Fast, Reliable Storm & Disaster Restoration Across Snellville
When a storm blows through Snellville, the damage doesn’t wait, and neither do we. Wade’s Restoration of Atlanta has crews working throughout the 30039 and 30078 ZIP codes, and we know these neighborhoods well enough to get to your house fast. Call (888) 690-3757 and you’ll get a live person, not a voicemail. We handle storm damage cleanup, flood extraction, emergency board-up, and roof tarping, and we do it with the kind of directness you’d expect from a neighbor, not a call center.
Storm work in Snellville has its own rhythm. The red clay holds water against foundations. The older subdivisions hide plumbing that’s been waiting decades to fail. We’ll walk through what that means for your home and what it actually costs to fix.
Why Wade’s Restoration of Atlanta Is Snellville’s Preferred Storm & Disaster Restoration Company
Wade Ferris founded this company in 2007, put his name on the truck, and started answering the phone himself. That hasn’t changed. When you call about storm damage in Snellville, you’re not getting routed through three states to a scheduling center. You’re getting a company that has been pulling wet drywall and tarping roofs in Gwinnett County long enough to know exactly which subdivisions back up to which creeks and which streets flood first along Scenic Highway after a hard rain.
Our reputation in Snellville gets around the way things get around here: at the supermarket, at church, at the gas station off Stone Mountain Highway. Wade’s crew is background-checked and uniformed, and we show up with professional-grade drying equipment from Dri-Eaz and Phoenix, not rental fans. The 90-Day Done Right Promise is standard on every water, fire, and mold restoration job, and it’s in writing. If it’s not done right, Wade comes back and makes it right. That’s the whole deal.
We also carry our own IICRC, RIA, and IFA credentials, and every technician knows how to read a moisture log. Wade takes moisture readings every day on every job and hands you the full log at the end. Nobody else in the trade around here does that consistently.
Our Storm & Disaster Restoration Services in Snellville
Our Storm & Disaster Restoration team handles the full range of what a bad Georgia thunderstorm or freeze does to a house. Here are the services Snellville homeowners call us for most often.
Flood Damage Restoration
Flooding in Snellville is a different animal from the newer subdivisions over toward Lawrenceville. The red clay around here doesn’t drain, it holds. After a hard storm, water pools against slab foundations and works its way into crawlspaces, where it sits against floor joists and subflooring until somebody does something about it. We pull standing water, set up containment and dehumidification, and stay on the job until moisture readings return to normal. Daily moisture readings are logged and handed to you at the end.
Storm Damage Cleanup
Hail, straight-line winds, and falling limbs all show up in Snellville’s spring and summer storm season. When wind tears shingles off and rain follows the new opening down the roof valley into your ceiling, you need more than a mop. We cut out wet drywall, dry the cavity correctly, and remove storm debris. For older Snellville homes, we watch closely for what else the water might have found on the way down.
Emergency Board-Up
When a tree limb comes through a bedroom window on a Saturday night, the first job is keeping weather and animals on the outside. We board up openings fast, work with your insurance adjuster on temporary repair scope, and make sure the house is stable before drying equipment goes in. This is one of those services where minutes matter in Snellville, especially with the humidity we get from late spring through early fall. A boarded-up house is a dry house.
Roof Tarping
A tarp isn’t a permanent fix, but it’s the difference between a small repair and a two-room water loss when the next storm rolls through. After wind damage or hail compromises a roof in Snellville, we get water off the floor first, then tarp the damaged section so interior drying can proceed. The tarps hold through another storm; they’re not blue-plastic theater. We want your ceilings to stay dry while your adjuster processes the claim.

Trusted Brands We Service in Snellville
Wade’s Restoration runs professional-grade equipment on every job: Dri-Eaz dehumidifiers and air movers, Phoenix axial fans, and XPOWER extraction units. These are the brands restoration professionals actually use, not the homeowner-grade machines from a big-box store. For Snellville customers, that means faster drying, lower secondary damage, and a moisture log that holds up with your insurance company. We stock replacement filters, hoses, and accessories for these units, so we’re not waiting on a parts order when your crawlspace is wet and the humidity is climbing.
Common Storm & Disaster Restoration Problems We See in Snellville Homes
- Polybutylene supply lines failing during or after storms. The 1980s and 1990s subdivisions across the 30039 and 30078 ZIP codes are full of these gray plastic pipes, and Gwinnett County’s chlorinated water has spent decades making them brittle from the inside out. A storm doesn’t have to hit the pipe directly; water weight shifting the ground can be enough to crack a line that was already doomed.
- Red clay pooling water against slab foundations. Snellville’s heavy clay soil doesn’t absorb storm runoff the way sandy soil does. Water ponds along the foundation line, then seeps under the sill plate into the crawlspace. Within two days in our humid climate, that’s mold.
- Split attic supply lines after hard freezes. Older Snellville homes often have minimal insulation around attic water runs. A single cold snap can split a supply line unnoticed, and if nobody’s home, that’s a multi-room loss by the time someone finds it.
- Hidden moisture behind drywall 48 hours after any water intrusion. In our humid subtropical climate, a small roof leak or plumbing failure doesn’t stay small. Warped baseboards, a musty smell, or staining at the ceiling-wall joint is the visible part; the real problem is trapped moisture becoming an active mold colony behind the wall.

FAQs - Storm & Disaster Restoration in Snellville
Polybutylene pipes are common in Snellville because the 1980s and 1990s subdivisions in the 30039 and 30078 ZIP codes were built with them, and decades of exposure to Gwinnett County’s chlorinated municipal water has made the plastic brittle from the inside out. A severe storm doesn’t always cause the pipe to fail; often the shifting ground or added water weight is the final stress on a pipe that was already past its service life. Call (888) 690-3757 if you suspect polybutylene in your home, and we’ll walk you through what to check next.
In Snellville’s humid subtropical climate, mold can begin colonizing wet drywall and framing within 48 hours after storm flooding. That’s the outer edge of the window. In a damp, warm crawlspace after a summer storm, visible mold growth sometimes appears within 36 hours. The fix is fast extraction, professional drying equipment, and daily moisture readings until the wood is truly dry, not just the surface. Call (888) 690-3757 for a same-day response.
Shut off power to the affected rooms if you can safely reach the breaker box, move valuables out of the water path, and call (888) 690-3757 for emergency board-up and temporary tarping. In Snellville’s storm season, the difference between a contained repair and a full room replacement is usually measured in hours, not days. Our crews can have your opening boarded and the interior drying within a few hours of your call.
Yes, especially in older Snellville homes with minimal insulation around attic supply runs. A single hard freeze can split several supply lines at once, and if the homeowners are away, the water can run for days before anyone notices. We’ve opened walls in Snellville subdivisions near Scenic Highway and found multiple splits in the same attic run from a single January cold snap. Call (888) 690-3757 if you suspect a freeze-related leak, and we’ll get water extraction and drying started while you sort out the plumbing repair.
Yes, more often than homeowners expect. When storm water sits inside a Snellville home for even two days, the humidity and heat combine to create the exact conditions mold needs. Our teams regularly handle both water extraction and mold remediation on the same storm response, and Wade deals with your insurance adjuster directly. That means you’re not relaying messages between the restoration company and the carrier. If you’ve had any water intrusion longer than 48 hours, call (888) 690-3757 for an assessment before it spreads.
