Why Union City Homeowners Choose Wade’s Restoration of Atlanta
Wade’s Restoration is owner-operated, not a franchise. Wade Ferris started this company in 2007, and his name is on the truck, his address is published, and he answers his own cell. If you see him at the Publix on Jonesboro Road, he’s the guy who’ll ask how your subfloor dried out. That’s the accountability you want when somebody’s pulling drywall out of your house.
Homeowners in Oakley Township and the subdivisions off Camp Creek Parkway have called us after bad experiences with national outfits that quoted one price on the phone and another at the door. We do it differently. You get a written scope of work before anything starts. On every water, fire, and mold job, that document includes our 90-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, Wade makes it right, in writing. No fine print, no runaround.
Our crew is background-checked and uniformed, and we’re IICRC-certified, RIA-affiliated, and IFA-recognized. The equipment is professional grade: Dri-Eaz dehumidifiers, Phoenix air movers, XPOWER extraction units. And Wade takes moisture readings every single day and hands you the full log at the end of the job. Almost nobody in this trade does that. It’s how you know the drying actually worked.

Mold Remediation
Crawl space humidity, degraded vapor barriers, and red clay soil make mold a recurring problem in Union City’s 1985-2005 housing stock. We remove the mold, fix the moisture source, and often recommend encapsulation so you’re not calling us back in two seasons.

Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration
Kitchen fires, electrical fires, smoke that travels through HVAC ductwork into every room. We handle board-up, soot cleanup, odor removal, and the Union City Reconstruction & Cleanup that follows. We also deal directly with your adjuster so you’re not the one stuck relaying information between two sides.

Storm & Disaster Restoration
Union City sits in the Camp Creek and Flat Creek watershed areas, which means spring and summer thunderstorms can dump 2-4 inches of rain in a single event. Flash flooding hits low-lying subdivisions hard. We respond with pumps, extraction, and structural drying.
Sewage Cleanup
Sewage backups are a health hazard and need immediate attention. Our Union City Sewage Cleanup team removes contaminated water, sanitizes affected areas, and makes sure the space is safe before anyone lives in it again.
Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup
Trauma scenes, unattended deaths, hoarding situations. We handle these with our Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup in Union City team, offering care, discretion, and the proper protective protocols. Call and speak to Wade directly.
Reconstruction & Cleanup
After the emergency is over, the rebuild begins. Drywall, flooring, paint, trim. We schedule this work in writing like a remodel, not a rushed emergency. You’ll know the price before we start.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Union City
We work throughout Union City, from the warehouse corridor near I-85 to the residential streets off Roosevelt Highway and Jonesboro Road. Typical response time anywhere in the city is under an hour for water and sewage emergencies.

Why Union City’s Climate & Housing Affect Damage Restoration
Most of Union City’s homes are brick-veneer ranches and two-story subdivision houses built between 1985 and 2005, sitting on crawl spaces over Georgia red clay. That construction pattern creates a specific problem: original vapor barriers from the 1990s have degraded or were installed directly on bare clay. Georgia’s summer humidity, routinely above 70%, saturates the subfloor joists, and mold follows. We see this call constantly in Union City’s 30291 ZIP code. The fix is usually full encapsulation, not just remediation. If you only clean the mold and leave the moisture path, you’re back where you started within two seasons. We’ll tell you that upfront, even when it means more work now and less repeat business later.
There’s another Union City twist. This city sits minutes from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport along I-85, with a heavy logistics and warehouse corridor running through it. That means restoration contractors here have to be just as comfortable drying a 200,000-square-foot distribution center as they are a three-bedroom ranch. We’re set up for both. Same standards, same documentation, same crew.

FAQs About Damage Restoration in Union City
For water, sewage, or storm emergencies, we’re typically on site in Union City within the hour, day or night. Wade answers his own phone 24/7. Call (888) 690-3757.
Most homeowners policies in Union City cover sudden and accidental water damage, fire, storm, and sewage backup, though coverage varies. We take photos, keep daily moisture logs, and talk to your adjuster directly so you’re not the middleman. That documentation makes a real difference in how claims settle.
Depends on where the water went and how long it sat. If moisture is trapped in a crawl space or behind drywall, surface cleaning won’t fix the problem. We’ll show you the moisture readings and tell you honestly what’s required. No scare tactics.
Wade does. You shouldn’t have to translate technical drying data into insurance language. We send the adjuster the readings, the photos, and the scope of work, and we stay on the phone with them until it’s resolved.
Because original vapor barriers from the 1985-2005 building era are failing, and Georgia red clay sheds water toward foundations instead of absorbing it. The long-term fix is encapsulation. We can explain the difference and give you a written scope either way.
If you’re dealing with water, fire, mold, or storm damage in Union City, call Wade at (888) 690-3757. He’ll answer. He’ll come out. And if he doesn’t get it right the first time, he’ll be back to make it right. That’s been the deal since 2007.

What Union City Customers Say
"He photographed everything before he touched a thing and took moisture readings every single day, then handed the whole file to the adjuster. Our claim went through without one argument."
- Roosevelt Dandridge"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."
