Why Fridley Homeowners Choose Wade’s Restoration of Minneapolis
Most of the folks who call us are done with the national outfits. They’ve been burned once already, quoted a number on the phone and a different one at the door. Wade runs this company the opposite way: his name’s on the truck and his address is published. When he hands you a written scope before any work starts, you know exactly what you’re paying for and what’s getting done.
We work all over Fridley, up through the neighborhoods off East River Road, around Moore Lake, and across the blocks along Highway 65. Floors in Fridley tell a story, and we’ve read it a hundred times. New flooring pulled back to reveal an older water job done years ago, before modern drying standards, still rotting quietly underneath. Wade’s crew doesn’t just dry the surface and walk away. He takes moisture readings every single day and hands you the full log when the job’s done. Almost nobody in the trade does that. It’s the kind of thing that matters when you’re 60 years old and you want to know the problem is actually fixed, not just hidden.
Fridley residents also value that we don’t make them play telephone with the insurance company. Wade talks to the adjuster directly, so you’re not stuck relaying technical drying language between two people who’ve never met.
Damage Restoration Services We Offer in Fridley
Water Damage Restoration
Burst pipe, snowmelt flooding, appliance failure, whatever it is, Wade’s on the road within the hour and running Dri-Eaz and XPOWER extraction equipment before the water spreads further into your subfloor. Fridley’s ranch homes soak water fast through original 1960s framing, so speed matters more here than in newer construction.
Learn more about our Water Damage Restoration in Fridley.
Mold Remediation
Fridley’s flat terrain and aging stormwater systems mean water sits longer after heavy rain, and mold follows fast. We test, contain, remove, and dry, with background-checked, uniformed crew members who respect your home while they’re in it.

Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration
Fridley’s mid-century homes burn differently than new builds, with original materials like textured ceilings and old insulation creating a particular smoke odor that settles into everything. We handle board-up, soot removal, content cleaning, and full reconstruction, and Wade meets your adjuster on site so everyone sees the same damage at the same time.

Storm & Disaster Restoration
When spring snowmelt hits the low-lying western blocks near the Mississippi, Wade’s crew knows which Fridley neighborhoods flood first and what those basements look like when we arrive. We tarp, extract, dry, and rebuild, and we document everything with photos for your claim.
Sewage Cleanup
Sewer backup is a nasty part of life in Fridley when heavy rain follows frozen ground. Wade’s crew arrives in full protective gear, removes the contaminated water, sanitizes every surface, and dries the space with commercial-grade B-Air equipment so your family isn’t breathing that air a week later.
Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup
Wade handles these jobs with discretion and thoroughness. No homeowner should ever be left to clean a biohazard alone, and we’re available 24/7 when the worst happens.
Reconstruction & Cleanup
Once the drying’s done and the adjuster’s been through, Wade’s crew rebuilds walls, floors, and finishes so your home is whole again. This work is scoped, scheduled, and priced in writing, the way a remodel should be.

Why Fridley’s Climate & Housing Affect Damage Restoration
Fridley sits flat against the Mississippi, and the housing stock tells the story: single-story ranches and split-levels built in the 1950s, 60s, and early 70s, many of them replacing homes lost in the 1965 flood and tornado outbreak. That means mid-century materials are everywhere, asbestos floor tile, textured ceilings, lead paint, and any serious water or fire job triggers testing and abatement before restoration can even start. It’s a liability problem newer suburbs just don’t have, and it’s exactly why you want a restoration company that’s already navigated it in Fridley, not one figuring it out on your dime.
Crews working the East River Road corridor also learn to budget for multiple layers of prior water damage in subfloors. These homes have flooded before, sometimes more than once since 1965, and it’s common to find the ghost of an older remediation job under newer flooring that was never properly dried. Wade’s daily moisture readings catch that old damage and document it for your insurance claim before we put new flooring down.
Spring snowmelt is Fridley’s other recurring headache. The low-lying western neighborhoods near the river and Moore Lake collect runoff every year, and when frozen ground follows heavy rain, sewer backup rides right in behind it. That’s why we keep extraction equipment stocked and ready for Fridley’s 55432 specifically.

FAQs About Damage Restoration in Fridley
Inside an hour for water extraction in Fridley, usually faster. Wade answers his own phone at (888) 690-6095 and heads out as soon as you call. Call now, and he’s on the road.
Most water, fire, and storm damage in Fridley is covered under standard homeowners policies, but the details matter. Wade deals directly with your adjuster, photographs everything, and hands you documentation your insurance company actually respects.
If water sat for more than 24 hours, mold is already starting, and a surface cleaning won’t touch it. In Fridley’s older ranch homes, what looks like a small leak often hides bigger damage in the subfloor. Wade’s free second opinion on any written estimate gives you an honest answer, not an upsell.
Wade does. You don’t have to relay technical drying logs or argue about what counts as necessary work. He’s done this since 2007 and speaks the insurance industry’s language fluently.
Any serious restoration job in Fridley’s 1950s-60s housing stock requires testing and possibly abatement of original materials before work can proceed. Wade’s crew has handled this in Fridley homes many times and will walk you through exactly what’s required, what it costs, and what insurance covers.

What Fridley 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
