Damage Restoration Services in Lilburn, GA
When a supply line lets go behind a wall in a 1980s split-level off Killian Hill Road, or a Yellow River feeder creek backs up into a crawl space on the east side of 30047, the first call you make decides how much of your house survives. Wade’s Restoration answers that call with a live person, every time, and Wade himself is usually on the road to Lilburn within the hour. He’s been doing this since 2007, he publishes his address and license number, and his cell number is the one on the truck. Call (888) 690-3757 and you’ll talk to a person, not a queue.

Why Lilburn Homeowners Choose Wade’s Restoration of Atlanta
Lilburn is the kind of place where people still ask their neighbors who they used for a job. Wade Ferris has built his reputation in neighborhoods like Kenion Forest and Lake Lucerne Estates the old way: he shows up, he tells you what he sees, and he hands you a written scope before any work starts. That matters in a city where a lot of homes have original plumbing from the Reagan administration and a lot of homeowners have been burned once already by a national outfit that quoted one price over the phone and another at the door. Wade’s Restoration carries IICRC credentials, is RIA-affiliated, and every water, fire, and mold job includes the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not done right, he makes it right.
The crews Wade sends are background-checked and uniformed. They’re running professional-grade equipment from Dri-Eaz and Phoenix, not rental shop fans. And Wade takes moisture readings every single day on a water job and gives you the full log at the end. Almost nobody in this trade does that. It’s the kind of thing you appreciate when you’ve lived in Lilburn long enough to know which contractors disappear after the check clears.
Damage Restoration Services We Offer in Lilburn
Water Damage Restoration
A ruptured polybutylene line or an HVAC condensate pan that’s been overflowing for weeks can soak drywall, subfloor, and insulation faster than you’d believe. We extract, dry, and document everything, then hand you a daily moisture log so you know the job is actually done. Learn more about our Water Damage Restoration in Lilburn.
Mold Remediation
Lilburn’s year-round humidity north of 70% means a water intrusion that isn’t dried within 48 hours usually becomes a mold problem. Wade’s crew contains the affected area, removes contaminated material, and treats surfaces so the colony doesn’t return. Learn more about our Mold Remediation in Lilburn.
Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration
Summer lightning strikes on mature pines in older Lilburn neighborhoods are a regular call for us. We board up, clean soot from every surface, and run air scrubbers until the smoke smell is gone, not just masked. Learn more about our Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Lilburn.
Storm & Disaster Restoration
Gwinnett’s summer convective storms dump rain faster than older French drains can move it. We tarp roofs, pump basements, and provide Storm & Disaster Restoration in Lilburn to dry out whatever the storm left behind, usually the same day you call.
Sewage Cleanup
A backed-up main line into a Lilburn basement or crawl space is a health hazard you don’t want to wait on. Our Lilburn Sewage Cleanup team removes the contamination, sanitizes the area, and gets your home safe to live in again.
Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup
Trauma scenes and unattended deaths require more than cleaning; they require safe, discreet, compassionate handling. Wade’s crew offers Lilburn Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup and treats every home with respect.
Reconstruction & Cleanup
After extraction and remediation comes the rebuild: drywall, trim, flooring, paint. Wade’s Lilburn Reconstruction & Cleanup team handles the entire job from first cut to final walkthrough, so you’re not juggling three contractors.

Why Lilburn’s Climate & Housing Affect Damage Restoration
Lilburn sits squarely in Gwinnett County’s late-1970s through mid-1990s build-out corridor. That means a large share of the homes in both 30047 and 30048 were plumbed with polybutylene supply lines during the exact years they were standard practice. Decades of Gwinnett’s mineral-heavy water have been quietly degrading those lines from the inside, and the most common water-damage call in Lilburn isn’t a dramatic flood; it’s a silent poly-line failure behind drywall that’s been leaking for weeks. Meanwhile, the Yellow River corridor running through eastern Lilburn creates a localized flash-flood and crawl-space inundation risk that ridge-top cities like Snellville simply don’t face. Add in summer thunderstorms that hit hard and fast, and you have a town where extraction speed genuinely determines whether you’re dealing with a dry-out or a mold job.
Pricing for Damage Restoration in Lilburn
No honest contractor quotes a restoration job over the phone, but here’s what Lilburn homeowners should expect. Water extraction and drying typically runs $1,200 to $3,800 depending on square footage and how long the water sat. Mold remediation on a contained crawl space or single wall usually lands between $1,500 and $4,500. Fire and smoke cleanup starts around $2,500 and goes up with the size of the burn. Sewage cleanup with sanitizing ranges from $1,800 to $4,000. Every job gets a written scope before work starts, and Wade will walk you through what insurance is likely to cover. Call (888) 690-3757 for a free estimate. Seniors and veterans always get 10% off.

FAQs About Damage Restoration in Lilburn
Wade answers his own phone 24/7, and for water or sewage emergencies he’s usually on the road to any Lilburn address within the hour. Call (888) 690-3757 and you’ll get a person, not a voicemail.
In most cases, yes, and Wade deals with your adjuster directly. You’ll never be the one stuck relaying information between two sides. He documents everything with photos and moisture logs, which makes the claim go smoother.
If the affected area is larger than about ten square feet, or if the moisture source hasn’t been fixed, cleaning alone won’t stop the colony from returning. Lilburn’s humidity makes regrowth almost certain. Get it assessed before you spend money on a fix that won’t hold.
Polybutylene supply line failures. Homes built in 30047 and 30048 during the 1980s and early 1990s often have this original piping, and Gwinnett’s water chemistry has been breaking it down from the inside for decades. The leak usually shows up behind a wall long before you ever see water.
No trip charge inside the county. Wade wants you to call when you have a problem, not hesitate because you’re worried about the cost of getting someone to the door. Estimates are free. Call (888) 690-3757.

What Lilburn 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."
