Damage Restoration Services in Eagan, MN
When water is pouring into your finished basement off a pond-adjacent street in Eagan, the only question that matters is how fast someone answers the phone. Wade Ferris answers his own. A live person picks up 24/7 at (888) 690-6095. And because Wade knows Eagan’s 55123 streets from Highline Trail down to Thomas Lake, he doesn’t need GPS to understand what a flooded split-level on heavy Dakota County clay is up against. The truck heads out fast, and the first extraction equipment can be running inside the hour.
This page covers every restoration service we handle in Eagan, what work typically costs here, how the local housing stock changes what we find on a job, and what to do in the first thirty minutes after damage hits.

Why Eagan Homeowners Choose Wade’s Restoration of Minneapolis
Ask anyone on your street. Not because we’re strangers running ads, but because Wade’s been the guy homeowners in Eagan call when a national outfit burned them once already. The name on the truck is the guy who will be in your house, and his published address and license number mean you can find him on a Saturday at the hardware store. That’s the whole accountability model, and it has worked since 2007.
Crews serving Eagan carry IICRC and RIA credentials, and they show up in uniform, background-checked, with equipment from Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, and Injectidry in the trailer. We work neighborhoods like Fish Lake and the homes around Oak Pond regularly. Those repeat flood calls from the same 1980s slabs? We know which streets get wet before the city even clears the storm drains. We’re familiar with the EIFS-clad homes in the Lexington Pointe area where moisture hides behind 1990s stucco for years before anyone sees a stain on the drywall.
Every water, fire, and mold restoration job in Eagan comes with the 90-Day Done Right Promise, in writing. If it’s not done right, Wade makes it right. One call brings him back.
Damage Restoration Services We Offer in Eagan
Water Damage Restoration
Burst supply lines, failed sump pumps, and spring groundwater intrusion are the three calls we run most in Eagan. We extract, dry, and dry out the framing right the first time so you don’t get a mold call six months later. Wade takes moisture readings every single day and hands you the full log at the end of the job.

Mold Remediation
Dakota County’s clay soil keeps basement humidity high from April through October in Eagan, and once drywall wicks that moisture, mold follows within weeks. We contain the affected area, remove contaminated material, and document everything for your adjuster. Then we dry the structure to a level that actually prevents recurrence, not just paints over it.

Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration
A kitchen fire in an Eagan home leaves smoke residue in every room even where flames never touched. Wade’s crew handles board-up, soot removal, odor neutralization, and the full rebuild afterward. We work directly with your insurance adjuster so you’re not the one relaying information between two sides.

Storm & Disaster Restoration
Hail damage, wind-driven rain, and ice dams in January and February are all part of what Eagan homes endure. We tarp roofs, extract flooded basements, and stabilize affected areas before Storm & Disaster Restoration in Eagan moves into permanent repairs. Storm work here often means coordinating with your adjuster while the next system rolls in, and we move fast.
Sewage Cleanup
Sewage backup in Eagan is a health issue the moment water backs up through a floor drain in a 1980s basement. We remove contaminated water and porous materials, disinfect the affected area, and verify the space is safe before family or pets go back down. This is not a cleanup you want to attempt with bleach and a shop vac - call Eagan Sewage Cleanup instead.
Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup
We handle the difficult stuff with respect: unattended deaths, trauma scenes, hoarding conditions, and our Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup in Eagan covers all of it. Our crews are trained for proper containment, removal, and disposal under state regulations. Call day or night and Wade will walk you through what needs to happen, step by step.
Reconstruction & Cleanup
After the water is out, the mold is gone, or the fire damage is cleaned, someone has to put your home back together. We handle Eagan Reconstruction & Cleanup from full reconstruction through framing, drywall, flooring, paint, and finish work. Same crew you already know, same written scope before work starts. No mystery subcontractors, no surprises on the final invoice.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Eagan

Why Eagan’s Climate & Housing Affect Damage Restoration
Eagan’s building boom ran hard from the late 1970s through the 1990s, and the city built more than 500 stormwater management ponds to handle runoff from all those new subdivisions. That pond network is a point of local pride until a heavy spring snowmelt overwhelms it. Finished basements in the split-levels and two-story colonials built during that era sit low, with footing drains set in Dakota County clay that drains poorly on its best day. When the water table rises after a big snow year, those drains lose the fight, and groundwater pushes through the slab and the cove joints.
Then there’s the ice dam season. Minnesota’s freeze-thaw cycles hammer the lower-pitch roof sections common on Eagan’s 1980s ramblers. Meltwater backs up behind ice dams in January and February, works under shingles, and soaks ceilings and insulation. The restoration work that follows in the spring often reveals EIFS cladding on the exterior walls that has been quietly trapping moisture for years. Pull a failing synthetic stucco panel off a home near Fish Lake and you’ll often find rot that predates the storm that finally drove you to call. We see this exact combination of multilayered water damage across Eagan addresses more than in any neighboring suburb.

FAQs About Damage Restoration in Eagan
Within the hour, in most cases. Wade answers his own phone at (888) 690-6095 and heads out from the metro office with extraction equipment in the truck as soon as the call ends. 55123 is a quick ride from the dispatch point, and on water emergencies speed is the difference between drying a carpet and gutting a basement. Call now, not after you’ve spent an hour bailing with a bucket.
Most Eagan homeowner policies cover sudden and accidental water damage like a burst supply line or a failed water heater. What they often don’t cover is groundwater flooding unless you carry a specific flood endorsement. Wade deals with your adjuster directly and documents every moisture reading with a daily log you get at the end of the job, so the claim has the paperwork it needs. Call (888) 690-6095 and we’ll tell you what we see before any work is authorized.
That depends on what actually got wet. A clean-water supply line break in a finished Eagan basement can sometimes be extracted and dried without removing drywall. But if groundwater from Dakota County’s clay-saturated spring conditions sat for more than 24 hours, or the water came from a sewer backup, structural drying and material removal are the standard. Wade will tell you honestly which situation you have and show you the moisture meter readings that back up the recommendation.
It comes down to elevation, footing drain depth, and proximity to the stormwater pond system. Homes on pond-adjacent streets in Fish Lake, Highline Trail, and Thomas Lake sit closer to the seasonal water table, and 1980s slab construction on poorly draining clay means the water has nowhere to go after a big snow year. The same addresses show up on restoration dispatch logs every two to three years. If that’s your house, we’ve probably already worked in your neighborhood.
Yes. Wade communicates directly with your adjuster from the first assessment through the final invoice and hands you the full documentation along the way, daily moisture logs included, so you’re never the one relaying technical information between two sides. It’s part of how the 90-Day Done Right Promise works in practice. Call (888) 690-6095 for a free estimate, and if you already have a written estimate from anyone else, bring it. Wade will give you a free second opinion on it.

What Eagan Customers Say
"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"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."
