Why New Prague Homeowners Choose Wade’s Restoration of Minneapolis
We understand what you are up against. You have water moving through your house, mold you just found behind a wall, or fire damage that has left your family unable to live at home. You don’t need a call center. You need a real person who will show up, do the work, and stand behind it. That’s how Wade has operated since 2007. His name is on the truck. His address and license number are published. Ask anyone on your street who has dealt with a national restoration outfit and they will tell you the difference between a 1-800 number and a guy who hands you his cell on the first day.
Wade and his team work in New Prague neighborhoods including the historic downtown core and the subdivisions off Main Street and Raven Stream Drive. They bring professional-grade equipment from Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, and XPOWER, and they carry IICRC-certified credentials. Every water, fire, and mold restoration job is covered by the 90-Day Done Right Promise, in writing. If it’s not done right, Wade makes it right. That’s the whole deal.
One thing that separates us from the chains: Wade takes moisture readings every single day on water and mold jobs and hands you the complete log when the work is done. Almost nobody else in the trade does this. You will know exactly what was wet, how wet it was, and when it finally dried. And Wade deals with your insurance adjuster directly, so you are never stuck relaying information between two sides.
Damage Restoration Services We Offer in New Prague
If you are dealing with damage to your home, we handle the full range of restoration work, from first response to final paint. Here is what that looks like in New Prague.
Water Damage Restoration
Broken sump pumps, ice dams, and burst supply lines are the calls we run most often in New Prague. We extract standing water, dry the structure with professional equipment, and document everything for your insurance claim. Learn more about our Water Damage Restoration in New Prague.
Mold Remediation
New Prague’s freeze-thaw cycles and finished basements create the humidity, the moisture, and the hidden cavities where mold thrives. We identify the extent of growth, contain the affected area, remove contaminated materials safely, and document the cleanup. Learn more about our Mold Remediation in New Prague.
Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration
After a house fire in New Prague, the priority is securing the property and starting the cleanup before soot and smoke odor set permanently. We handle demolition, odor removal, structural cleaning, and the rebuild phase. Learn more about our Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in New Prague.
Storm & Disaster Restoration
Severe thunderstorms and straight-line winds hit Scott County fast, and roof damage or downed trees can open your home to water within minutes. Wade’s crews handle Storm & Disaster Restoration in New Prague, including emergency board-up, tarping, debris removal, and full structural drying.
Sewage Cleanup
A backed-up sewer lateral or failed septic line is a biohazard, and the water in a sewage spill carries things you don’t want sitting in your flooring or framing. That’s why we offer our Sewage Cleanup in New Prague: we remove the contaminated water, sanitize the affected areas, and replace materials that can’t be cleaned safely.
Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup
Some messes require training, compassion, and discretion. We handle our Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup in New Prague, including trauma scene cleanup, unattended death cleanup, and other biohazard situations with the proper protocols and complete documentation for your insurer.
Reconstruction & Cleanup
After the drying is done and the demo is complete, your house still needs to be put back together. We handle our Reconstruction & Cleanup in New Prague, including drywall, trim, flooring, painting, and the finish work that returns your home to livable condition.

Why New Prague’s Climate & Housing Affect Damage Restoration
If you live in New Prague, you know what February and March bring: -20°F nights followed by a rapid thaw. Snowmelt runs over still-frozen ground and finds the weakest point in your foundation wall or the lowest corner of your window well. That’s the season when our phones ring with basement floods in the older homes downtown and the 2000s-era ranch houses on the edge of town alike.
There is another New Prague-specific pattern worth knowing about. Many of the 2000s and 2010s subdivisions on the north and east edges of town were platted on former row-crop fields. The original agricultural tile drainage was disrupted during construction and never fully rerouted. What that means for homeowners: a spring storm that knocks out power for even a few hours can overwhelm a sump pit before a generator gets started. We see waves of simultaneous finished-basement flooding claims in those neighborhoods every spring, and that reality has made us very good at drying out carpeted basements and engineered-lumber floor systems quickly.
The older housing stock presents a different challenge entirely. The late-1800s and early-1900s homes around downtown New Prague sit on stone or poured-concrete block foundations with original plaster walls. When water gets into those walls, they need to be dried slowly and carefully, and the materials underneath need to be treated with period-sensitive methods. The same goes for smoke damage in the brick commercial buildings along Main Street. You can’t dry out a 120-year-old lath-and-plaster wall the same way you dry out OSB sheathing in a 2005 tract home, and a contractor who doesn’t know that will cause more harm than the original water did.

FAQs About Damage Restoration in New Prague
If you call (888) 690-6095, a live person answers, and Wade can usually have a crew started on water extraction within an hour for New Prague addresses, depending on how many other local jobs are running at the same time. Call now and we will tell you exactly when someone can be on site.
Most water, fire, and storm damage in New Prague is covered under standard homeowners policies, but the details depend on your policy and the cause of loss. Wade works directly with adjusters, documents everything with photos and moisture logs, and can tell you early in the process what is likely covered. Call us for a straight answer before you make any decisions.
If water has been sitting for more than 24 hours, or if you see mold, or if sewage was involved, drying it yourself won’t be enough. Finished basements in New Prague trap moisture in insulation and behind baseboards, and what you can’t see is where the ongoing damage happens. Get a professional assessment first, and get a free second opinion if anyone has quoted you a full job you are not sure you need.
Wade does. Direct communication with your insurance adjuster is part of how we work, so you are not the one running phone tag between a restoration company and an insurance company. We provide photos, moisture readings, and written documentation your adjuster can use to move your claim forward.
If it is safe, shut off the water source and move small valuables out of the water path. Don’t enter standing water if it may be contaminated, don’t touch any electrical panels or outlets in wet areas, and don’t try to start removal yourself. Take some photos, then call us. We will tell you what to do while we are on the way.

What New Prague 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"Wade built proper sealed containment before he opened the mold wall and ran a scrubber the whole time. My wife has a lung condition and not once did the air in the rest of the house change."
- Chesterfield Mabry"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."
