Fast, Reliable Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Across Conyers
A kitchen fire in Conyers doesn’t just leave char. It leaves smoke that works its way into OSB sheathing, soot that settles into builder-grade ductwork, and firefighting water that pools against your slab the same way every red clay rainstorm does. Wade’s Restoration of Atlanta handles the full scope, not just the visible burn. Call (888) 690-3757 and Wade’s crew heads to Conyers right away. A live person answers, 24/7. Usually that person is Wade himself.
We’ve worked fires in the 30012, 30013, and 30094 ZIP codes long enough to know that a Conyers fire loss is never just about the flames. It’s about what the smoke did inside the wall cavities of a 1992 ranch off Salem Road. It’s about whether the fire department’s water followed the settled clay grading into your bottom plates. That’s the part that shows up three weeks later as mold if nobody checked for it. We check for it every time.
Why Wade’s Restoration of Atlanta Is Conyers’s Preferred Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Company
Wade Ferris founded this company in 2007 and never turned it into a franchise. His name is on the truck, his address is published, and he answers his own phone. In Conyers, that matters. You’ll run into him again at the Ingles on Highway 138 or the Home Depot off I-20. That’s the oldest accountability mechanism there is, and it works better than any national chain’s call center ever could.
When a house fire hits a Conyers neighborhood off Salem Road or Flat Shoals Road, you don’t want a rotating cast of subcontractors. You want the person who wrote the scope to be the person who shows up. Wade deals with your insurance adjuster directly so you’re not the one relaying information between two sides. He takes moisture readings every single day and hands you the full log at the end of the job. Almost nobody in the trade does that. It’s why homeowners who live in the 1988 to 2005 tract subdivisions keep our number saved.
Our response to a Conyers call is measured in minutes, not business days. Wade’s crew is on the road from metro Atlanta, and he knows the I-20 eastbound rhythm well enough to beat the afternoon Snellville merge. Emergency board-up and tarping should happen the same day the fire is out. Not three days later.
Every fire, water, and mold restoration job carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not done right, Wade makes it right. One call brings him back. That’s the whole promise, and we put it on every contract. Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration is the core of what we do, and we do it the way a neighbor would: straight, thorough, and without the phone-tree runaround.
Our Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Services in Conyers
Smoke & Soot Removal
Smoke in a Conyers home doesn’t just sit on surfaces. In the 1990s vinyl-sided tract homes that dominate 30012 and 30013, smoke gets pulled into wall cavities through the same construction gaps that never got air-sealed. The builder-grade vapor barrier and OSB sheathing hold onto that odor. We don’t just wipe down walls. We open the cavities that need opening and clean what’s inside. Soot from synthetic materials, like burned carpet and vinyl flooring, is acidic and etches surfaces within 48 hours. Getting it off the drywall and off your fixtures fast is the difference between cleanup and replacement.
Odor Removal & Deodorization
Ozone generators and air scrubbers are not interchangeable. In Conyers’s humid Piedmont climate, running an ozone machine without first removing the odor source just masks the smell for a few weeks until summer humidity brings it right back. We use XPOWER air scrubbers with activated carbon filtration during the physical cleaning phase, then follow up with thermal fogging and cavity injection where the OSB has absorbed smoke. The goal is dead-neutral air, not “febreezed” air. Your nose is the final inspection, and Wade walks the house with you before we call it done.
Emergency Board-Up & Tarping
A burned-out window on a Conyers house is an invitation. Looters watch for fire damage. Rain doesn’t watch. It just falls. Georgia’s afternoon convective thunderstorms roll through Rockdale County on a summer schedule, and an open roof deck after a fire will take on water within hours. We board and tarp same-day, using heavier-duty fastening than the quick plywood slaps you’ll get from a fly-by-night crew. For the pre-1960s wood-frame homes around the historic downtown core, we shim and brace the original roof decking before tarping so the structure doesn’t sag under the weight of a tarp plus a hard rain.
Contents Cleaning & Pack-Out
Smoke-damaged contents in Conyers homes often sit in rooms with builder-grade windows that were barely airtight when new and certainly aren’t now. Limited ventilation means smoke settled into everything, not just what burned. We inventory, photograph, pack out, and clean contents at our facility using ultrasonic and dry-ice methods when needed. The photo documentation goes to your adjuster. You get a line-item list of what was cleaned, what was restored, and what was too far gone. No one gets to tell you “it’s all a loss” without showing you why.

Trusted Brands We Service in Conyers
We stock parts and service equipment from Phoenix, XPOWER, and Dri-Eaz, and we run B-Air and Injectidry units on Conyers jobs every week. That’s not brand loyalty. That’s just what holds up under Georgia humidity and repeated use. When a Conyers homeowner needs a dehumidifier or air scrubber running for days, the machine has to be commercial-grade. The homeowner-grade stuff from the big-box store can’t pull water from a slab-edge cavity in 70% relative humidity. Our equipment can, and we stock replacement filters and parts locally enough that a down unit doesn’t stall your job.
Common Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Problems We See in Conyers Homes
- Smoke odor trapped in OSB sheathing. In the 1988-2005 slab-on-grade subdivisions, the OSB sheathing behind vinyl siding acts like a sponge for smoke. The builder-grade air sealing was never meant for post-fire ventilation, so odor lingers in cavities nobody sees. Full cavity deodorization is almost always required, not just surface cleaning.
- Firefighting water following the red clay bowl. East Conyers subdivisions where the 1990s slab foundations sit on settled clay grading create a shallow bowl that pools runoff against the slab-to-framing seam. Firefighting water does the same thing. We find hidden water intrusion in bottom plates on jobs where the fire department saved the house but soaked the foundation perimeter.
- Pre-1960s plaster walls holding smoke deep. Near the historic downtown core, the original plaster walls absorb smoke differently than drywall. They can also spall after fire exposure. The aged roof decking on these houses often needs emergency tarping and structural shoring before any contents cleaning can even begin.
- HVAC duct contamination from forced-air systems. The builder-grade ductwork in 1990s Conyers homes was leaky from day one. After a fire, smoke gets into the return air system and spreads through every room. We run a scope on the ductwork before we tell you the house is clean.

Fire damage restoration in Conyers typically runs $2,800 to $6,500 for smoke and soot cleanup in a single-room fire, $8,000 to $20,000 for multi-room smoke and odor remediation with cavity deodorization, and $15,000 to $45,000+ for structural fire repair with contents pack-out and full rebuild.

FAQs - Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Conyers
Because the smoke doesn’t just sit on surfaces in those houses. It gets pulled into the wall cavities through the builder-grade construction gaps that were never air-sealed, and the OSB sheathing behind the vinyl siding holds onto the odor. Surface cleaning and an ozone machine won’t reach it. You need cavity deodorization and often full removal of the contaminated sheathing sections. That’s the biggest reason Conyers fire jobs take longer than homeowners expect. Call (888) 690-3757 and we’ll scope it honestly before any work starts.
Conyers’s expansive red clay sheds water instead of absorbing it. The 1990s subdivisions where all the lots were graded identically by the same builder have settled into shallow bowls over 25 to 30 years. Firefighting water follows that same path storm runoff does, pooling against the slab perimeter and wicking into bottom plates through the slab-to-framing seam. So post-fire drying in east Conyers routinely includes slab-edge water intrusion remediation that a fire job in Covington wouldn’t need at the same frequency. We check for it on every slab home we restore.
The original plaster walls. Plaster holds smoke deeper than drywall and can spall after fire exposure, which means structural assessment before cosmetic work. The aged roof decking on those houses also often needs emergency tarping and shoring before we can touch contents. It’s slower work than a 1990s tract home, and it takes someone who’s done it before. Wade has.
Yes. The water used to put out a fire is hundreds of gallons, and on a slab foundation in Conyers, it doesn’t drain away the way it would on a basement house. It pools against the slab, follows the settled clay grading, and wicks into bottom plates. Three weeks later you get mold inside a wall that never even got hot. We run moisture readings on every fire job, every day, and hand you the log. If the water’s there, we dry it before it becomes a second disaster.
We pack out what can be restored and clean it at our facility using ultrasonic and dry-ice methods where appropriate. For items that stay on site, we run XPOWER air scrubbers and HEPA filtration continuously during the restoration. The photo-documented inventory goes straight to your adjuster. You’re never stuck relaying information between us and the insurance company. Wade deals with them directly. Call (888) 690-3757 for a free estimate and a straight answer about what’s worth cleaning.
