Damage Restoration Services in New Brighton, MN
When water is spreading across your basement floor at 2 a.m., or a furnace puff-back has coated your living room in soot, you need someone who knows New Brighton’s homes, not just a name in a call-center queue. Wade’s Restoration answers the phone live, every hour of every day, and Wade Ferris has been known to pick up on the first ring and head out himself. He knows the split-levels off Old Highway 8, the ramblers near Long Lake, and the tuck-under garages where January freezes do their worst. Call (888) 690-6095 and you’ll get a straight answer about what’s happening and how fast we can get there.
Most water damage in New Brighton gets worse by the hour. A burst pipe in a rim joist, a sump pump that quits during spring melt, a slow leak behind 1960s wood paneling that finally gives way. That’s why we work to have extraction running the same day you call, with moisture readings taken every single day until the structure is dry. If it’s not done right, our 90-Day Done Right Promise puts it in writing that we’ll make it right, and one call brings Wade back.

Why New Brighton Homeowners Choose Wade’s Restoration of Minneapolis
There’s a particular kind of frustration that comes from a national outfit quoting one price over the phone and a different one at the door. New Brighton homeowners have told us that story more times than we can count. Wade Ferris started this company in 2007 to do it differently: his name is on the truck, his address is published, and he runs into you at the hardware store on Saturdays. That’s the oldest accountability mechanism there is, and it works.
In neighborhoods like Sunny Square and the streets around Pike Lake, we’re the crew neighbors recommend to neighbors. That reputation isn’t built on star ratings from strangers. It’s built on documented moisture logs handed to the homeowner at the end of every water job, on Wade talking to your insurance adjuster directly so you’re not stuck relaying messages, and on background-checked, uniformed technicians who show up when they said they would. We’re IICRC-certified, RIA-affiliated, and IFA-recognized. The equipment we bring to New Brighton jobs is the same professional-grade gear used by top restoration firms: Dri-Eaz dehumidifiers, Phoenix air movers, Injectidry systems, XPOWER fans, and B-Air units. Wade takes moisture readings every day and gives you the full log. Almost nobody else in the trade does that.
Damage Restoration Services We Offer in New Brighton
Water Damage Restoration in New Brighton
A burst supply line in a 1960s raised-ranch can soak a finished basement in under an hour. We extract, dry, and document everything, then hand you the moisture log so you know the job was done right, not just told it was. Learn more about our Water Damage Restoration in New Brighton.
Mold Remediation in New Brighton
New Brighton’s older homes hide mold behind wood-paneled lower levels and around original cast-iron drain lines. We test, contain, remove, and dry so it doesn’t just come back in three months. Learn more about our Mold Remediation in New Brighton.
Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in New Brighton
Soot from a kitchen fire or a furnace puff-back settles into every surface, and the smoke odor bonds to drywall and insulation. We clean, deodorize, and rebuild so the smell doesn’t return with the first humid week. Insurers trust our photo documentation and direct adjuster communication. Learn more about our Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in New Brighton.
Storm & Disaster Restoration
Spring snowmelt and ice dams on low-pitch ranch roofs send water into New Brighton basements every March and April. We respond for tarping, extraction, and structural drying, and we bill your insurer directly with full photo documentation.
Sewage Cleanup
A backed-up drain line is a biohazard, plain and simple. We remove contaminated material, disinfect, and dry to a standard you can verify with our daily moisture readings. This is not a job for a mop and bleach.
Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup
We handle these situations with discretion, safety protocols, and respect for what your family is going through. Our crews are trained, equipped, and prepared to restore the space to safe use.
Reconstruction & Cleanup
Once the emergency is over, the rebuild begins. We scope it in writing, price it upfront, and do the work with the same owner accountability as the mitigation side. No surprise charges at the end.

Why New Brighton’s Climate & Housing Affect Damage Restoration
New Brighton’s housing stock grew fast in the decades after World War II, leaving a dense inventory of split-levels, raised-ranches, and one-story ramblers built largely between 1955 and 1978. Those homes share a few problems. Original cast-iron and galvanized steel drain lines are reaching the end of their useful life. Wood-paneled lower levels hold moisture behind the panels where you can’t see it for years. Rim joists in tuck-under garages freeze and crack supply lines every January.
Wade’s team walks into New Brighton basements expecting the problems that come with this specific housing era. A water stain on a ceiling tile is rarely just a water stain; it’s often the first visible sign of a slow leak that has been running behind the paneling for months. Homes near Silver Lake and Long Lake sit on low-lying lots with high seasonal water tables, and contractors routinely find that what looked like a one-day extraction job was masking years of seepage. That’s where the daily moisture log becomes the difference between a fix and a cover-up.

FAQs About Damage Restoration in New Brighton
Most New Brighton calls have a live person on the phone immediately and a crew on-site within 60 to 90 minutes. Wade answers his own phone, and if he’s not already on a job, he heads out himself. Call (888) 690-6095 and ask.
Yes, and it changes the cost and the scope. Older New Brighton homes frequently contain asbestos in floor tiles, pipe insulation, or ceiling texture, and that material must be tested before restoration work can proceed. Original cast-iron drain lines also fail more often than newer PVC. Any honest quote for a full-gut restoration on a 1960s rambler has to account for those realities.
Most homeowners policies cover sudden and accidental water damage, including burst pipes and sump pump failures. Slow seepage behind paneling is often a different story. Wade talks to your adjuster directly, sends photo documentation and daily moisture logs, and fights for what your policy actually covers. You shouldn’t have to translate between two sides.
If mold is growing behind your New Brighton wood paneling or in a wall cavity, cleaning the visible surface won’t stop it, and it will be back within a season. Remediation means containing the spores, removing the affected material, drying the structure, and verifying the moisture is gone. A cleaning without moisture logs is a guess. We don’t do guesses.
It’s in writing on every water, fire, and mold restoration job: if the work isn’t done right within 90 days, Wade makes it right at no charge. One call brings him back. Not a call center. Not a different crew. Wade.
If you’ve got water where it shouldn’t be, smoke smell in the drapes, or mold behind the paneling, call (888) 690-6095 now. Wade’s Restoration of Minneapolis serves New Brighton with live answers, straight pricing, and a written promise. To wade is what you do through a flooded basement at two in the morning, and it happens to be his name.

What New Brighton Customers Say
"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."
- Ignatius Oduya"He got there fast and the drying was thorough. The rebuild afterwards took longer than I had hoped waiting on matching flooring, and I would rather he had told me that at the start than a fortnight in."
- Antonia Mercado"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
