Damage Restoration Services in Saint Francis, MN
When water, fire, or mold hits a home in Saint Francis, the first few hours decide how much damage sticks around. Most restoration calls we get from the 55070 ZIP start with one of three things: a sump pump that quit during a spring thaw, an ice dam that let water sneak behind the drywall, or a finished basement that took on Rum River floodwater. We answer the phone 24/7, and Wade Ferris heads out personally to the first call of the day, every day. If you’re standing in water right now, call (888) 690-6095.

Why Saint Francis Homeowners Choose Wade’s Restoration of Minneapolis
Saint Francis is a small town with a long memory. People here talk, and they remember who showed up, who answered the phone himself, and who handed over a moisture log without being asked. Wade Ferris founded this company in 2007 and still runs it like a man who plans to bump into you at the hardware store on a Saturday. That’s not marketing. It’s just how he works.
We serve homes all through Saint Francis, from the neighborhoods along Rum River Boulevard down to the newer developments west of Highway 47. Homeowners in the Harvest Hills area and the streets around Pioneer Park call us for everything from Saint Francis Sewage Cleanup to attic mold, and they call for the same reason: a real person picks up, a real plan gets made, and nobody hides behind a call center.
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. That’s the whole promise, and it’s on the contract.
Damage Restoration Services We Offer in Saint Francis
Water Damage Restoration
A burst pipe or backed-up sump in a Saint Francis split-level can soak carpet, drywall, and the subfloor in under an hour. We extract fast, set professional-grade drying equipment from Phoenix and Dri-Eaz, and take moisture readings every day until the structure is dry. Learn more about our Water Damage Restoration in Saint Francis.
Mold Remediation
Mold in Saint Francis homes tends to hide in the same places: behind baseboards after a slow leak, under basement carpet that never fully dried, and inside attic sheathing after an ice dam winter. We identify the moisture source first, then remove the mold and document the whole process. Learn more about our Mold Remediation in Saint Francis.
Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration
Even a small kitchen fire leaves soot in places you won’t see for weeks. We handle soot cleanup, smoke odor removal, and the structural repairs that follow, and Wade walks you through what insurance needs from day one. Learn more about our Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Saint Francis.
Storm & Disaster Restoration
Wind, hail, and the spring snowmelt that pushes the Rum River over its banks all show up in Saint Francis. We provide Storm & Disaster Restoration in Saint Francis, tarping roofs, boarding windows, and getting water out of basements before the second wave of damage sets in.
Sewage Cleanup
Raw sewage in a basement is a health hazard and a gut-job if it sits too long. We remove the waste, sterilize every affected surface, and make sure no contaminated material gets left behind the walls.
Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup
Some jobs require patience, discretion, and proper disposal protocols. Wade and his crew handle our Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup in Saint Francis quietly and completely, restoring the space so a family can begin moving forward.

Why Saint Francis’s Climate & Housing Affect Damage Restoration
Saint Francis sits along the Rum River in northern Anoka County, and that river is the single biggest local factor in the restoration work we do here. Spring snowmelt pushes the river up fast, and the clay-heavy soils left behind from the farmland this town was built on don’t drain well. Water pools around foundations, finds the weak spots, and presses in.
Then you add the housing stock. Most Saint Francis homes went up between the late 1990s and early 2010s: suburban tract construction with OSB sheathing, engineered floor systems, and fully finished basements. That sheathing soaks up moisture fast and holds it. Those finished basements hide leaks until the drywall starts to swell. And that era of construction often included just one sump pump with no battery backup. When the power flickers during a spring storm, the pump goes quiet and the basement fills up. We see it every single March and April.

FAQs About Damage Restoration in Saint Francis
For water emergencies inside the 55070 ZIP, Wade or a member of his crew is usually on site within an hour. Call (888) 690-6095 and a live person answers, day or night.
The clay-heavy soils around Saint Francis saturate fast when snow melts, and many 1990s and 2000s homes here were built with a single sump pump and no battery backup. A power flicker during a spring storm kills the pump, and the water has nowhere to go. We recommend battery backups on every estimate we write.
Most homeowners policies cover sudden water damage, fire, and storm-related losses, but the details matter. Wade documents everything with photos and talks directly to your adjuster, so you’re never stuck playing messenger between two sides.
If the visible mold traces back to a hidden moisture source, surface cleaning won’t stop it from returning. We find the source, remove the affected material, and dry the space properly. A written scope shows exactly what’s needed, nothing more.
Every water, fire, and mold job includes it in writing. If something isn’t done right within 90 days of completion, Wade comes back and makes it right at no charge. One call brings him back.

What Saint Francis 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
