Why Lawrenceville Homeowners Choose Wade’s Restoration of Atlanta
Wade Ferris founded this company in 2007 and never stopped answering his own phone. When you call about damage in a Lawrenceville neighborhood, you aren’t routed through a national franchise’s intake queue. You get Wade or a member of his crew, and Wade is the one who shows up with the moisture meters. That matters in a city where restoration contractors from outside the county often misjudge how water moves through Georgia red clay foundations and 1990s crawl spaces.
We work regularly in neighborhoods like Fairfield Plantation, St. Martins Cove, and the subdivisions off Five Forks Trickum Road and Riverside Parkway. Homeowners there tell us the same thing: they wanted a written scope before work started, and someone local enough to look in the eye at the hardware store afterward. That’s how Wade runs every job, and his published license number is part of that transparency.
Every technician Wade sends is background-checked and uniformed. The equipment is Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, and XPOWER. The credentials behind the work come from IICRC certification, RIA affiliation, and IFA recognition. And the 90-Day Done Right Promise is stamped in writing, not offered as a verbal assurance.
Damage Restoration Services We Offer in Lawrenceville
Water Damage Restoration
Burst supply lines, failed water heaters, HVAC pan overflows, and storm-driven crawl-space flooding are the calls we repeat most across Lawrenceville. We extract first, then dry with the right equipment for Georgia’s summer humidity, and we log moisture readings every day until the structure reads dry.

Mold Remediation
Given the dew points Lawrenceville sees from May through September, mold colonizes fast once moisture gets in. Wade’s approach is to find the moisture source first, then remove the mold, not just spray over it, with a daily moisture log handed to you at the end.

Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration
After a kitchen fire or electrical event, soot gets into every porous surface if it isn’t addressed quickly. We scope the damage, work with your adjuster directly, and rebuild surfaces to pre-loss condition, including odor treatment that actually removes residue rather than masking it.

Storm & Disaster Restoration
When a convective storm drops 3 inches of rain in 45 minutes over Gwinnett, aging storm drains back up and water finds the lowest point in your home. We handle tarping, water extraction, and the full Storm & Disaster Restoration in Lawrenceville cleanup path after wind and water events.
Sewage Cleanup
A sewer back up in a slab foundation home in Lawrenceville is a serious health matter, not just a bad smell, which is why Lawrenceville Sewage Cleanup requires immediate professional response. Wade’s crew handles containment, removal, sanitization, and the structural drying and repair that follow, with the same written scope and daily documentation as every other job.
Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup
We approach these situations with our Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup in Lawrenceville discretion and the correct protocols for safe removal and disposal. No homeowner should have to handle that work, and Wade’s crew does it thoroughly and quietly.
Reconstruction & Cleanup
Once mitigation is done, the Lawrenceville Reconstruction & Cleanup has to happen correctly, or you are back in the same spot in a year. We handle drywall, flooring, trim, painting, and structural repairs, coordinated with your insurance company so the scope is clear before the first board comes out.

Why Lawrenceville’s Climate & Housing Affect Damage Restoration
Lawrenceville is the county seat of Gwinnett County, which went through one of the most concentrated suburban construction booms in American history from roughly 1985 to 2005. The bulk of residential inventory across ZIP codes 30042 through 30046 comes from that single builder-grade era, and those homes are now hitting the 20 to 40 year failure window all at once. Original fiberglass shingle roofs are past their service life, polybutylene and early CPVC supply lines are cracking, and crawl-space vapor barriers are giving out on top of Georgia red clay.
That is a density of water intrusion and mold calls that restoration contractors in neighboring, more gradually developed counties simply don’t see at the same scale. Entire subdivisions present with the same failure modes: failed pan liners under HVAC air handlers, cracked supply lines behind walls, and ridge caps deteriorating in the same season. Wade has spent years working this exact housing cohort, which means he often knows what is behind a wall before he cuts into it.
Lawrenceville’s Piedmont climate makes it worse. Summer dew points routinely sit in the 70s, and convective thunderstorms can drop 2 to 4 inches of rain in under an hour. The county’s 1990s storm drain infrastructure gets overwhelmed, and Georgia’s heavy clay soil sheds rather than absorbs water. The result: foundation seepage, crawl-space flooding, and mold colonization within 48 to 72 hours of any moisture intrusion. A restoration crew that doesn’t account for that clay soil and humidity will under-dry a structure and hand you a repeat problem.

FAQs About Damage Restoration in Lawrenceville
Wade Ferris answers his own phone 24/7, and he can usually have extraction running inside the hour at most Lawrenceville addresses, traffic on GA-316 and Sugarloaf Parkway depending. Call (888) 690-3757 and you’ll get a real person, not a voicemail.
Most homeowners policies in Georgia cover sudden and accidental water damage, fire damage, and storm-related losses, though mold remediation coverage varies by policy. Wade deals with your adjuster directly, sends photo documentation, and handles the back and forth, so you aren’t the one relaying information between two sides.
If you smell must, see staining, or had a water event more than 48 hours ago in Lawrenceville’s summer humidity, mold is likely behind surfaces, not just on them. Wade’s crew takes moisture readings and shows you the numbers before recommending remediation. He won’t sell you a full remediation if a cleaning is all the situation calls for.
In Lawrenceville’s 1990s subdivisions, collapsed vapor barriers on Georgia red clay are saturating floor joists with ground moisture even when you never see standing water. Over time, that rots joists and leads to sagging floors. By the time you file a claim, the scope often includes sistering joists, which surprises clients but is standard in this specific housing cohort.
Wade Ferris or a member of his background-checked, uniformed crew. Not a subcontractor you’ve never heard of. He publishes his name, address, and license number, and he is going to run into you again at the hardware store, which keeps him honest in a way a national franchise can’t match. Call (888) 690-3757 for a free estimate.

What Lawrenceville Customers Say
"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."
- 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."
