Why Bloomington Homeowners Choose Wade’s Restoration of Minneapolis
Most of the people who call us have already been burned once. They called a national outfit, got a quote over the phone, and watched the price double when the crew walked through the door. That doesn’t happen with us. Wade’s name is on the truck, his address is published, and he’s going to run into you again at the Cub Foods on Lyndale or the farmers market by the Normandale Lake bandshell. That’s the oldest accountability mechanism there is.
We work throughout the 55420 ZIP and the rest of Bloomington, including the neighborhoods around Penn Lake and West Bloomington. Our crew is background-checked, uniformed, and IICRC-certified. We carry professional-grade equipment from Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, and Injectidry. And every water, fire, or mold restoration job comes with our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if it’s not done right, Wade makes it right. One call brings him back.
Wade also does something almost nobody else in this trade does. He takes moisture readings every single day and hands you the complete log when the job is finished. You’ll see exactly what the readings were, what they are now, and why the drying is done. If you want a second opinion on any written estimate from another company, that’s free too.
Damage Restoration Services We Offer in Bloomington
Water Damage Restoration
Burst pipes, sump pump failures, and Nine Mile Creek overflows are all familiar enemies around here. We extract the water, dry the structure, and document everything for your insurance. Learn more about our Water Damage Restoration in Bloomington.
Mold Remediation
Bloomington’s 1950s and 60s ramblers are especially prone to hidden mold after water events, because many sit on slab foundations with minimal vapor barriers. We find it, remove it, and fix the moisture source so it doesn’t return. Learn more about our Mold Remediation in Bloomington.
Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration
Smoke travels through ductwork and wall cavities far beyond the visible burn area. We clean what can be saved and rebuild what can’t, working directly with your adjuster along the way. Learn more about our Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Bloomington.
Storm & Disaster Restoration
When spring snowmelt and heavy rain hit Bloomington at the same time, basements across the south side pay the price. We provide Storm & Disaster Restoration in Bloomington and respond fast, tarp roofs, board windows, and start extraction while the damage is still spreading.
Sewage Cleanup
Backed-up sanitary lines are a serious health hazard, not just a mess. Wade’s crew provides Bloomington Sewage Cleanup, removes the contamination, sanitizes the area, and tests to make sure it’s safe before anyone lives in the space again.
Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup
Some calls are harder than others. We handle our Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup in Bloomington with discretion, respect, and the same thoroughness we bring to every job.
Reconstruction & Cleanup
After the water is gone and the fire is out, someone has to rebuild. We do Bloomington Reconstruction & Cleanup too, from drywall and paint to full room rebuilds, with a written scope before any work starts.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Bloomington
We’re local to this city, and we know the difference between a basement on a slab in East Bloomington and a crawlspace split-level over by Hyland Lake. Typical response time across Bloomington is under an hour for water emergencies.

Why Bloomington’s Climate & Housing Affect Damage Restoration
Bloomington has a problem most neighboring cities don’t. The city’s southern boundary runs right along the Minnesota River floodplain, and Nine Mile Creek winds through the residential interior. That means flood and water damage here isn’t a once-a-decade event. It’s a recurring, multi-season reality. Restoration work in Bloomington often involves navigating FEMA flood zone designations and Hennepin County floodplain permitting that suburbs like Richfield or Burnsville rarely see at this scale.
The housing stock makes it worse. Most homes in the 55420 ZIP and surrounding areas are postwar ramblers and split-levels built between the 1950s and early 1970s. Many sit on slab-on-grade or shallow crawlspace foundations. When water gets in, it reaches living areas fast. Original galvanized plumbing and minimal vapor barriers mean mold colonization after a water event is accelerated, and remediation scopes tend to run larger than in newer construction.

FAQs About Damage Restoration in Bloomington
Wade and his crew can typically arrive within an hour anywhere in Bloomington, including the 55420 ZIP and neighborhoods near Nine Mile Creek. Wade takes calls directly at (888) 690-6095, and the extraction equipment goes on the road as soon as he hangs up. Water damage spreads by the minute, so speed matters more than almost anything else on this call.
Most Bloomington homeowner policies cover sudden water damage like a burst pipe, but mold coverage varies and flood damage from the Minnesota River or Nine Mile Creek usually requires a separate FEMA flood policy. Wade deals with the adjuster directly, so you’re never stuck relaying information between two sides. He also documents everything with photos and daily moisture logs, which makes the claim process cleaner. Call (888) 690-6095 and Wade will walk you through what your policy is likely to cover.
In Bloomington’s older slab-on-grade homes, mold you can see is usually only part of what’s there. The 1950s and 60s construction in this city often lacks vapor barriers, which means moisture and mold spread behind walls and under flooring faster than you’d expect. A quick surface cleaning won’t address the hidden growth. Wade can inspect and tell you honestly if remediation is needed or if you’re dealing with a smaller issue. The assessment is free.
Nine Mile Creek drains a large impervious suburban catchment, and during heavy rainfall the creek surcharges and backs pressure into Bloomington’s storm and sanitary systems. That causes sump pump failures and sewage backups in finished basements on streets two or three blocks from the visible waterway. It’s a failure pattern specific to this city’s creek drainage geography, and it’s why Wade’s crew knows Bloomington’s trouble spots by street, not just by ZIP code.
Wade’s crew, every time. Background-checked, uniformed, and trained to the IICRC standard. Wade himself is often on site, especially for the first assessment. He’s not a franchise owner who lives three states away. He’s local, he publishes his address, and he answers his own phone. You can call (888) 690-6095 right now and hear his voice.

What Bloomington 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
