Fast, Reliable Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Across Peachtree City
Fire damage in our Peachtree City service area hits differently than in most Georgia towns. The homes here, built around the cart paths and lakes, often have specific construction patterns that trap smoke in places you wouldn’t expect. If you’re standing in a smoke-damaged living room in Kedron or Braelinn right now, you need a crew that knows Fayette County homes, not a call center that patches you through to whoever’s closest. Wade’s Restoration answers the phone at (888) 690-3757, and Wade heads to Peachtree City himself. Smoke keeps working its way into drywall, ductwork, and attic insulation for days after the flames are out. Every hour you wait means soot sets deeper into painted surfaces and fabrics. We’ll get someone on the road fast, and we’ll be straight with you about what can be cleaned versus what needs replacing.
Why Wade’s Restoration of Atlanta Is Peachtree City’s Preferred Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Company
Wade Ferris started this company in 2007 and built it the old way: put your name on the truck, publish your address, and answer your own phone. That matters in Peachtree City, where you’ll run into the same people at The Avenue or on the cart path every weekend. You don’t want some faceless franchise crew in your home. You want someone who knows that homes in the original village near Lake Peachtree have older framing that holds smoke differently than the brick-veneer construction in newer Kedron builds. Our Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration team has worked homes in 30269, 30270, and 31169, and we understand how this city’s housing stock behaves after a fire.
Wade deals with your insurance adjuster directly. You’re not stuck playing messenger between an adjuster and a contractor. We document everything with photos, daily moisture readings when water was involved in the firefight, and a written scope before work starts. That written scope is your protection against the bait-and-switch pricing you’ve probably heard horror stories about. Ask anyone on your street. In a town like Peachtree City, reputation travels fast, and we’ve kept ours clean for years.
Our Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Services in Peachtree City
Fire Damage Cleanup
After the fire trucks leave, you’re left with charred framing, water-soaked drywall from firefighting efforts, and debris. Peachtree City Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup aside, fire damage cleanup here typically runs $1,200 to $3,800 for moderate room-and-contents cleanup, and more if structural elements need removal. We start by getting the wet, burned material out. That stops the secondary damage, because your home’s humid Fayette County air will turn wet drywall into a mold farm within 48 hours. We’re IICRC-certified, and we’ll show you exactly what’s being removed and why.
Smoke & Soot Removal
Soot is acidic. It etches glass, corrodes metal fixtures, and permanently yellows painted surfaces if it sits. In Peachtree City homes with the brick veneer so common in Kedron and Braelinn villages, smoke travels behind the cavity between brick and framing and exits through unexpected gaps. We clean the visible surfaces and trace the smoke path through cavities, because if you only wipe walls you’ll still smell the fire every humid summer day. This deep cleaning typically costs $800 to $2,500 depending on square footage and how far smoke penetrated.
Odor Removal & Deodorization
A fire smell lingering for weeks isn’t just unpleasant; it means smoke particles are trapped in textiles, insulation, and HVAC ducts. In Peachtree City, our humid summers make trapped smoke odor bloom. We use thermal fogging, ozone, and hydroxyl generators from Dri-Eaz and Phoenix to neutralize odor at the source. For homes with original ductwork, common in the 50-plus-year-old properties around Lake Peachtree, we may recommend a full duct cleaning before deodorizing, because smoke hides in every turn. Plan on $600 to $1,800 in this market.
Contents Cleaning & Pack-Out
Furniture, clothing, kitchenware, books. Smoke doesn’t discriminate. We pack out, inventory, and clean your belongings off-site or on-site depending on what you’d rather keep close. For Peachtree City homeowners with lakefront properties and second-floor primary suites, the challenge is often large furniture that’s hard to move along narrow stairwells and lofted layouts. We handle that daily. Contents cleaning and pack-out in Peachtree City generally costs $900 to $4,000 depending on volume and the type of smoke (grease fires from kitchens, wildfire drift, and electrical fires all clean differently).

Common Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Problems We See in Peachtree City Homes
- Smoke trapped behind brick veneer. The brick-veneer construction used throughout Kedron and Braelinn village homes creates a natural chimney effect: smoke from a garage or kitchen fire rises into the wall cavity and emerges in upstairs bedrooms or attics far from the source. If you only clean the burn room, the upstairs still smells for years.
- Original HVAC ductwork in older lake-area homes. Homes in the original village near Lake Peachtree are now 50-plus years old, and many still have original metal ducts. Smoke gets sucked into the return air and circulated everywhere. We inspect and often clean every duct before deodorizing.
- Cart-path drainage affecting firefighting water runoff. Homes along the cart-path corridors near Kelly Drive sit in low spots where storm drains back up during heavy rain. If a fire occurs during a summer thunderstorm, firefighting water and runoff can pool against foundations and enter crawl spaces. We handle that standing water as part of the fire damage cleanup, because Fayette County’s red clay holds it against your home for days.
- OSB sheathing swelling after fire suppression. Newer homes from the late 1980s through 2000s use OSB sheathing that delaminates and swells when firefighting water sits behind the siding. By the time the smoke clears, you may have structural sheathing damage that looks like a flood hit the wall. We catch that early and document it for your adjuster before it gets worse.
