Fast, Reliable Storm & Disaster Restoration Across North Atlanta
When a storm tears through North Atlanta, you need a crew that knows 30319 before the wind even stops. We’re Wade’s Restoration, and we’ve spent over 29 years cleaning up the specific mess this part of metro Atlanta makes: loblolly pines through workshop roofs, Peachtree Creek tributaries backing up into 1950s crawlspaces, and roof decking peeled back on brick ranches near Dresden Drive. Call (888) 690-3757 and you’ll reach a live person, not a queue. Wade heads out himself.
Why Wade’s Restoration of Atlanta Is North Atlanta’s Preferred Storm & Disaster Restoration Company
We’re not a franchise. Wade Ferris founded this company in 2007, and his name is on the truck, his address is public, and he’s the one who answers his own phone at 2 a.m. That matters in North Atlanta, where homeowners have been burned by national outfits quoting one price over the phone and another at the door. Ask anyone on your street. You’ll find someone who knows Wade.
North Atlanta is our backyard. We know that homes near Brookhaven Village sit on shallow, unlined crawlspaces that pool water from minor tributaries feeding Peachtree Creek. We know that a “small leak” call often turns out to be weeks-old standing water plus black mold already working through subfloor joists. That’s why we scope the crawlspace before quoting, every single time. We don’t guess. We look.
The 90-Day Done Right Promise applies to every water, fire, and mold restoration job we do in North Atlanta. If it’s not done right, we make it right, in writing. One call brings Wade back. No runaround, no corporate escalation maze.
Our Storm & Disaster Restoration Services in North Atlanta
Storm Damage Cleanup
North Atlanta’s dense urban tree canopy is beautiful until a summer thunderstorm sends a 40-year-old oak through your carport. We handle debris removal, structural assessment, and full cleanup. In 30319, storm damage cleanup typically runs $900-$3,200 depending on the number of trees, roof damage, and whether crawlspace water is involved. We work alongside your adjuster directly, so you’re never the one relaying messages between two sides.
Flood Damage Restoration
Flooding here isn’t just named storms. Roughly 50 inches of rain falls on North Atlanta annually, and the intense May-September afternoon storms overwhelm aging gutters and downspouts on mid-century homes. Water finds the shallow crawlspaces first. Flood damage restoration in North Atlanta generally costs $1,800-$6,500, with the upper range reflecting cases where groundwater sat for days before we arrived. Extraction starts fast because the humid subtropical air means mold is already moving by day three.
Emergency Board-Up
When wind peels back roof decking or a tree limb opens a wall, your home is exposed to weather, animals, and anyone driving past. We board up immediately. Emergency board-up in North Atlanta costs $350-$900 depending on how many openings and the height involved. We use heavy-duty plywood, not cheap OSB that sags. Wade’s crew will be out within hours, because the clock starts when the damage happens, not when you finally get through to someone.
Roof Tarping
Roof tarping after storm damage in North Atlanta runs $450-$1,100 for a typical split-level or ranch home. We use reinforced poly sheeting rated for the ice storms that hit Atlanta harder than any snowstorm ever does. A proper tarp job keeps water out while your adjuster works through the claim, and it buys you the week or two needed to line up a roofer without your ceilings coming down.

When we say same-day, we mean it, not “same week.”
Common Storm & Disaster Restoration Problems We See in North Atlanta Homes
- Hidden standing water in unlined crawlspaces. Many 1950s-60s brick ranches near Dresden Drive have shallow, unpaved crawlspaces that pool water from Peachtree Creek’s minor tributaries. A homeowner reports a small leak, and we find weeks-old water plus active mold on subfloor joists.
- Fallen loblolly pines crushing detached workshops and carports. These trees are tall, heavy, and shallow-rooted. When saturated ground and 40 mph gusts hit, they take down lightweight structures that newer suburbs simply don’t have at this volume.
- Finished basements without waterproofing membranes. Basements retrofitted in the 1980s-90s as living space were rarely done with modern membranes. After heavy rain, groundwater intrusion becomes a recurring mold problem, not a one-time event.
- Ice-storm damage that surprises people who’ve only seen snowstorms. Atlanta’s ice-loading events snap branches, pull down power lines, and freeze pipes in ways rare snow never does. Ice weighs far more per inch than snow, and gutters and porch roofs fail under the load.

FAQs - Storm & Disaster Restoration in North Atlanta
Because many homes near Dresden Drive and Brookhaven Village sit on shallow, unlined crawlspaces that pool water from Peachtree Creek tributaries. A quote without scoping misses hidden standing water and the mold already climbing the joists. We scope before quoting, always. Call (888) 690-3757 and we’ll set up a time.
30319 has one of metro Atlanta’s densest mature tree canopies, and loblolly pines grow tall with shallow root systems. A saturated 60-foot pine falling on a detached workshop with a lightweight roof causes structural damage newer, less-treed suburbs rarely see. We reinforce doors and tracks when we rebuild, so the next storm doesn’t undo the repair.
In North Atlanta’s humid subtropical climate, active mold growth can begin within 48-72 hours of water intrusion in an unconditioned basement. That’s why we treat mold remediation as part of every water-damage job, not an add-on you call about a week later. The sooner you call (888) 690-3757, the less you’ll pay for it.
Ice weighs roughly 30 pounds per cubic foot versus snow’s 10-15, and it loads up gutters, porch roofs, and tree branches far beyond design limits. Atlanta’s ice storms snap limbs and take down service lines in ways a six-inch snowfall never does. If ice is predicted, put our number in your phone now: (888) 690-3757.
Yes. We run storm debris removal, board-up, tarping, and mold remediation together, because North Atlanta’s storm damage and crawlspace water are usually the same event. One crew, one scope, one written quote. Call (888) 690-3757 and Wade will tell you exactly what needs to happen and what it costs.
