Why East La Mirada Homeowners Choose Wade’s Restoration of California
Wade Ferris started this company in 2007 because he was tired of watching national franchises quote one price on the phone and a different one at the front door. His name is on the truck, his address is published, and he’ll run into you again at the grocery store, which is the oldest accountability mechanism there is. Homeowners in the neighborhoods along Santa Gertrudes Avenue and around Behringer Park call us because we show up when we say we will, do the work we said we’d do, and put the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing on every water, fire, and mold restoration job. If it’s not done right, Wade makes it right. One call brings him back.
Wade’s crew is background-checked, uniformed, and trained on professional-grade equipment from Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, and Injectidry. Every technician carries IICRC credentials, and the company holds RIA and IFA affiliations. But what homeowners in East La Mirada mention most is the moisture log. Wade takes readings every single day on water jobs and hands you the full log when the work is done. Almost nobody in this trade does that. You get to see, in writing, that the walls are actually dry, not just told they are.
Damage Restoration Services We Offer in East La Mirada
Water Damage Restoration
Burst supply lines, failed water heaters, and slab leaks are the calls we get most often in East La Mirada’s 1955-1972 tract homes. We extract, dry, and document every step so your insurance adjuster gets a complete picture, and you get the full moisture log at the end. Learn more about our Water Damage Restoration in East La Mirada.
Mold Remediation
East La Mirada’s older ranch homes hide mold behind intact-looking walls, especially around original lath-and-plaster and cracked chimney mortar from the 1987 Whittier Narrows earthquake. Wade’s team finds it, removes it, and fixes the moisture source so it doesn’t come back. Learn more about our Mold Remediation in East La Mirada.
Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration
Kitchen fires, electrical fires, and smoke damage need fast, thorough cleanup before soot etches surfaces permanently. We handle the full scope from board-up to final coat of paint, coordinating directly with your adjuster the whole way. Learn more about our Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in East La Mirada.
Storm & Disaster Restoration
Santa Ana winds and El Niño rain years hit East La Mirada hard, tearing at aging composition roofs and driving water under flashing. Our East La Mirada Storm & Disaster Restoration team is ready to respond. We tarp, extract, dry, and rebuild, and we photograph everything for your claim before demo starts.
Sewage Cleanup
Backed-up sewer lines in older neighborhoods are a health hazard that needs immediate, proper sanitation, not just a mop. We remove contaminated materials, sanitize to IICRC standards, and document it all for insurance.
Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup
These are the calls nobody plans for. We handle them with discretion, thoroughness, and the same written scope and documentation we use on every job. Nobody should have to clean that alone.
Reconstruction & Cleanup
Once the water’s out or the fire’s out, someone has to put the house back together. We do that too, from drywall to flooring to full rebuilds, priced in writing and scheduled like a remodel, not an emergency.
Neighborhoods We Serve in East La Mirada
East La Mirada is small enough that we know the streets, not just the zip code. Here’s where you’ll see our trucks most often:
- Neighborhoods along Santa Gertrudes Avenue
- The streets around Behringer Park
- Homes near the Puente Hills base on the eastern edge
- The ranch tracts off Leffingwell Road
- The 1950s-60s homes near the La Mirada border
Typical response time in the 90603 area is under an hour for emergency water and sewage calls. Wade answers his own phone, so there’s no dispatch queue between you and the guy who’ll be standing in your living room.
Why East La Mirada’s Climate & Housing Affect Damage Restoration
East La Mirada is an unincorporated Los Angeles County community, which means every restoration permit runs through LA County Building & Safety rather than a local city hall. That’s a slower, more layered permitting path than neighboring incorporated cities like La Mirada or Whittier, and it can stretch project timelines if your contractor doesn’t know the process. We do, and we build that into the scope from day one so you’re not left wondering why the inspector hasn’t shown up.
The housing stock here is another factor. East La Mirada’s homes were mostly built between 1955 and 1972, many with original galvanized supply lines, lath-and-plaster walls, and aging composition roofs. That combination means moisture mapping takes longer, walls dry slower, and demolition often uncovers asbestos-containing materials that require specialized handling and additional permitting. Wade’s team has worked enough of these houses to know what’s behind the drywall before we open it up.

FAQs About Damage Restoration in East La Mirada
For water, sewage, and fire calls, Wade typically arrives within the hour in the 90603 area. He answers his own phone 24/7, so there’s no answering service or queue between you and the person who’ll be standing in your house. Call (855) 915-0646 and Wade heads out.
Most homeowner policies cover sudden water damage, fire, and storm damage, but coverage varies by cause, policy type, and documentation quality. Wade deals directly with your adjuster, and we photograph everything before demolition starts so your claim has the evidence it needs. You’re never stuck relaying information between two sides.
In East La Mirada’s older ranch homes, what looks like surface mold is often hiding behind lath-and-plaster walls or inside wall cavities fed by cracked chimney mortar from the ’87 earthquake. That’s why our Mold Remediation in East La Mirada starts with finding the real source. A surface cleaning does nothing if the moisture source is still active. Wade’s moisture readings will show you exactly what you’re dealing with, and the free second opinion on any written estimate means you don’t have to take anyone’s word for it.
Because East La Mirada is unincorporated, restoration permits run through LA County Building & Safety rather than a municipal department. Wade’s team handles the permitting paperwork and timelines as part of the written scope, so you’re not left navigating the county’s process alone.
It means if the work isn’t done right, Wade makes it right. It’s stamped in writing on every water, fire, and mold restoration contract we sign in East La Mirada. One call brings him back. No fine print, no arguing about whose fault it was.

What East La Mirada 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"Excellent emergency response and honest about what could and could not be saved. The equipment ran in the house for six days and the noise was genuinely hard to live with, though he did explain why it had to."
- Grantham Fairweather"The first company I rang wanted to tear out the hardwood immediately. Wade said if he could get it dry in seventy two hours it would come back, and it did. Saved us the floor and a great deal of money."
- Esperanza Villarreal
