Why Arden Hills Homeowners Choose Wade’s Restoration of Minneapolis
Wade Ferris started this company in 2007 and he still answers his own phone. That matters in a city like Arden Hills, where neighbors talk, and a contractor’s reputation follows him to the grocery store and the school pickup line. Folks here don’t want a national franchise that sends whoever is available. They want the owner’s name on the truck and his cell number in their phone.
Homeowners near Snail Lake and Valentine Lake call us because we know how the high water table behaves in this part of town. Homeowners off Lexington Avenue and in the neighborhoods around Lake Johanna call because we’ve already worked three houses on their block. Our crews are background-checked, uniformed, and IICRC-certified Wade’s Restoration of Minneapolis professionals who use equipment from Dri-Eaz and XPOWER to dry homes properly, not just superficially. And every water, fire, or mold job comes with our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not right, Wade makes it right. That’s the whole deal.
Damage Restoration Services We Offer in Arden Hills
Water Damage Restoration
A burst supply line, a failed sump pump, or a slow leak behind a wall can saturate drywall and framing within hours. We extract standing water, run commercial dehumidifiers and air movers, and document moisture levels daily until your home is truly dry. Learn more about our water damage restoration in Arden Hills.
Mold Remediation
Homes in Arden Hills, especially those near the Rice Creek watershed, deal with persistent humidity that feeds mold behind baseboards and in crawlspaces. We contain affected areas, remove contaminated material, and address the moisture source so it doesn’t return. Learn more about our mold remediation in Arden Hills.
Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration
After a kitchen fire or an electrical blaze, smoke residue gets into drywall, ductwork, furniture, and anything porous. We clean, seal, and restore what can be saved, and handle the full rebuild when structural elements are too far gone. Learn more about our fire and smoke damage restoration in Arden Hills.
Storm & Disaster Restoration
Minnesota hailstorms, straight-line winds, and spring snowmelt flooding all hit Arden Hills hard, which is why we offer Storm & Disaster Restoration in Arden Hills. We tarp roofs, board windows, extract floodwater, and work directly with your adjuster to document every step of the claim.
Sewage Cleanup
A backed-up sanitary line or a flooded septic field is a health hazard and a mess no homeowner should face alone, so we provide Arden Hills Sewage Cleanup. We remove contaminated water and solids, sanitize affected areas, and restore flooring and drywall that had to be cut out.
Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup
When something happens on a property that requires careful, discreet, OSHA-compliant cleaning, our Arden Hills Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup team handles it with respect for the family involved and the seriousness of the situation.

Once the emergency is over, the Arden Hills Reconstruction & Cleanup begins. We replace drywall, flooring, trim, and even whole sections of your home, coordinating the entire project so you’re not juggling three different contractors.

Why Arden Hills’s Climate & Housing Affect Damage Restoration
Arden Hills is threaded with the Rice Creek watershed and sits among a network of wetlands and lakes like Snail Lake, Valentine Lake, and Grass Lake that keep the water table unusually high across much of the city. Spring snowmelt routinely overwhelms sump pumps and footing drains on properties near these basins, causing the same basements to flood year after year in a way that doesn’t happen in drier suburbs like Roseville or Maplewood. Add in Minnesota’s freeze-thaw cycles, and you get two distinct damage seasons: winter ice damming on the low-slope rooflines of the city’s 1960s-to-1980s ranch and split-level homes, and a compressed spring window when snowmelt tops an already elevated groundwater table.
Those older homes matter in another way. Many still carry original clay or cast-iron footing drain tile that has been breaking down for 40 to 60 years. And pre-1980 builds often contain asbestos-backed flooring or pipe insulation, which means abatement has to happen before structural drying or rebuild work can start. We flag that early, because nothing slows a restoration like discovering a hazmat issue mid-demolition. Wade’s crews know what to look for in Arden Hills basements because we’ve opened enough of them.

FAQs About Damage Restoration in Arden Hills
Wade’s crews are staged in the north metro and typically reach most Arden Hills addresses within an hour of your call. In urgent water or sewage situations, you should start shutting off valves and moving belongings out of the water while you wait. Then call (888) 690-6095 and Wade will walk you through what to do next.
Most homeowners policies cover sudden and accidental water damage, like a burst pipe or a failed water heater, but not gradual seepage or neglect. Mold coverage varies widely by policy. Wade’s team takes photo documentation and moisture logs at every stage, and Wade deals directly with your adjuster so you’re not stuck relaying details between two sides.
If water sat for more than 24 hours or soaked into drywall, carpet, or insulation, surface drying isn’t enough. Mold starts colonizing behind walls in that window. A professional assessment with moisture meters and thermal imaging tells you what’s actually wet, not just what looks wet. We’ll give you that assessment honestly, even if the answer is that a box fan and open windows will do.
The former Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant site, now being redeveloped as Rice Creek Commons, sits on a legacy Superfund area with documented soil and groundwater contamination. Any restoration or reconstruction work on structures bordering that corridor that disturbs soil or touches stormwater systems has to account for that environmental history. Wade’s crew knows the area and factors those conditions into the scope before any work starts.
Wade does. He’s been working directly with insurance adjusters since 2007 and speaks their language. You get a written scope, photo documentation, and one point of contact for the whole claim. Call (888) 690-6095 and hand the phone over. That’s what we’re here for.

What Arden Hills 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
