Why Mounds View Homeowners Choose Wade’s Restoration of Minneapolis
Somewhere in this city there’s a homeowner who got quoted one price on the phone by a national chain and a different number once their crew was standing in the living room. That doesn’t happen with us. Wade writes the scope before work starts, hands you the moisture log every single day, and backs every water, fire, and mold job with the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not done right, he makes it right. One call brings him back.
We’ve worked in the Silver Lake Shores area and the neighborhoods off Long Lake Road near Mounds View High School, and in both places homeowners tell us the same thing: they want to know the name of the person responsible for the work. That’s reasonable. Wade answers his own cell. Here is his cell, effectively, because the main line rings to him too. Background-checked, uniformed crew members show up with equipment from Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, and Injectidry, and the work carries IICRC standards plus Wade’s own reputation.
Ask anyone on your street who’s had a restoration crew out. Speed matters, but so does not being oversold once the crew is in the basement. We handle both: fast extraction when water is spreading, and a written scope before any billable work begins. Insurance adjusters get direct communication from Wade, so you’re never the messenger, and photo documentation goes straight to the adjuster.
Damage Restoration Services We Offer in Mounds View
Water Damage Restoration
Water in Mounds View homes is rarely a simple mop-up. Given the city’s aging drain-tile systems and concrete-block basements, what looks like a small leak is often the first visible sign of long-term perimeter intrusion. We extract, dry, and document everything, with daily moisture readings and a full log at the end.

Mold Remediation
Mold from chronic moisture in 1960s ranch basements hides behind drywall and along mortar joints long before a homeowner sees staining. Wade’s crew tests, contains, and removes the colony, then identifies why the moisture was there in the first place so it doesn’t come back. A remediation that skips the moisture source is a cleaning, not a fix.

Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration
Smoke pressure-seeks every gap in a split-level’s open stairwell and forced-air duct runs. We clean what can be cleaned, replace what can’t, and document damaged materials for the adjuster. Fire jobs in Mounds View move on your timeline, not ours, because you’re dealing with enough already.

Storm & Disaster Restoration
Heavy rain events in the Rice Creek watershed push surface water into low-gradient Mounds View yards faster than aging footer drains can handle. Our Storm & Disaster Restoration in Mounds View includes emergency extraction, board-up, and tarping, plus a written scope for what comes after.
Sewage Cleanup
Mounds View Sewage Cleanup is not a water job with worse smells. It’s a biohazard that requires containment, disposal, and post-cleanup verification. We remove contaminated material, disinfect properly, and keep you and your family out of harm’s way until the area tests clean.
Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup
We handle unattended death, trauma scenes, and our Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup in Mounds View with the same discretion and thoroughness we’d want for our own family. This is quiet work, done right, with respect for the people involved.
Reconstruction & Cleanup
After mitigation comes Mounds View Reconstruction & Cleanup: drywall, trim, flooring, paint. We scope reconstruction like a remodel, with a written price before work starts, then execute with crews who have done Mounds View basements dozens of times.

Why Mounds View’s Climate & Housing Affect Damage Restoration
Mounds View sits inside the Rice Creek watershed, and that’s not a quirk, it’s a daily reality for homeowners here. After significant rain or rapid snowmelt, low-lying parts of the city face groundwater intrusion and structural flooding that neighboring upland suburbs like Shoreview simply don’t experience the same way. Our crews account for both surface-water flooding pathways and the saturated soils that push water through drain-tile systems now 50 to 70 years old.
The housing stock compounds the problem. Mounds View was almost entirely built out between 1955 and 1975, mostly ranch homes and split-levels with concrete-block basement walls and original perimeter drain tile. Minnesota’s freeze-thaw cycling hits these foundations hard. When late-season snow melts into still-frozen ground, the Rice Creek corridor backs up surface water into yards faster than aging footer drains can manage, which is why we see the same basements flood season after season. A good restoration tech in Mounds View checks the block walls for efflorescence patterns along mortar joints, often the tell that water has been wicking through for years before the “sudden” flood call.
This is why we lead with moisture data and a full log. You should know what’s happening behind your drywall, not just what’s visible on the floor.

FAQs About Damage Restoration in Mounds View
Most homeowner policies in Minnesota cover sudden and accidental water damage, like a burst pipe or a failed water heater, and many cover storm-related flooding if you have the right endorsements. Groundwater seepage through foundation walls is usually excluded unless you carry a specific rider. Wade deals with the adjuster directly, photographs everything, and submits documentation so you aren’t left relaying information between two sides. Call (888) 690-6095 and we’ll help you figure out what your policy covers before work begins.
We aim to have extraction running inside the hour for water emergencies in the 55432 zip code. Wade answers his own phone, so you won’t sit on hold waiting for a call center to route your emergency. For fire and sewage jobs, response runs similarly fast because we stage equipment in the metro area for this exact reason.
If the mold is behind drywall, along basement mortar joints, or inside ductwork, a surface cleaning won’t touch what’s actually there. In Mounds View’s 1960s ranch homes, hidden mold colonies behind drywall are almost always part of the scope once water has been wicking through block walls for years. We’ll inspect first and tell you honestly whether you need remediation or just a clean-and-dry approach. No charge for the second opinion on any written estimate you already have.
Wade does. Not a call-center rep, not a third-party billing department. Wade talks to your adjuster directly, shares the moisture log and photo documentation, and negotiates the scope so you’re not the one stuck in the middle. This is one of the main reasons homeowners in Mounds View call us after bad experiences with national outfits.
Call (888) 690-6095 first, then kill electricity to the affected area if you can do so safely, and move small valuables up off the floor. Don’t enter standing water if you’re uncertain what’s in it, and for sewage backup, stay out entirely until we’ve contained it. Wade will walk you through the first steps on the phone while he’s on the road.
No trip charge inside our county. If you call from the 55432 zip code, the drive out is on us. That’s part of the no-hassle upfront pricing, and it applies whether the job is a small drying or a full basement remediation.
Call (888) 690-6095 for a free estimate, or to get Wade on the phone right now. If you’re standing in a wet basement at two in the morning, to wade is what you’re doing, and it happens to be his name. He’ll be there.

What Mounds View Customers Say
"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."
- 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
