Fast, Reliable Reconstruction & Cleanup Across Mountain Park
When a tree limb goes through your roof in Mountain Park, or a hard rain sends granite runoff into your crawl space, you need a reconstruction crew that knows exactly what they’re walking into. Wade’s Restoration of Atlanta has seen this same damage profile play out across Mountain Park hundreds of times since Wade started the company in 2007. One call to (888) 690-3757 gets you a live person, usually Wade himself. He’ll tell you how fast he can get to your street in Mountain Park, and he’ll actually show up.
Every job here has a wrinkle the flatter parts of Gwinnett just don’t have. That’s why we approach Reconstruction & Cleanup in Mountain Park differently than a crew that mostly works Lilburn or Snellville. The rock is right under the surface. The trees are older and heavier than almost anywhere else in the metro.
Why Wade’s Restoration of Atlanta Is Mountain Park’s Preferred Reconstruction & Cleanup Company
Wade’s Restoration isn’t a franchise running calls from a call center in another state. Wade Ferris is 29 years into this trade in the Atlanta metro, and his name is the one on the side of the truck that pulls up in Mountain Park. He published his address and license number because he wants you to know exactly who you’re hiring. That’s not a marketing line. It’s the same accountability your parents counted on.
In Mountain Park specifically, we’re known for the jobs other companies walked away from or quoted without actually looking at the granite problem. When a 1960s split-level takes a whole oak limb through the ridge line, the damage isn’t just at the hole. The water followed the framing into the lower level. The vapor barrier was already shot. And the insurance adjuster is asking questions the homeowner shouldn’t have to answer alone.
Wade deals with the adjuster himself. You won’t be stuck as the operator in a game of telephone between your insurer and a contractor who’s hard to reach. And if something wasn’t done right, the 90-Day Done Right Promise is in writing: Wade comes back and makes it right. One call. That’s it.
Response time to Mountain Park matters. After a storm, the streets off Rockbridge Road and Five Forks Trickum get hammered. We’re not the crew that arrives three days later after the drywall has already wicked water halfway up the studs. Wade can have extraction running inside the hour when the situation calls for it.
Our Reconstruction & Cleanup Services in Mountain Park
Reconstruction in Mountain Park is rarely a single trade. Water came in. Something structural got hit. The carpet is acting as a wick. The drywall is done. Here’s how we handle it, end to end.
Full-Service Reconstruction
When a tree strike or a flooded crawl space has opened up finished living areas in your Mountain Park home, the rebuild has to account for what’s beneath the house and what’s above it. We scope the full job before work starts, in writing. Framing repairs to older roof decking get sized for ice-load reality, not just patched to match the original 1974 lumber. Crawl space work includes vapor barrier replacement when the original is compromised, and we won’t skip that step because it’s easier not to. In Mountain Park, that’s not an optional upgrade. It’s the difference between a one-time rebuild and a mold problem that returns next spring.
Drywall & Flooring Repair
Most Mountain Park homes were built between the 1950s and 1980s, which means original drywall, original subfloor, and original hardwood in a lot of cases. After water intrusion, we replace saturated drywall and insulation rather than trying to dry them indefinitely. For flooring in below-grade rooms, especially split-level lowers that sit at grade on the downhill side, we usually recommend replacement over salvage after any significant runoff event. Carpet and padding that dry on the surface hold moisture against the slab underneath. You won’t see it. You’ll smell it in August.
Contents Restoration & Pack-Out
When a storm or flood hits a Mountain Park home, the furniture and belongings soaked up the same water the framing did. We pack out, inventory, and clean what can be saved, and we photograph everything for your claim. Your grandmother’s cedar chest that caught the ceiling leak from the oak limb: that gets documented, cleaned, and returned. Items that can’t be saved are itemized for the adjuster with replacement values. Wade’s crew has made hundreds of insurance claims easier to settle because the photos and lists were done right the first time.
Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning
After reconstruction dust settles, or after a minor water issue that didn’t require carpet replacement, carpet and upholstery in Mountain Park homes need a deep clean with professional extraction equipment. For homes with kids, pets, and Georgia red clay tracked in from the yard, we run XPOWER air movers to speed dry times after cleaning so you aren’t walking on damp carpet for two days. This is especially important in below-grade spaces where the slab keeps the room cooler and slows evaporation on its own.

Trusted Brands We Service in Mountain Park
The equipment matters when drying a Mountain Park crawl space or a split-level lower that sits on granite. We run Dri-Eaz dehumidifiers, Phoenix air movers, and Injectidry injection drying systems on every structural drying job, not rented equipment from a box store. Wade keeps the gear maintained, and because we know Mountain Park’s older homes have tighter access points and lower ceiling clearances than newer construction in the suburbs, we stage the equipment so it actually fits the room. You’ll see the same brands on our truck that the best restoration crews in the Southeast run.
Common Reconstruction & Cleanup Problems We See in Mountain Park Homes
Mountain Park has a damage profile we don’t see to this degree in most of Gwinnett. It’s the combination of rock and roots.
- Whole-tree strikes on occupied homes after ice storms. Mature oaks and hickories rooted in shallow, rocky soil load up with ice and fail at the trunk or major limb. The hole in the roof is urgent, but the water streaming through the ceiling is what ruins the living space below.
- Crawl space flooding from granite-runoff after a hard thunderstorm. The impermeable granite just below the surface sends water sideways into crawl spaces instead of letting it percolate down. If the vapor barrier is original or torn, that water wicks into floor joists and subfloor.
- Original vapor barriers left in place during rebuilds. This is probably the most common and most avoidable mistake we see in Mountain Park. A water cleanup crew dries the crawl space, pats themselves on the back, and leaves a 1970s vapor barrier that’s full of gaps. Months later, the mold smell is back.
- Below-grade carpet and padding dried but not replaced after runoff floods. In split-level lowers, the pad sits on concrete and never actually dries out in Georgia humidity. We pull and replace it rather than pretend a fan solved the problem.

FAQs - Reconstruction & Cleanup in Mountain Park
Mountain Park homes need structural shoring after whole-tree strikes because the community’s large-diameter oaks and hickories root into shallow, rocky soil that cannot anchor them the way deeper Piedmont soils can in Snellville, so whole trunks and major limbs fail under ice load and hit roofs with force older roof decking was never designed to take. Before any drywall goes back up, we check the roof framing and load path. If the original decking is undersized for the kind of impact an ice-loaded limb delivers, we shore or re-frame it rather than patch and hope. Call (888) 690-3757 and we’ll look at what actually got hit before the adjuster closes your claim.
Yes, replace the original vapor barrier in a 1970s Mountain Park ranch during any reconstruction that touches the crawl space. The original poly was probably 6-mil and is almost certainly torn, brittle, or pulled away from the foundation walls by decades of granite-runoff and humidity. Putting new subfloor and drywall over a crawl space that still wicks moisture through a failed barrier is how you get mold back inside a year. We include barrier replacement in the written scope, and we document it with photos you can hand to your adjuster.
Mountain Park’s dense mature hardwood canopy drives drywall repair costs up after storms because water is often already flowing through the ceiling cavity at the time of the tree strike, which means the affected drywall area is larger than the visible hole and often extends into insulation, base trim, and sometimes flooring below. We cut out damp drywall to the true wet edge, not to the edge of the visible stain. That’s why two neighbors with similar-looking ceiling damage can end up with different scopes. The canopy means the water travels farther through the framing before it shows up as a stain.
Usually no, especially when the carpet and pad sat in runoff water that poured through a crawl space and up through the slab or wall line. In a Mountain Park split-level lower, the concrete holds the pad wet long after the surface feels dry to the touch. We save carpet when the water was clean and we get there within hours with extraction and fans; we do not try to save carpet and pad that soaked in Georgia clay runoff overnight. The cost to replace it is less than the mold issue you’ll fight for years if you keep it.
For a tree-strike reconstruction in Mountain Park, expect daily moisture readings, damage photos taken before any tear-out, an itemized scope in writing, and direct communication between Wade and your adjuster. Your job is not to become a claims adjuster. Your job is to call your insurer and then call us. Wade will measure, photograph, log the drying with the same Dri-Eaz and Phoenix equipment readings every day, and give you the full moisture log at the end of the job. Almost nobody else in this trade does that. It’s specifically what gets underpaid claims paid correctly. Call (888) 690-3757 early, because the quality of the documentation improves when we can photograph the damage before anything is disturbed.
