Why Smyrna Homeowners Choose Wade’s Restoration of Atlanta
Ask anyone on your street. That’s the old way of finding somebody good, and in Smyrna it still works. Homeowners in Williams Park and Forest Hills have dealt with Wade Ferris directly for years, and the reason they call him back is the reason your neighbor recommends him: he shows up, he tells you the truth, and he puts his name on the work. Wade founded this company in 2007, he publishes his address and license number, and he answers his own phone. When a restoration crew shows up at your door, it’s Wade’s crew, background-checked, uniformed, and carrying Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, and XPOWER equipment. No subcontractor roulette. No national-chain call center. Just a local owner who lives with his reputation in the same county you do.
Our reviews from Smyrna homeowners consistently point to the same things: fast arrivals for water emergencies, clear written scopes before work begins, and daily moisture readings that Wade hands you at the end of the job. That last part matters more than people expect. Almost nobody in this trade gives homeowners a full moisture log. Wade does, on every water, fire, and mold job. You see exactly what was wet, how wet it was, and what it took to dry it. That’s the kind of transparency that keeps us busy in this city.
Damage Restoration Services We Offer in Smyrna
Water Damage Restoration
A burst washing machine supply line in a 2000s-era townhome off Windy Hill Road can flood three levels in under an hour. We extract, dry, and restore, and we take daily moisture readings until the job is actually done, not until the equipment gets picked up.
Learn more about our Water Damage Restoration in Smyrna.
Mold Remediation
Smyrna’s humid subtropical air means a small leak behind drywall turns into a mold problem faster than most homeowners expect. We remove the mold, fix the moisture source, and verify the fix with documentation your insurance adjuster can read without a translator.

Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration
After a kitchen fire or an electrical burn in an older ranch home along Atlanta Road, the smoke smell gets into everything: framing, ductwork, soft goods. We clean what can be cleaned, seal what can’t, and rebuild what the fire took.
Learn more about our Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Smyrna.
Storm & Disaster Restoration
Georgia ice storms snap pipes in homes built to Southern thermal standards, and spring thunderstorms put trees through roofs on the South Cobb Drive corridor. We handle Storm & Disaster Restoration in Smyrna, including storm water extraction, tarping, and structural drying, and we deal with your adjuster directly so you don’t have to relay information between two sides.
Sewage Cleanup
A backed-up sanitary line in a 1970s split-level is a biohazard, not a DIY project. That’s why we offer our Sewage Cleanup in Smyrna to remove contaminated material, sanitize the area, and document everything for your insurance carrier. This is work that requires trained people and proper protective gear, and we bring both.
Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup
When something terrible happens in a home, the family left behind needs someone who can operate discreetly, safely, and completely. We handle our Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup in Smyrna with the respect and thoroughness these situations demand, and we work with the proper authorities and insurance carriers throughout.
Reconstruction & Cleanup
After the dryout or the smoke cleanup comes the rebuild: drywall, paint, flooring, trim. We handle our Reconstruction & Cleanup in Smyrna in-house, so you don’t have to hire a second company and manage a handoff between a restoration crew and a builder. One scope, one team, one point of contact: Wade.

Why Smyrna’s Climate & Housing Affect Damage Restoration
Smyrna’s housing stock is split in a way that shapes how restoration work actually gets done here. Along the Atlanta Road and South Cobb Drive corridors, you’ve got 1950s-1970s ranch homes with original crawl-space construction and aging roof decking that lets moisture in slowly, over years. Mold grows in those crawl spaces long before anyone sees it on a wall. Then you’ve got the dense townhome and condo developments from the late-1990s and 2000s redevelopment boom, built quickly and sometimes showing early envelope failures: flashing that wasn’t lapped right, window seals that failed early, shared walls that let a neighbor’s leak become your problem. Wade’s team has worked both housing types for years, and we know what to look for in each before we even open a wall.
The other factor is the weather. Smyrna doesn’t get real snow most winters, so homes here weren’t built like Minnesota houses. When an ice storm rolls through, pipes in exterior walls and unheated crawl spaces freeze and burst, and the water damage hits fast. Combine that with our humid subtropical baseline, and every minor water intrusion in this city needs aggressive mold prevention or the job returns in three months. We build those local realities into our drying protocols from the first day on site.

FAQs About Damage Restoration in Smyrna
For water and sewage emergencies, Wade can typically have a crew on-site within the hour anywhere in Smyrna. The phone is answered by a live person 24/7, and it’s often Wade himself picking up. He’ll tell you what to do in the fifteen minutes before the crew arrives: shut off the water main if you can, kill the power to the affected area, and don’t walk through standing water if there’s any chance it touched electrical. Call (888) 690-3757 for an ETA right now.
Most Smyrna homeowners policies cover sudden and accidental water damage, like a burst pipe or an appliance leak. Sewage backup and gradual leaks often require specific endorsements. Wade deals with your adjuster directly, sends photo documentation and moisture logs, and makes sure the adjuster sees exactly what we see. You don’t have to become a middleman relaying messages. Call (888) 690-3757 and we’ll help you talk to your carrier before you commit to anything.
That depends on what got wet and how long it sat. In Smyrna’s climate, drywall that stays damp for 48 hours is a mold risk, period. If water sat overnight, you probably need professional drying, not just towels and fans. Wade will tell you honestly if you can handle something yourself or if you need equipment and a crew. He’s never upsold anyone in this city, and he’s not about to start. A free second opinion on any written estimate is available anytime.
This is one of the most complicated parts of restoration work in Smyrna, and most contractors don’t handle it well. When a pipe bursts in one unit of a townhome community, the claim can involve your policy, your neighbor’s policy, the HOA master policy, and even a commercial umbrella. Wade knows Cobb County HOA common-element boundary rules, and he communicates the scope and the damage in language that gets claims authorized. He’ll deal with the adjusters and the property manager so you don’t have to.
Wade Ferris is the owner, and he answers his own phone. His name is on the side of the truck, his address is published, and he’s going to run into you again at the hardware store on a Saturday. Every water, fire, and mold job comes with a 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if it’s not done right, we make it right, and one call brings Wade back. No national call center, no subcontractors you’ve never met, no quote that changes when the crew walks through the door. To wade is what you do through a flooded basement at two in the morning, and it happens to be his name. Call (888) 690-3757 and talk to the man himself.

What Smyrna 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."
