Why Wade’s Restoration of Minneapolis Is Mound’s Preferred Reconstruction & Cleanup Company
Wade Ferris has answered his own phone since 2007, and that’s still true today. When a Mound homeowner calls at 2 a.m. with a backed-up ejector pump or a collapsed garage ceiling, Wade is the one talking them through the first steps before a crew even rolls. There’s no call-center queue. No national franchise dispatcher reading from a script.
People in Mound stick with us because we keep showing up as the same faces and the same name. Ask anyone on your street. Wade publishes his name, his license number, and his address, and he is going to run into you again on a Saturday. That’s the oldest accountability mechanism there is, and it’s the one that still matters when a contractor is inside your home for three weeks of reconstruction.
Two things separate us on cleanup and rebuild work specifically. First, Wade deals with the insurance adjuster directly, so you’re never relaying technical questions between two sides. Second, every water, fire, and mold restoration job 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.
Our Reconstruction & Cleanup division handles everything from structural framing to finish flooring, and in Mound we schedule around your lake access, your setback constraints, and your HOA requirements where they apply. Response time to Mound from the Minneapolis-St Paul coordination office is consistently under 90 minutes for emergent work.
Our Reconstruction & Cleanup Services in Mound
Full-Service Reconstruction
When a Mound home takes on enough damage that sections need to come down to framing, we handle it as a single accountable rebuild rather than passing you between subs. That includes structural carpentry, sheathing, insulation replacement, and finish carpentry. On 1940s-era lake cottages converted to year-round homes, we commonly find framing that needs correction before new drywall can go up, especially where decades of lake humidity have softened rim joists and sill plates. Scoping that correctly the first time keeps your rebuild from failing a city inspection or, worse, failing a year later.
Drywall & Flooring Repair
Drywall and flooring repairs in Mound run into conditions inland crews rarely see. Crawlspaces and shallow basements pull moisture up through sill plates, which means bottom plate rot and wicking drywall damage are common after even modest flooding. We cut and replace damaged sections, then verify the moisture level in the surrounding framing before we seal anything up. For flooring, we match existing materials where salvage makes sense, and we tell you honestly when it doesn’t. Senior and veteran customers in Mound get 10% off any repair over $200, always.
Contents Restoration & Pack-Out
When a Mound garage or lower level floods, the damage usually reaches stored contents before walls. Wade’s crew can pack out, inventory, clean, and store your belongings while the structure dries and gets rebuilt. We photograph every item before it moves, and we provide the full contents list to your adjuster so nothing is argued about later. For lakefront properties where garage contents are often seasonal gear, tools, and boat equipment, our pack-out process keeps what’s salvageable and documents what isn’t, so your claim reflects reality, not guesswork.
Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning
After a Mound water event, carpet and upholstery that look dry at the surface are often hiding moisture at the pad and subfloor. Our cleaning process extracts at the base layer, not just the visible fiber, using the same professional-grade equipment we run on large-loss restorations. We’ll tell you if cleaning is worth doing or if replacement is the honest call. With the humidity that hangs over Lake Minnetonka through late fall, a carpet that’s not dried to a documented standard will mold. We document the moisture numbers and hand them to you.

Trusted Brands We Service in Mound
We service and rebuild with equipment and parts from brands that hold up in Mound’s lake air: XPOWER air movers and dehumidifiers for drying, B-Air for moisture extraction, and Injectidry systems for hard-to-reach cavities and under-cabinet drying. Our techs are IICRC-certified, which means the drying standards we follow are the ones the industry recognizes. When you need replacement parts for a rebuild, we source locally and stock common components so your job doesn’t stall waiting on a backordered part from a distribution center three states away.
Common Reconstruction & Cleanup Problems We See in Mound Homes
Mound presents a specific set of conditions that shape how we approach reconstruction and cleanup. These aren’t generic bullet points. They’re what we see on actual jobs along Harrisons Bay, Lost Lake, and Jennings Bay:
- Converted cottage framing and shallow foundations. Many Mound homes started as 1940s-1960s seasonal cabins and were winterized without full foundation upgrades. When we open walls after a water event, we find cottage-grade framing, older vapor barriers, and sometimes knob-and-tube wiring in the earliest structures. Any rebuild plan has to account for that before drywall goes back up.
- Lake-driven moisture through foundation walls and slab seams. In Mound’s lakefront zones, groundwater rises with the lake during spring snowmelt and ice-out. That water doesn’t come from a plumbing failure, so it pushes through foundation walls and slab seams in ways an inland crew might misdiagnose. We dry differently here, and we watch the lake level while we do it.
- Tight lakeside lots that complicate equipment access. Narrow peninsula streets and no-alley setbacks mean we often can’t park a dumpster or equipment trailer next to the house. Crews hand-carry drying equipment and materials across saturated yards. That adds planning time, and we factor it into the job schedule from day one, not as a surprise.
- Elevated humidity that compresses the mold window. Open water on Lake Minnetonka keeps relative humidity higher in Mound through late fall and early spring than in inland suburbs. After a water event, that compressed window means cleanup has to start faster. We answer the phone and get moving. Wade heads out as soon as you call, not the next business day.

FAQs - Reconstruction & Cleanup in Mound
Our crews typically reach Mound within 60 to 90 minutes of your call. For emergent water or sewage cleanup, Wade is often on the road before the call ends. The phone is answered by a live person, 24/7, and that person is usually Wade himself. Call (888) 690-6095 and you’ll have a straight answer on arrival time, not a callback window.
Yes. We serve the entire 55364 ZIP, including the lakefront areas along Harrisons Bay, Lost Lake, Jennings Bay, and the peninsula streets where access is tight. If you’re within Mound city limits or the immediate surrounding area, you’re in our service range with no trip charge inside the county. We know which streets give us trouble with equipment access and we plan for it before we arrive.
Insurance coverage depends entirely on your policy language, especially whether you carry flood coverage separately from your standard homeowners policy. Lake-driven water intrusion is often handled differently from a burst pipe. What we do is document everything: photos, daily moisture readings, and the full written scope. We deal with your adjuster directly, so the documentation lands exactly where it needs to land. That’s the part that makes or breaks a claim. Call (888) 690-6095 and we’ll talk through what your situation looks like.
The honest answer is that we don’t know until the moisture readings tell us. If the affected materials are dryable and structurally sound, we clean and dry and you don’t pay for rebuilding you don’t need. If the framing, subfloor, or drywall is saturated past the point of recovery, patching over it will fail. We show you the numbers and write the scope based on what’s actually there, not what’s easiest for us to bill. We’ll never push reconstruction when cleanup is sufficient.
Wade does. You call us, we document the damage, and we communicate directly with your adjuster, including the photos, moisture logs, and the written scope. You’re not relaying information between two sides. You hired one company, and one person’s name is on the work. That’s Wade Ferris.
