Fast, Reliable Water Damage Restoration Across Jordan
Water damage in Jordan usually means one of two things: a frozen pipe let go in January, or the Minnesota River came up again in spring. Either way, you need standing water out now, not a call center that schedules you for Thursday. Wade Ferris answers his own phone, and he can have a crew on the road to Jordan inside the hour. Our Water Damage Restoration work here covers everything from a burst supply line in a downtown worker cottage to full flood cleanup in low-lying streets near the river. Call (888) 690-6095 day or night and you’ll get a live person, not a recording.

Why Wade’s Restoration of Minneapolis Is Jordan’s Preferred Water Damage Restoration Company
Wade Ferris started this company in 2007, and he’s still the guy who shows up. Not a franchise manager, not a rotating crew. Wade’s name is on the truck, his address and license number are published, and if he tells you something will be done, he’s the one accountable for it. Ask anyone on your street. In a town the size of Jordan, word gets around fast when someone does right by a neighbor – or doesn’t.
We’ve worked in Jordan long enough to know the difference between a new build on the Scott County growth corridor and a late-1800s house near downtown. The new ones get ice dams and builder-grade drywall that sags after a roof leak. The old ones get river water in fieldstone basements that looks dry on the surface and isn’t. Wade’s crew carries the right equipment for both: Dri-Eaz LGR dehumidifiers, Injectidry floor mats, Phoenix axial air movers, and XPOWER air scrubbers for Category 3 water. None of this is guesswork. Wade takes moisture readings every single day and hands you the full log at the end of the job. Almost nobody in this trade does that.
Response time to Jordan matters because the Minnesota River doesn’t wait for business hours. When spring snowmelt pushes Sand Creek and the river over their banks, low-lying streets flood fast. We get there fast. Calls are answered by a live person 24/7, and Wade himself heads out for the emergencies. No answering service, no “we’ll put in a ticket.” You call, you get a person, and a crew rolls.
Our Water Damage Restoration Services in Jordan
Emergency Water Extraction
Standing water in a Jordan basement starts doing its worst damage in the first hour. We bring truck-mounted extraction units and get the bulk water out fast, then move to targeted extraction for carpet, pad, and subfloor. In Jordan’s older downtown homes, we check the fieldstone and concrete block foundations carefully – water hides in the mortar joints and behind wainscoting long after the floor looks dry.
Structural Drying & Dehumidification
Drying a Jordan home isn’t the same as drying a house on high ground. River floodwater carries silt that holds moisture against framing and foundation walls for weeks. We set up Dri-Eaz LGR dehumidifiers and Injectidry floor mats, then monitor daily with moisture meters and thermal imaging. You get the full moisture log when the job’s done, not a vague “it should be dry now.” For homes in the floodplain, we also check for re-wetted framing from the 1993 and 2019 surges – wood that was remediated before but got wet again behaves differently than fresh damage.
Flood Cleanup
Flood cleanup in Jordan means river water, not just overflow from a water heater. The Minnesota River carries sediment, agricultural runoff, and sewage from upstream communities. That’s Category 3 water by any standard, and it requires full containment, antimicrobial treatment, and structural drying protocols that go beyond what a shop vac and a fan can do. We remove contaminated materials, sanitize what can be saved, and dry the structure correctly the first time. For homeowners near Water Street and other low-lying blocks, this is seasonal reality. Our team has worked multiple events in these same houses, which means we know what failed to dry last time and what needs aggressive treatment this time.
Burst Pipe Restoration
Jordan’s January and February cold snaps push temperatures well below zero, and older homes with uninsulated rim joists or pipes on exterior walls are the first to burst. We respond fast because the water keeps running until someone finds the shutoff. After extraction, we inspect for hidden spread – water travels along pipe chases and under floors in thirty minutes. In Jordan’s historic homes, that often means opening a wall or two to check what the water found on its way down. Better to open a wall now than find mold behind it in May.

Trusted Brands We Service in Jordan
We run Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, and Injectidry equipment because it holds up under continuous use on long drying jobs, which is what Jordan flood work requires. These aren’t rental-store machines that break down on day two. When a Jordan homeowner needs a specific part for a remediation system or a drying setup, we can usually have it on the truck the same day rather than waiting on a distributor. That matters when you’ve got your basement torn apart and humid air coming back in. We also keep XPOWER air scrubbers running on Category 3 jobs to keep airborne contaminants from spreading through the rest of the house.
Common Water Damage Restoration Problems We See in Jordan Homes
- Fieldstone and concrete block foundations that never fully dry: The older homes near downtown Jordan were built with fieldstone or poured-concrete block foundations. These materials wick moisture upward and hold it in the mortar seams. Surface moisture meters miss what’s trapped inches deep, which is why we use invasive probes on every older Jordan basement.
- Ghost stains and hidden mold from previous floods: Some blocks in downtown Jordan flooded in both 1993 and 2019. We regularly find framing that was remediated after one event but re-wetted in the next, with mold reactivating behind wainscoting or under subfloor assemblies. It looks repaired from the outside. It isn’t.
- Ice dam leaks in newer construction: The suburban developments on Jordan’s higher ground don’t have river problems, but they do have builder-grade materials and roof designs prone to ice dams. Slow leaks from ice dams often go unnoticed until the drywall sags or the paint bubbles. By then, the insulation is saturated.
- Sewage backup through floor drains during spring runoff: When the river rises and the sanitary system backs up, the first place it shows is the floor drain in the lowest part of the basement. That’s Category 3 water sitting in a finished space – we treat the whole area as contaminated, not just the puddle.
Pricing for Water Damage Restoration in Jordan, MN
What you’ll pay depends on what happened and how far the water traveled, but here are real numbers for Jordan. A straightforward burst pipe with quick extraction and five to seven days of drying typically runs $2,800 to $5,200. Flood cleanup in a river-affected basement with Category 3 water, containment, removal, sanitizing, and structural drying usually falls between $6,500 and $14,000 depending on square footage and how much finish material has to come out. If we have to open walls to remediate re-wetted framing from a prior flood, add $1,800 to $4,500 per room. And if mold is already active behind those walls, that’s a separate remediation scope. We give you a written scope before work starts, every time, and we offer free second opinions on any written estimate. Call (888) 690-6095 for an exact quote on your situation.

FAQs - Water Damage Restoration in Jordan
It changes everything. Floodwater in Jordan carries river silt, agricultural runoff, and Category 3 contaminants from a massive upstream watershed, so we treat every river-related Jordan flood as a biohazard cleanup requiring containment, antimicrobial application, and aggressive structural drying – not just extraction. Higher-ground cities mostly deal with clean-water plumbing breaks. Jordan flood work means removing contaminated materials, checking for silt trapped against foundation walls, and verifying framing from prior floods hasn’t re-wetted. Call (888) 690-6095 if you’ve got river water in your basement and we’ll start the right protocol.
Check the framing behind your walls and under your subfloor, not the surface. The 2019 flood re-wetted framing in many Jordan homes that had previously been remediated from 1993, and dormant mold reactivates when moisture returns. If you smell must after thaw, water is getting in somewhere. We do free inspections with invasive moisture meters and thermal imaging – call (888) 690-6095 and Wade will look himself.
Yes, and that’s when we’re busiest in Jordan. Pipes in older homes with uninsulated rim joists or exterior-wall plumbing freeze first, and the water keeps running until someone finds the shutoff. We respond 24/7, extract fast, then trace where the water traveled before the house froze again. Call (888) 690-6095 the moment you find the break – the faster we get water out, the less drywall and flooring you lose.
Treating river water like clean water and trusting a surface moisture reading. In Jordan’s older downtown homes, water hides in fieldstone mortar, behind wainscoting, and under subfloor assemblies that were “repaired” after a previous flood. Homeowners wipe up the puddle, run a fan for two days, and call it done. Then spring comes and the mold blooms. We give away moisture logs for free because nobody else in this trade does – call (888) 690-6095 and we’ll show you what’s actually wet.
Sometimes, and only if you catch it early. A fieldstone foundation holds moisture in the mortar seams, and if the water just arrived and hasn’t saturated the wall cavity, we can dry it with Injectidry floor mats, LGR dehumidifiers, and targeted air movement without opening every wall. But if water has been sitting for days or it’s river water with silt, we often have to open the lower wall sections to dry the framing and check for re-wetted wood from prior floods. We’ll show you the moisture readings and tell you straight what needs to open and what doesn’t – call (888) 690-6095 for an honest assessment.
