s 1970s and 1980s houses, we see a lot of polybutylene supply-line failures, and the damage is usually bigger than the homeowner thinks. Wade’s crew extracts, dries, and documents every step. He hands you a daily moisture log, which almost nobody in this trade does.

Mold Remediation
Dunwoody’s heavy tree canopy keeps houses shaded and humid, and when moisture gets behind drywall in a 1980s tract home, mold can take hold before you ever see a spot. We scope the affected area, contain it, remove contaminated material, and verify with post-remediation testing. You get a written scope before any demolition starts.

Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration
Kitchen fires, electrical fires, chimney fires: after the trucks leave, the smoke is still inside your walls, ductwork, and every soft surface. We clean, seal, deodorize, and rebuild what the fire destroyed, and Wade communicates directly with your adjuster so the claim doesn’t stall because the photos were insufficient.

Why Dunwoody’s Climate & Housing Affect Damage Restoration
Dunwoody sits at an unusual intersection: densely canopied 1970s and 1980s residential subdivisions on one side, and the Perimeter Center high-rise office and hotel corridor near Sandy Springs, GA on the other. That means restoration crews here have to be equally comfortable walking a flooded basement in Georgetown and a Category 3 water loss on the 14th floor of a Perimeter tower. It’s a dual demand profile that most cities this size never see.
Residentially, the dominant issue is polybutylene. Installed throughout Georgia between roughly 1978 and 1995, these gray plastic supply lines turn brittle as they age. When one finally splits behind a wall in a Dunwoody Club Forest home, the water has usually been wicking into kraft-faced insulation and OSB sheathing for weeks before anyone notices a stain. We know to check for polybutylene at the meter before we even start scoping a water loss in these neighborhoods. And the tree canopy: Dunwoody’s city government actively protects its mature hardwoods, which means large oaks and pines stay in place until a straight-line summer storm or a heavy January ice load drops them onto roofs, gutters, and air-conditioning condensers. Nancy Creek and its tributaries add localized flood risk that standard homeowners’ policies frequently exclude, which affects how we document and how we bill.

If the growth is small, on a non-porous surface, and you can see the full extent, cleaning may be enough.

We’ll tell you honestly which situation you’re in. Call (888) 690-3757 for a straight answer.
