Fast, Reliable Mold Remediation Across Edina
Mold remediation in Edina typically runs $1,800-$6,500 depending on how far the growth has spread and what’s behind your walls. Most jobs in Edina are done within 3-5 days once we start, and we can usually have a crew at your door the same day you call. Wade Ferris founded Wade’s Restoration of Minneapolis in 2007, and he still answers his own phone at (888) 690-6095. If you’ve got mold in a Country Club District Tudor or a 1950s rambler near Yorktown Park, we know exactly what we’re walking into before we open the first wall.
Why Wade’s Restoration of Minneapolis Is Edina’s Preferred Mold Remediation Company
Edina homeowners don’t call a national franchise and hope for the best. They call someone whose name is on the truck. Wade Ferris runs this company himself, publishes his address and license number, and has been doing restoration work since 2007. When we tell you we’ll be there, Wade or one of his background-checked, uniformed crew members shows up. Not a subcontractor you’ve never met.
Our Edina customers tend to be people who’ve been burned before, either by a quote that changed at the door or by a crew that tore out original millwork without asking. That’s not how we work. Every mold job gets a written scope before we touch anything. You see exactly what we’re doing, why we’re doing it, and what it costs. And every job, no exceptions, is covered by our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not done right, Wade makes it right. One call brings him back.
Wade takes moisture readings every single day and hands you the full log when the job is done. Almost nobody in this trade does that. It matters in Edina, where horsehair plaster and old-growth framing dry differently than modern drywall, and where guessing wrong means mold comes back in six weeks.
Our Mold Remediation Services in Edina
Mold Inspection & Testing
Before we remove anything, we find out what we’re dealing with. In Edina, that often means testing air samples in finished basements near Nine Mile Creek, where spring flooding leaves dampness that lingers. A typical mold inspection and air quality test in Edina runs $350-$650, and the report tells you what species you’re dealing with, how concentrated it is, and whether it’s spreading through your HVAC. We also do post-remediation verification testing so you know the air is clean before we close the walls back up.
Mold Removal
Mold removal in Edina homes usually costs $1,500-$5,000 depending on square footage affected and what’s behind the drywall or plaster. We contain the work area with negative air pressure, run HEPA air scrubbers, and physically remove contaminated materials rather than just spraying and hoping. In a 1920s Country Club District home, we’re often working around original millwork and period plaster that we protect rather than demo. That’s the difference between a remediation that preserves your home’s value and one that guts it.
Black Mold Remediation
Black mold, usually Stachybotrys, shows up in Edina homes where water has been sitting a while, often behind a slow supply-line leak or under a basement subfloor after a Nine Mile Creek flood event. Black mold remediation in Edina typically runs $2,500-$7,000 because the affected area is usually more extensive than homeowners realize. We seal the area, remove affected materials, and treat surrounding surfaces. If you’re seeing black staining on your drywall or smelling a musty odor you can’t place, call us before you start poking at it. Disturbing black mold releases spores into the air.
Air Quality Restoration
After mold is removed, the air in your home still carries spores, mycotoxins, and that damp smell. Air quality restoration in Edina runs $400-$900 and involves HEPA air scrubbing, HVAC cleaning, and in some cases fogging. We use B-Air and XPOWER equipment to filter the air down to 0.3 microns. Post-remediation air testing is standard on our jobs in Edina, because in a home with original plaster and old HVAC ductwork, you can’t just assume the air is clean.
We also handle Mold Remediation for crawl spaces, finished basements, attic assemblies, and HVAC systems throughout Edina.

Trusted Brands We Service in Edina
We run professional-grade equipment from XPOWER and B-Air on every Edina job, and we follow IICRC standards throughout. We don’t use rental-shop fans or homeowner dehumidifiers. In Edina’s high-end homes, the equipment matters just as much for what it doesn’t do: it doesn’t overheat, it doesn’t blow particulates around, and it doesn’t leave your finished basement looking like a construction site. If you’ve got a specific remediation concern tied to your home’s age or finish level, call Wade directly and ask what he’d run on the job. He’ll tell you.
Common Mold Remediation Problems We See in Edina Homes
- Premature rebuilds that trap moisture in plaster walls. Well-meaning contractors in Edina open a wall, dry it for two days, and rebuild. Horsehair plaster in Country Club District homes holds water differently than drywall. It releases moisture slowly. We adjust drying calculations and run moisture logs daily so we’re not closing up walls that aren’t actually dry.
- Mold in shallow dirt-floor crawl spaces under 1950s ramblers. Central and eastern Edina has a huge number of ramblers and split-levels with crawl spaces that were never sealed or insulated. Moisture wicks up from the dirt, rises into hardwood floors, and keeps showing up on post-remediation air tests. We treat the source, not just the symptom.
- Over-aggressive demolition that destroys original millwork. In Edina’s luxury market, the trim around a door can be worth more than the door itself. We remove and preserve what we can, and we flag what can’t be saved before we touch it. If you live in a home built before 1940, our crew treats it like the irreplaceable asset it is.
- Mold returning after a spring melt or creek flood. Nine Mile Creek’s watershed runs through Edina, and every March through May we see basements and crawl spaces that flooded. If the underlying water issue isn’t solved, mold comes back. We identify the water source first, then remediate. That’s the order that works.

FAQs - Mold Remediation in Edina
Plaster holds moisture longer and releases it more slowly than drywall, so drying time runs 30-50% longer in pre-war homes. We adjust our drying calculations accordingly and run daily moisture readings to confirm the wall is actually dry before we rebuild. Skip that step and the mold re-blooms within weeks inside your finished wall. Call (888) 690-6095 to talk through what we’d do in your specific home.
Yes. Central Edina’s 1950s-1970s ramblers often have shallow, dirt-floor crawl spaces that were never sealed, and that damp air wicks up into hardwood floors and living spaces. We treat the crawl space itself, installing proper vapor barriers and dehumidification where needed, not just wiping down the surface mold and leaving. If you’ve had a mold smell you can’t locate, it’s probably the crawl space.
We flag it immediately. A lot of Country Club District homes still have original knob-and-tube wiring and cast-iron drain stacks behind the walls. If we open a wall and find either, we stop, document what we found, and tell you and your adjuster before we proceed. We don’t touch electrical or plumbing that’s not part of the remediation scope, but we’ll tell you exactly what we saw. This happens on Arden Avenue and throughout the district regularly.
Yes, and it should. We remove, bag, and label original trim, baseboards, and door casings when they need to come off to access mold. If something’s too far gone to save, we’ll show you photos and get your sign-off before it’s discarded. In Edina’s high-end market, preserving original millwork isn’t optional, it’s the difference between a remediation that maintains home value and one that quietly destroys it.
Every spring, snowmelt combined with Nine Mile Creek’s overflow history pushes water into basements and crawl spaces along the creek corridor, and that water sits long enough in spring humidity to trigger mold growth within 48-72 hours. If you’re in a flood-prone area near the creek, have your basement checked each spring after the melt. We offer free second opinions on any written estimate, which is especially useful if your insurance adjuster is pushing back on a remediation scope.
