Why Stone Mountain Homeowners Choose Wade’s Restoration of Atlanta
Wade started this company in 2007 because he got tired of watching insurance companies and out-of-town franchises treat homeowners like claim numbers. He put his name on the truck, his number in the phone book, and his reputation on the line with every job. Eighteen years later, that’s still how it works. The address is published. The license number is real. And Wade runs into his customers at the Kroger on Rockbridge Road and the post office near Main Street, not just when something’s gone wrong.
Homeowners in Hunters Crossing and Hidden Hills have called us for everything from burst pipes to attic mold to kitchen fires. What they get is the same every time: a written scope before work starts, daily moisture readings on water jobs, and direct communication with their insurance adjuster. Wade doesn’t hand you a number to call. He talks to your adjuster himself, so you’re not the one stuck in the middle translating between two sides. That’s not a “feature.” That’s him not wanting you to get shortchanged.
Our credentials are IICRC, RIA, and IFA. Our equipment runs on Dri-Eaz and Phoenix. And every restoration contract carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if it’s not done right, Wade makes it right. One call brings him back.
Damage Restoration Services We Offer in Stone Mountain
Water Damage Restoration
Broken supply line, water heater failure, storm intrusion. We find the water, stop it, dry the structure, and document everything for your insurer. Our Water Damage Restoration in Stone Mountain page covers the process in detail.
Learn more about our water damage work in Stone Mountain.
Mold Remediation
Crawl spaces in Stone Mountain trap humidity against Georgia summers, and mold follows water losses like clockwork. We contain the affected area, remove contaminated material, and dry things to a standard that keeps mold from coming back. See Mold Remediation in Stone Mountain for specifics.

Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration
After a fire, soot is corrosive and smoke odor buries itself in drywall, insulation, and fabric. We clean, deodorize, and rebuild. The Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Stone Mountain page walks you through what to expect.

Sewage Cleanup
Stone Mountain Sewage Cleanup for Category 3 water is a health hazard. We remove contaminated material, sanitize affected surfaces, and restore sanitary conditions. This is not a mop-and-bleach job, and we treat it accordingly.

We handle our Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup in Stone Mountain discreetly and thoroughly, following all state and OSHA protocols for the removal and disposal of bloodborne pathogens and other hazardous materials.
Reconstruction & Cleanup

Why Stone Mountain’s Climate & Housing Affect Damage Restoration
Stone Mountain sits on top of one of the largest exposed granite formations in the eastern United States. That’s a fact most people know from the park and the laser show. What fewer people know is that all that granite is impermeable. When Atlanta gets one of its famous downpours, about 50 inches of rain a year, the water doesn’t soak into the ground the way it does in Tucker or Decatur. It sheets off the rock and concentrates in the lower-lying neighborhoods around the dome, especially in the 30083 ZIP code south and west of the mountain.
That’s why so many Stone Mountain homes have recurring crawl space moisture problems that standard French drains can’t fix. The soil layer is too shallow. Dig down a few feet and you hit rock before a drain can be seated at an effective depth. Wade’s crew has to design around the geology, not fight it. If a contractor doesn’t understand that, you’ll be dealing with mold again in two years.
The housing stock adds another layer. Most homes in 30083, 30087, and 30088 are brick ranch and split-level builds from the late 1950s through the early 1980s, and the majority sit on crawl space foundations, not slabs. Crawl spaces in Georgia hold humidity all summer long. After any water loss, mold follows. And around Stone Mountain Village, older homes may still have asbestos-containing floor tile or pipe insulation, which has to be identified before invasive work begins. That’s not a delay. That’s us keeping your family safe.
Winter brings ice storms, not snow. Ice loads down gutters and takes them right off the fascia. Pipes freeze in homes that were never built for hard freezes, and we get a spike of burst-pipe calls after every ice event. Summer afternoons are their own hazard: convective storms can drop two inches of rain in under an hour, and the drainage around here can’t keep up.

FAQs About Damage Restoration in Stone Mountain
In most Stone Mountain neighborhoods, Wade or a member of his crew can be at your door within an hour of your call. He answers his own phone, so there’s no dispatch queue or answering service between you and the person who’s actually coming. Call (888) 690-3757 and you’ll talk to a live person.
Most homeowners policies cover sudden and accidental water damage, like a burst pipe or supply line failure, but not gradual leaks or groundwater flooding. Wade deals with your adjuster directly, sends photo documentation and moisture logs, and helps you understand what’s covered before you commit to work. It’s part of the job, not an extra charge.
Because of the granite. Stone Mountain sits on an impermeable pluton, and in neighborhoods around the base, water concentrates against rock instead of draining. If a contractor treats your mold problem without addressing the drainage pattern, it won’t last. Wade’s crew designs around the geology, not against it, which is why his mold jobs tend to stay done.
If you can see mold, the colony is almost always larger than what’s visible. Surface cleaning leaves spores and hyphae in porous materials like drywall and subfloor. In a Georgia crawl space, it comes back. We test, contain, remove, and dry to a standard that ends the problem. Call (888) 690-3757 for an honest assessment, and get a free second opinion if another company has already quoted you.
It’s in writing on every water, fire, and mold restoration contract. If the work isn’t done right, Wade makes it right within 90 days. One call brings him back. No arguing about whether it’s covered, no new invoice. It’s the same promise he’s been making since 2007.
Yes. Wade talks to the adjuster directly and sends photo documentation, daily moisture readings from Dri-Eaz and Phoenix equipment, and a clear scope of work. You’re never stuck relaying information between two sides. That’s one of the reasons homeowners around Stone Mountain call him instead of a national chain.
If you’re dealing with water, mold, fire, or any kind of damage to your Stone Mountain home, call (888) 690-3757 now. Wade will pick up. He’ll tell you what he sees and what he’d do if it were his house. Then he’ll show up and do it.

What Stone Mountain Customers Say
"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."
- Ignatius Oduya"He gave me the daily moisture log at the end, on paper, with the readings from every point. I have never had a trade prove the job was actually finished before."
- Rowena Thackeray"He talked me through what would happen next while I was still standing in the water crying down the phone at him. That was worth as much to me that night as the equipment."
