Why Falcon Heights Homeowners Choose Wade’s Restoration of Minneapolis
Wade Ferris founded this company in 2007 and put his own name on the truck. His address is published, his license number is on every contract, and he answers his own phone. That’s the entire business model, and it’s one that resonates with people who have dealt with out-of-state franchises that quote one number on the phone and a different one at the front door.
Homeowners in the neighborhoods north of Larpenteur Avenue and around Falcon Heights Elementary regularly see Wade himself on site, not a rotating cast of subcontractors. The crews we send are background-checked, uniformed, and trained on the professional equipment we run: Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, Injectidry, and XPOWER. Every water, fire, and mold job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not done right, Wade makes it right. No fine print, no argument.
We’re IICRC-certified and RIA-affiliated. That matters when your insurance adjuster asks who did the mitigation. It matters more when you’re standing in a wet basement at midnight wondering who to trust.
Damage Restoration Services We Offer in Falcon Heights
Water Damage Restoration
Ice dams, burst pipes, appliance failures, and spring snowmelt are the usual suspects in Falcon Heights. We extract the standing water, dry the structure with commercial dehumidifiers and air movers, and document every moisture reading along the way. Learn more about our Water Damage Restoration in Falcon Heights.
Mold Remediation
Plaster walls in mid-century ramblers hold moisture differently than modern drywall, and that hidden dampness is where mold takes hold. We contain the affected area, remove contaminated materials, and treat the source so it doesn’t return. Learn more about our Mold Remediation in Falcon Heights.
Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration
After a kitchen fire or electrical blaze, soot works its way into every surface and smell lingers in insulation and framing. We clean, deodorize, and rebuild what the fire took. Learn more about our Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Falcon Heights.
Storm & Disaster Restoration
When a summer downpour overwhelms gutters or wind tears shingles off a low-slope roof, water follows fast. We tarp, extract, dry, and get your home back to square one. The same crews who handle Storm & Disaster Restoration - Falcon Heights also know their way around the Fairgrounds campus when something bigger hits.
Sewage Cleanup
Falcon Heights Sewage Cleanup is essential when a backed-up sanitary line becomes a health hazard, not just a mess. We extract the contaminated water, disinfect every affected surface, and remove porous materials that can’t be properly sanitized. This is not a job for a shop vac and bleach.
Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup
These calls are hard, and they require discretion. We handle the cleanup with professionalism and respect for the family involved, working with property owners to restore the space safely.
Reconstruction & Cleanup
Once mitigation is done, Falcon Heights Reconstruction & Cleanup begins. Drywall, flooring, trim, paint. We handle the full sequence from tear-out to final walkthrough, and the scope is agreed upon in writing before a single wall comes down.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Falcon Heights
We work all over Falcon Heights, and because the city is compact, response is quick. Typical arrival time for emergency water extraction is under an hour from the moment you call.

Why Falcon Heights’s Climate & Housing Affect Damage Restoration
Falcon Heights is a small residential enclave almost entirely built out with mid-century single-family homes from the 1940s through the 1960s. These ramblers, cape cods, and modest two-stories carry minimal attic insulation, original plaster-and-lath walls, galvanized supply lines, and shallow roof pitches. All of that matters when something goes wrong. Plaster holds moisture differently than drywall, which changes how we dry a wall cavity. Galvanized pipes fail and corrode in Minnesota’s hard water, and the low-overhang rooflines common across Falcon Heights are exactly the configuration that produces ice dams in January and February. When a thaw follows a hard freeze, snowmelt backs up behind the fascia and seeps into wall cavities. That’s the single most common trigger for residential water-damage calls in this ZIP code. Come March and April, the flat terrain between the Fairgrounds and surrounding blocks saturates with spring snowmelt, and basement seepage calls climb with it. A restoration company working Falcon Heights has to know these patterns cold.
Pricing for Damage Restoration in Falcon Heights
Honest numbers are hard to find in this industry, so here’s a straight answer. Water extraction and drying for a typical Falcon Heights basement runs roughly $1,800 to $4,200 depending on square footage and how far the water traveled. Mold remediation on a contained bathroom or closet starts around $900 and scales up from there. Fire and smoke cleanup typically lands between $3,000 and $12,000 depending on the size of the burn and how much content cleaning is needed. Sewage cleanup runs $2,500 to $6,000 for a standard basement backup. We offer no trip charge inside our own county, a free second opinion on any written estimate, $40 off any repair over $200, and a standing 10% discount for seniors and veterans. Call (888) 690-6095 for an exact number in writing.

FAQs About Damage Restoration in Falcon Heights
In most cases, within an hour. Emergency water extraction starts inside 60 minutes for homes anywhere in Falcon Heights. Call (888) 690-6095 and you’ll speak to a live person who can tell you exactly when to expect us.
Most homeowner policies cover sudden and accidental water damage, like a burst pipe or a failed appliance. What they don’t cover is gradual damage from a leak that’s been running for months, which is why documenting everything matters. Wade deals with your adjuster directly and provides a full moisture log from every single day of the job, so you’re not stuck relaying information between two sides.
That depends on the source and the square footage. Surface mold on tile and grout can be cleaned with the right products. Mold that’s growing inside a wall cavity or under flooring means water is still present, and cleaning the visible spots won’t fix what’s happening behind them. We’ll tell you straight what needs full containment and what doesn’t, and we’ll put that recommendation in writing.
Wade does. Direct communication between the restoration contractor and the adjuster is the only way these claims move without the homeowner getting stuck in the middle. We document everything with photos and moisture readings, and we hand you the full log when the job is done, so there’s never a question about what happened or why.
The housing stock and the Fairgrounds. The city’s mid-century homes were built with materials and roof lines that react to Minnesota winters in very specific ways, and the 320-acre Minnesota State Fairgrounds occupies a substantial share of the city’s land. When a storm hits during the State Fair’s 12-day run, restoration crews face a situation found nowhere else in the metro. We’re set up for both the residential side and the campus side, which means we’re not learning on the job when something big happens in ZIP code 55108. Call (888) 690-6095 and Wade will talk you through it.

What Falcon Heights 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."
