Why Kennesaw Homeowners Choose Wade’s Restoration of Atlanta
Wade Ferris started this company in 2007, and his name has been on the truck, the contract, and the phone line ever since. He publishes his name, address, and license number. That’s rare in the restoration trade, and it matters when someone is about to tear into your walls. Homeowners in neighborhoods like Legacy Park and Summerhour have called Wade because a neighbor gave them his cell number, not because an ad popped up on a screen. That’s how work spreads here.
Wade’s crew is background-checked and uniformed. The equipment is professional-grade, the same stuff serious restoration firms use: Dri-Eaz dehumidifiers, Phoenix fans, XPOWER air movers. Wade himself is IICRC-certified, and the company holds RIA affiliation and IFA recognition. But what people remember is the moisture log he hands them at the end of a job. Every reading, every day, written down. Almost nobody else in this trade does that. It takes five minutes and it tells you exactly what was done to your house. He also speaks directly with your insurance adjuster, so you’re not stuck being the messenger between a carrier and a contractor. And every water, fire, and mold restoration job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not done right, Wade makes it right. One phone call brings him back.
No question is too small and no call goes to voicemail. Wade answers his own phone, including at two in the morning. To wade is what you do through a flooded basement at two in the morning, and it happens to be his name.
Damage Restoration Services We Offer in Kennesaw
Water Damage Restoration
Burst supply lines, failed water heaters, appliance leaks, storm water intrusion. We extract the water, dry the structure with professional equipment, and document every moisture reading so you know the job was done right. In Kennesaw’s crawl-space homes on red clay, drying is not optional. It’s the difference between a one-week inconvenience and a long-term mold problem.

Mold Remediation
Mold follows water, especially in Georgia’s summer humidity. We find the source of the moisture, contain the affected area, remove contaminated material, and dry the space to a point where mold can’t return. We do not spray and walk away. We fix the reason the mold showed up.

Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration
Smoke gets into everything: studs, insulation, ductwork, clothing. We clean what can be saved, remove what can’t, and use the right equipment to pull smoke odor out of the structure, not just mask it. A kitchen fire in a Kennesaw home means smoke odor in the attic and crawl space, not just the kitchen.

Storm & Disaster Restoration
Wind-driven rain, downed trees, hail damage. When a spring thunderstorm rolls off the foothills and punches through a roof on the west side of Kennesaw, water is moving through the house within minutes. That’s why our Storm & Disaster Restoration in Kennesaw includes tarping roofs, extracting water, and starting structural drying the same day.
Sewage Cleanup
Sewage backups are a health hazard, not just a mess. We offer our Sewage Cleanup in Kennesaw to remove contaminated water and material, disinfect the affected area, and dry the structure. The affected area is contained so sewage doesn’t get tracked through the rest of your home.
Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup
Some situations require more than cleaning. We handle our Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup in Kennesaw with the same discretion and thoroughness we bring to every job. This is sensitive work, and we treat it that way.
Reconstruction & Cleanup
After the drying is done, our Reconstruction & Cleanup in Kennesaw starts. Drywall, flooring, paint, trim. We take the job from a wet, smoke-damaged shell back to a home. This work is scoped, priced, and scheduled in writing, like a remodel, because that’s what it is.

Why Kennesaw’s Climate & Housing Affect Damage Restoration
Kennesaw’s housing stock has a specific profile. The residential build-out peaked from the late 1980s through the early 2000s along the I-75 and Barrett Parkway corridor, which means a large share of homes in the 30144 and 30152 ZIP codes were plumbed with polybutylene supply lines. That material was marketed as the pipe of the future, and it turned out to be something else entirely. It degrades from the inside out, and it has now passed its expected service life. When it fails, it fails suddenly, and it fails catastrophically. A pinhole becomes a rupture, and a rupture becomes thousands of gallons in a kitchen. Wade sees burst-poly losses in Kennesaw at a rate that surprises people who didn’t buy here. Every water job in these older subdivisions carries a secondary obligation: flagging remaining poly piping so the homeowner isn’t back in the same situation next year.
Then there’s the geography. Kennesaw sits in the foothills at roughly 1,050 feet of elevation, which funnels spring and early summer thunderstorm cells tracking northeast off the Talladega Highlands directly over the area. Wind-driven roof damage and structural breaches are a leading loss type. The dew point from May through September frequently sits above 70 degrees. That means a delay of even 24 hours in getting drying equipment placed produces visible mold colonization in crawl spaces and wall cavities. Houses here are largely brick-front vinyl-sided construction on crawl spaces cut into Piedmont red clay, with HVAC units staged in attics. Any roof breach sends water through the attic and into the ceiling below, while the crawl space holds moisture against the subfloor. The older sections near downtown Kennesaw along the Cherokee Street corridor include 1950s to 1970s pier-and-beam homes where crawl-space moisture intrusion is chronic rather than event-driven. These houses need drying strategies that account for what’s under them, not just what’s inside them.
There’s one more Kennesaw-specific pattern worth knowing about. Subdivisions built on the eastern and southern slopes of Kennesaw Mountain’s ridgeline, especially in 30152, sit on clay soils that shed water laterally into crawl spaces rather than letting it percolate. What looks like a single stormwater intrusion event is often something that has been happening for years, silently rotting sistered rim joists and subfloor sheathing long before anyone upstairs notices a smell. When Wade opens up a crawl space in those neighborhoods, he’s not surprised by what he finds. But he documents it, shows the homeowner, and deals with the adjuster directly. That’s the whole job.
Pricing for Damage Restoration in Kennesaw
No honest restoration company will quote a full water or fire job over the phone. What Wade will tell you is how the work gets priced: by the scope, written down, agreed to before work starts. Small water extraction jobs in Kennesaw can run anywhere from a couple hundred dollars to several thousand once dry-out equipment, containment, and framing repairs are factored in. Mold remediation on a crawl space in a 1980s home off Barrett Parkway typically starts around $1,200 and goes up based on the size of the affected area and how long the moisture has been present. Fire restoration depends heavily on what burned and where the smoke traveled. Every job starts with a written scope. No number changes because the crew is already inside your house. That’s a promise Wade makes because he lives with the same concerns you do.
And there are standing offers worth knowing about: $40 off any repair over $200, a free second opinion on any written estimate, no trip charge inside the county, and a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans. Ask about them when you call.

FAQs About Damage Restoration in Kennesaw
Most Kennesaw calls get an extraction crew on site within the hour. Wade answers the phone himself, day or night, and he heads out as soon as he hangs up. In a city where summer humidity turns standing water into mold fast, speed isn’t a selling point. It’s the job. Call (888) 690-3757 and see for yourself.
Most water and storm damage in Kennesaw is covered by standard homeowners policies, though every policy has its own exclusions and deductibles. Mold coverage varies more. Wade deals with the adjuster directly, sends the photo documentation and moisture logs, and works from the scope the carrier approves. He has been on the phone with adjusters for nearly two decades, and he has learned what they need to see. Call (888) 690-3757 and we’ll walk through what your policy says.
In older Kennesaw homes with pier-and-beam foundations or clay-slope drainage, chronic crawl space moisture usually means more than surface mold. The right approach is to find the water source first: slope drainage, a failing vapor barrier, a supply line leak. Then treat the affected surfaces. Wade takes moisture readings and shows you exactly where the problem is before recommending scope. Sometimes it’s cleanup. Sometimes it’s more. You’ll get the numbers, not a sales pitch. Call (888) 690-3757 for a straight answer.
Bring it. Wade offers a free second opinion on any written estimate in Kennesaw, with no trip charge inside the county. He will go through it line by line and tell you if the scope is right, light, or loaded. No pressure. No charge for the assessment. Call (888) 690-3757 and mention the estimate.
We do the whole job: extraction, drying, remediation, and reconstruction. Drywall, flooring, paint, trim. That matters because the same person who dried the walls knows how they went back together. Wade hands you one moisture log at the end of a water job, and one warranty-backed promise at the end of a rebuild. Call (888) 690-3757 for a free estimate.

What Kennesaw 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."
