Why Wade’s Restoration of Minneapolis Is New Hope’s Preferred Reconstruction & Cleanup Company
Wade Ferris started Wade’s Restoration in 2007 with a simple rule: his name goes on the truck because his name is on the work. That matters in New Hope, where homeowners run into the same people at Cub on 42nd or at the New Hope Village Discount Center. Reputation sticks in a city this size, and ours is built on documented moisture logs, direct insurance adjuster communication, and a 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing on every reconstruction job.
New Hope customers don’t get a rotating cast of subcontractors. They get Wade’s crew, background-checked and uniformed, showing up with Dri-Eaz and Injectidry equipment that’s properly maintained. We answer the phone 24/7. Not an answering service. A live human, often Wade himself.
Our Reconstruction & Cleanup Services in New Hope
Full-Service Reconstruction
When a New Hope split-level floods, the damage rarely stops at the lower level. Moisture travels: it wicks up drywall, hides in the mid-level framing cavity, and sits behind baseboards for weeks. Our reconstruction team handles the whole sequence, from demolition to trim and paint, so you’re not juggling three contractors and hoping they agree on what’s dry. We coordinate the full rebuild, including permits and inspections, and we document every phase for your adjuster.
Drywall & Flooring Repair
Most New Hope ramblers have original plaster or early drywall over 2×4 framing, which means water damage telegraphs differently than in newer construction. We cut out exactly what’s compromised, dry the remaining structure to measurable standards, and match the new drywall texture and floor transitions to the rest of the room. No seams a year later. No hump where the new subfloor meets the old.
Contents Restoration & Pack-Out
Furniture, clothing, and paperwork from a flooded New Hope basement don’t have to be written off. We run a professional pack-out operation: inventorying, cleaning, deodorizing, and storing contents while the structure dries and rebuilds. Every item gets logged with photos, which your adjuster will want. This is not a truckload of boxes in a warehouse. It’s a documented chain of custody from your living room to our facility and back.
Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning
Post-construction dust settles into carpet fibers and upholstery. After a rebuild, we deep-clean carpet and upholstery with truck-mounted equipment that pulls up gypsum dust, sawdust, and the fine silt that a shop vac leaves behind. This service also helps homeowners who had light water intrusion where the carpet was saved but the pad was compromised in spots.

Common Reconstruction & Cleanup Problems We See in New Hope Homes
- Galvanized supply lines rupturing during hard freezes: Original 1960s galvanized pipe in New Hope ramblers and split-levels is well past its service life. When a line bursts during a January cold snap, it floods the lower level while the family is at work or asleep. We handle the water extraction, structural drying, and full reconstruction of whatever the water touched.
- Undersized first-generation sump pits failing during spring snowmelt: The original clay or shallow concrete sump crocks installed when these homes were built cannot keep up with Minnesota’s spring melt, especially in the Bassett Creek influence zone on the city’s southern end. We commonly replace the pit, upgrade the pump, and rebuild the damaged lower level in the same job.
- Hidden moisture in split-level mid-level cavities: This is the failure sequence we know too well in New Hope. Water enters the lower level, soaks the slab, and wicks upward into the concealed band between the lower and mid-level floors. Nobody sees it until a musty odor or a secondary mold claim appears. We open the drywall, dry the interstitial space properly, and rebuild.
- Ice-dam water staining ceilings in low-pitched ramblers: New Hope’s ramblers have shallow roof pitches that hold snow and feed ice dams. Meltwater pushes under shingles and follows framing into ceiling assemblies, showing up as brown rings on living room ceilings. Reconstruction includes ceiling replacement, insulation replacement, and ventilation correction where needed.
On a split-level near the Bassett Creek corridor, we responded to a lower-level flood after the original clay sump crock lost power during a spring storm. Our crew found moisture had wicked into the concealed mid-level framing cavity, forcing us to open drywall, dry the interstitial space with Dri-Eaz and Injectidry equipment, and rebuild the lower stairwell, then document everything for the insurance claim.

FAQs - Reconstruction & Cleanup in New Hope
Yes, we treat the mid-level cavity as a separate drying zone. Water trapped between the lower-level ceiling and the mid-level floor cannot be dried by floor fans alone. Our crews remove baseboards, drill targeted access points, and place Injectidry injected-drying panels and Dri-Eaz dehumidifiers into the cavity to pull moisture out. We take moisture readings daily and hand you the full log at the end of the job, so you and your adjuster can see the numbers. Call (888) 690-6095 if water is currently trapped in your split-level.
Yes, we photograph everything before, during, and after, and we provide your adjuster with a complete package: moisture logs, equipment records, material disposal slips, and a line-item scope of work. Wade speaks with your adjuster directly, so you’re not the one relaying information between two sides. That direct communication is the single biggest reason New Hope homeowners tell us their claims went smoother than expected.
Yes, replacement of the original sump crock is a routine part of our reconstruction scope when the pit has failed or is undersized. We install a properly sized liner, upgrade the pump, add a battery backup, and tie the discharge to code. This is not an add-on upsell. For a home in New Hope with a first-generation pit, fixing the water problem without upgrading the pit just sets up the next failure. Call (888) 690-6095 for a free estimate on the full package.
Low-pitched roofs hold snow longer than steep roofs, and New Hope ramblers often lack adequate attic ventilation and modern ice-and-water shield under the shingles. Meltwater pools at the eave, works under the shingles, and follows framing into the ceiling assembly. The damage shows up as brown stain rings across the living room ceiling. Reconstruction means replacing the affected drywall, insulation, and often correcting the ventilation shortfall so next winter doesn’t repeat it.
Yes, we offer full pack-out and contents restoration for New Hope basement floods. We inventory every item, photograph it, clean and deodorize what’s salvageable, and store it in a climate-controlled facility until your reconstruction is done. Your adjuster gets the full inventory with photos, which keeps your contents claim moving. Call (888) 690-6095 and we’ll have a crew at your home in New Hope within hours to start the pack-out before mold sets in.
