Fast, Reliable Storm & Disaster Restoration Across Jordan
Storm damage in Jordan, MN rarely announces itself politely. It’s a spring snowmelt surge pushing the Minnesota River over its banks, a July squall tearing shingles off a downtown roof, or a January ice dam letting water crawl through an attic. When it happens, you need someone who knows Jordan’s streets, Jordan’s older basements, and Jordan’s history with water. Wade’s Restoration of Minneapolis has crews serving Jordan day and night. Call (888) 690-6095 and Wade himself answers. He’s been doing this since 2007, and he’ll tell you straight what needs to happen and who’s coming to your door.
We’re not a national outfit with a rotating cast of subcontractors. Wade Ferris owns the business, publishes his name and address, and answers his own phone. When a storm hits Jordan, he’s the one coordinating the response, and he’s the one who will check the moisture readings himself before anyone calls the job done.
Why Wade’s Restoration Is Who Jordan Calls After a Storm
Jordan sits in the Minnesota River Valley, and that one fact changes everything about storm restoration here. Most of Scott County sits on high ground. Jordan doesn’t. The river’s spring snowmelt surges have repeatedly pushed into low-lying streets and older downtown properties, most notably in 1993 and 2019. That means the homes we work on in Jordan often carry layered damage histories: ghost stains on old framing, subfloor assemblies that look dry but hide moisture from a previous event, and basement walls that have been wet more than once. We know what to look for because we’ve seen it, cut into it, and dried it out.
Jordan homeowners call us because they’ve heard from a neighbor that Wade showed up, did what he said he’d do, and didn’t upsell them into work they didn’t need. That’s the reputation we’ve built in this town. Ask anyone on your street. They’ll tell you the same thing: Wade answers the phone, Wade heads out, and Wade stands behind the work with his 90-Day Done Right Promise, in writing, on every water, fire, and mold job.
Our Storm & Disaster Restoration Services in Jordan
Storm & Disaster Restoration here means dealing with what the Minnesota River and Minnesota weather actually do to Jordan homes. Here’s what we handle most often.
Flood Damage Restoration
When the Minnesota River rises, Jordan’s low-lying streets and older downtown basements take on Category 3 water: river silt, sewage, and whatever else the flood carried. That’s not clean water, and treating it like it is sets you up for mold and structural rot. We extract the standing water, cut out what can’t be saved, and dry the structure properly with Dri-Eaz dehumidifiers and Phoenix air movers. We take moisture readings every single day, and at the end of the job, you get the full log. Nobody else in this trade hands that over.
Storm Damage Cleanup
After wind rips through Jordan, we’re hauling debris, clearing downed branches, and getting homes safe enough to start repairs. We work fast because we know another storm can roll through before you’ve finished cleaning up from the last one. We also document everything with photos for your insurance claim, and Wade deals with the adjuster directly. You shouldn’t be the one relaying information between two sides.
Emergency Board-Up
A broken window or a hole in your roof is an open invitation to rain, animals, and anyone looking for easy access. Our crew boards up damaged openings the same day you call, using materials that hold until permanent repairs can be scoped and scheduled. In downtown Jordan, with its tight lots and narrow alleys, we’ve learned how to get equipment where it needs to go without making a bad situation worse.
Roof Tarping
When storm wind peels back shingles or a tree limb punctures your roof, water has a direct path into your attic. We tarp roofs in Jordan fast, securing the site so water stops coming in while you and your adjuster sort out the full scope of repairs. Downtown Jordan’s older homes often have steep pitches and aging decking, and our crews know how to work those roofs safely.
Debris Removal
River floods leave behind more than water; they leave silt, branches, and sometimes pieces of upstream structures. Our debris removal clears your property and your basement so drying and repair work can actually begin. We also keep an eye out for what shouldn’t be there, like contaminated material that needs separate disposal.
Wind Damage Repair
Straight-line winds in Jordan can rack older homes, loosen siding, and compromise roof sheathing. We assess the damage, document it thoroughly, and get your home back to stable. Our work is covered by the 90-Day Done Right Promise, and if anything isn’t right, Wade comes back.

Trusted Brands and Real Equipment
When you call us for storm restoration in Jordan, you’re getting professional-grade equipment, not rental-store leftovers.

We’re IICRC-certified, RIA-affiliated, and IFA-recognized, which means the people running this equipment know exactly how to use it. For Jordan homeowners, that matters when you’re racing mold after a flood or trying to dry out a fieldstone basement that’s been wet for the third time in twenty years.
Common Storm & Disaster Restoration Problems We See in Jordan Homes
- River flood water treated as clean water. Jordan River surges carry silt, sewage, and agricultural runoff. Anyone who says it’s Category 1 water is wrong, and drying without proper antimicrobial treatment leaves contamination in your walls and floors.
- Hidden moisture in previously flooded structures. Homes near downtown Jordan that flooded in 1993 or 2019 often look fine on the surface but harbor ghost stains and compromised subfloor assemblies behind newer drywall. We search for these during every restoration.
- Fieldstone and concrete-block foundation seepage. Jordan’s older homes were built with foundations that can’t be fully waterproofed. Water finds its way in, and if you only dry the surface, mold comes back. We address the moisture as a system, not a one-time event.
- Ice dams on older roofs. Jordan’s freeze-thaw cycles pile snow and ice on roofs, especially on late-1800s and early-1900s homes with limited attic insulation. When ice dams back water under shingles, attic damage follows quickly.

FAQs - Storm & Disaster Restoration in Jordan
How does Jordan’s location in the Minnesota River Valley change flood damage restoration compared to higher-ground Scott County suburbs?
Jordan’s position directly in the Minnesota River Valley means flood damage here often involves Category 3 water: river silt, sewage, and agricultural runoff that demands full antimicrobial treatment and often demolition of porous materials. Higher-ground suburbs like Shakopee or parts of Chaska mostly deal with clean-water basement seepage or rain-driven leaks; Jordan deals with true river water. Call (888) 690-6095 for an exact assessment.
What hidden damage should I look for in a Jordan home that flooded before during the 1993 or 2019 Minnesota River surges?
The most common hidden damage we find is moisture trapped in subfloor assemblies and framing that was remediated after a previous flood but re-wetted or never fully dried. Look for ghost stains on joists, musty smells that come back after rain, and drywall that feels cooler than the surrounding wall, which signals moisture behind it. If you suspect anything, we’ll inspect it and give you a straight answer.
Why do some Jordan basements with fieldstone foundations keep getting wet even after a sump pump is installed?
Fieldstone and poured-concrete block foundations from Jordan’s early-1900s housing stock were never designed to be waterproof, and water enters through mortar joints and wall cracks that a sump pump can’t prevent. A sump pump moves water out after it’s in; the real fix is exterior or interior drainage and proper grading. We can assess your situation honestly and tell you what’s actually warranted.
How quickly does mold start growing after a Jordan River flood, and what should I do before help arrives?
Mold can begin growing within 24 to 48 hours in warm conditions, especially on organic materials like drywall and wood that stayed wet from river water. Before we arrive, turn off electricity to affected areas if safe to do so, don’t enter standing water that could be contaminated, and don’t run HVAC systems that could spread spores. Then call (888) 690-6095.
Can you tarp a roof in downtown Jordan during a storm when alleys are narrow and parking is limited?
Yes. Our crews are used to downtown Jordan’s tight lots and narrow alleys, and we bring ladder systems and equipment that work in confined spaces. We’ve tarped roofs on Water Street and around the historic core during active weather, securing the site so water stops coming in while insurance assesses the full repair.
