Call (888) 690-3757 and Wade or someone from his crew will be on the road to your place fast.
We know Mableton’s streets because we work them every week. The 1960s and 1970s ranch homes off Floyd Road and Mableton Parkway, the split-levels backing up to Nickajack Creek, the townhome clusters with tight side access near the East-West Connector. When a toilet overflows or a main line backs up, you need a crew that already understands what’s under your house before the door opens. That’s what we bring.
Why Wade’s Restoration of Atlanta Is Mableton’s Preferred Sewage Cleanup Company
Wade Ferris started this company in 2007, and he still answers his own phone. That matters in Mableton, where the city only incorporated in December 2023 and a lot of homeowners are navigating permitting and repair questions that never existed before. You don’t need a call center routing you to a subcontractor from three counties away. You need a straight answer from someone who will be the one walking your crawl space with a moisture meter.
Our Sewage Cleanup team works the older ranch neighborhoods, the townhome rows, and the newer pockets around Veterans Memorial Highway. We show up in marked trucks, uniformed, background-checked, and we hand you a written scope before anything gets cut or removed. No bait pricing on the phone and a different number at the door. That’s the whole reason Wade puts his name and face on the company.
Every sewage job includes daily moisture readings and a full log at the end, photo documentation for your insurance file, and direct communication with your adjuster. You’re not stuck relaying messages between two parties. And the 90-Day Done Right Promise is stamped in writing: if it isn’t right, Wade comes back and makes it right.
Our Sewage Cleanup Services in Mableton
Sewage Backup Cleanup
A sewage backup in a Mableton ranch or split-level usually means the main line under the slab or crawl space backed up and black water came up through a floor drain, tub, or toilet. We extract the standing waste first, then cut and remove contaminated drywall, insulation, and flooring. Every affected surface gets an EPA-registered antimicrobial treatment. In homes off Woodward Road and along the older subdivisions, we almost always find the original cast-iron or clay piping has finally failed.
Toilet Overflow Cleanup
Toilet overflows in Mableton homes hit harder in the 1960s-to-1980s housing stock because bathrooms often sit above crawl spaces with fiberglass insulation that soaks up waste like a sponge. We pull the contaminated batt insulation, sanitize the joists, and dry the area with Phoenix and Dri-Eaz equipment until readings hit dry standard. If the overflow ran for more than a few minutes, the subfloor usually needs to come out too.
Septic Failure Cleanup
Parts of Mableton, especially the larger lots off Buckner Road and areas that were county land for decades, still run on septic. When a septic system backs up, black water can surface in the yard and track back under the house. We handle the interior cleanup and coordinate with a licensed septic contractor so the extraction and the system repair don’t work against each other. Same-day response matters here because that standing waste doesn’t wait for a schedule.
Black Water Extraction
Black water is sewage water, period. It carries bacteria, viruses, and parasites, and it gets worse by the hour. We run truck-mounted and portable extraction units, then bring in air movers and dehumidifiers sized for your square footage. For Mableton townhomes with alley-load access, we run smaller portable units in and out through narrow gates without dragging hoses through your neighbor’s yard.

Trusted Brands We Service in Mableton
Wade’s crew runs Dri-Eaz dehumidifiers, Phoenix air movers, and XPOWER blowers on just about every sewage job in Mableton. That’s not a flex. It’s the equipment that gets a 1970s crawl space actually dry instead of just damp-to-the-touch. The older ranch homes near Clay Road and Hicks Road have clay-heavy soil that holds moisture long after the standing water is gone. Our techs know how to read those conditions and adjust run times accordingly. We stock filters, hoses, and replacement parts locally, which means less waiting when a unit goes down mid-job.
Common Sewage Cleanup Problems We See in Mableton Homes
- Crawl space sewage saturating clay soil. Mableton sits on dense red Georgia clay. When a sewage line fails under a house, the waste doesn’t percolate away. It pools against the foundation and wicks into the sill plates and joists. We routinely have to remove several inches of contaminated soil before drying can even begin.
- Original 1970s vapor barriers trapping waste and moisture. In older Mableton ranch homes, the vapor barrier under the crawl space is often the original thin polyethylene, torn and useless. After a sewage backup, that barrier holds black water against the ground and keeps humidity through the roof. Full replacement is almost always part of the scope.
- Tight alley-load access in dense 1960s and 1980s ranch clusters. A lot of Mableton’s postwar subdivisions packed homes close together with narrow side yards. That forces our extraction units to run longer on portable power, and it means every piece of equipment has to be carried in by hand. We plan for that before we arrive.
- Unpermitted additions hiding sewage leaks. Because Mableton spent decades as unincorporated Cobb County, a fair number of homes have additions and DIY retrofits that never went through inspections. Sewage leaks hide behind those walls for weeks or months, and you don’t find them until we open the framing and trace the stain.

FAQs - Sewage Cleanup in Mableton
Since Mableton incorporated in December 2023, structural repairs tied to sewage cleanup now route through the new city permitting office instead of Cobb County’s established building department. That adds approval time and uncertainty. If your job needs floor joist repair, sill plate replacement, or crawl space structural work, expect the permitting step to add days to the timeline. We handle the paperwork, but the city processing time is what it is.
Because the original 1970s vapor barriers under those ranches are thin, torn, and trapping moisture against clay-heavy soil. Once black water saturates a crawl space, the contaminated soil has to go, and the only durable fix after that is a proper vapor barrier installation. Otherwise you’re six months away from mold and the same damp smell. Call (888) 690-3757 for an assessment.
Yes. We run smaller portable extraction units and carry equipment in by hand for Mableton townhomes with narrow side yards and alley-load garages. The work takes a little longer and sometimes costs a bit more in labor, but it gets done right. Just tell us about the access when you call.
We use EPA-registered antimicrobials and disinfectants applied to every contaminated surface, plus air scrubbers running during and after removal. For crawl spaces specifically, we remove contaminated soil and insulation, treat the framing, then dry with Dri-Eaz dehumidifiers and XPOWER blowers until moisture readings hit dry standard. Every day’s readings go in your log.
