Fire damage in Ontario doesn’t wait, and neither do we.

We answer the phone live at (855) 915-0646, 24 hours a day. Wade Ferris built this company in 2007 to be the restoration outfit he’d want at his own door: local, direct, and accountable by name.

Call (855) 915-0646

Most Ontario fire jobs we handle start with a call from a homeowner standing in their own living room, not sure what’s safe to touch. We walk you through the first steps on the phone, then head your way. For homes in 91762, 91764, 91758, or 91761, we’re typically on-site within the hour. For the big tilt-up warehouses east of the 15, we arrive with commercial drying equipment already loaded.

You’re not calling a national call center. You’re calling a restoration company that publishes its owner’s name and sends crews who live and work in the Inland Empire. That matters when the job is your home.

Why Wade’s Restoration of California Is Ontario’s Preferred Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Company

We’re not the biggest restoration company in Ontario, and that’s intentional. Wade’s Restoration runs on a simple model: the owner’s name is on the truck, his address is published, and he’s going to run into you again at the grocery store on Euclid Avenue. That’s the oldest accountability mechanism there is, and it works.

Our Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration team has spent years working inside Ontario’s two very different housing worlds: the 1920s-to-1950s homes of the old Model Colony grid in western Ontario, and the 1980s-and-newer tract subdivisions east of the 15. We know how smoke behaves in a 1940s bungalow with original lath-and-plaster walls versus a 1990s stucco tract home with synthetic decking. That knowledge changes how we scope the job, not just how we clean it.

Wade answers his own phone. Not an answering service, not a triage script. When you call about smoke damage in Ontario at 2 a.m., you get a real person who can make decisions. He can have extraction running inside the hour and a board-up crew behind it. Every job we do in Ontario carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if it’s not done right, Wade makes it right. One call brings him back.

Our Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Services in Ontario

Fire Damage Cleanup

Fire cleanup in Ontario splits into two very different jobs depending on which side of town you’re on. In western Ontario’s Model Colony homes, we’re often working around original plaster, hardwood floors, and tight crawlspaces where smoke gets pulled into every void. In eastern Ontario’s newer tracts, the challenge is usually synthetic materials: vinyl windows, composite decking, and engineered trusses that off-gas chemicals requiring more aggressive HEPA scrubbing and thermal fogging. We scope both accurately before we touch anything.

Smoke & Soot Removal

Smoke and soot removal in Ontario means accounting for Santa Ana wind behavior. When those winds drive embers into attic spaces through aging tile underlayment or compromised roof penetrations, soot doesn’t just settle on surfaces, it gets pulled through the whole house by the pressure differential. Our crews use HEPA air scrubbers, dry-ice blasting on masonry, and chemical sponge work on painted surfaces to pull soot out rather than smear it deeper. We photograph everything before, during, and after for your insurance file.

Odor Removal & Deodorization

Ontario’s dry climate can fool you. Smoke odor in our low-humidity air sometimes fades for a day or two, then comes roaring back when the house warms up or you run the AC. That’s because odor molecules have settled into porous materials: drywall, insulation, ducting, and especially the fiberglass insulation in older crawlspaces. We use thermal fogging, ozone treatment where appropriate, and hydroxyl generators for occupied spaces. In homes where smoke got pulled into the HVAC system, we clean and seal the ductwork rather than just masking the smell with deodorizer.

Contents Cleaning & Pack-Out

When a fire hits a home in Ontario, the contents often survive even when the room doesn’t. We do full contents cleaning and pack-out: we inventory everything, pack it, haul it to our cleaning facility, and restore what’s restorable. That includes electronics from 1980s tract homes in 91761, family photos from Model Colony homes in 91762, and the contents of commercial break rooms in Ontario’s warehouse district. We document everything with photos and itemized lists for adjusters, and we don’t throw anything away without written sign-off from you or your insurer.

Trusted Brands We Service in Ontario

We don’t cut corners on equipment, because Ontario’s fire-and-smoke jobs don’t allow it. Our crews run Dri-Eaz drying mats and Phoenix desiccant dehumidifiers on the big commercial losses off Milliken Avenue, and the same equipment on house fires in 91764. We carry what we need for fast turnaround on Ontario jobs, including HEPA air scrubbers, Injectidry panels, and B-Air filtration units. The work is backed by IICRC-certified training and RIA best practices, which matters when your insurance adjuster asks who did the restoration. Wade’s team is background-checked, uniformed, and trained to the standard your insurer expects, not the shortcut that gets the job done cheaper.

Common Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Problems We See in Ontario Homes

• Galvanized supply lines bursting under Chino Basin water chemistry. Western Ontario’s Model Colony homes still have original galvanized pipes that corrode aggressively in the high-pH groundwater. When one lets go during or after a fire event, it floods the crawlspace and traps smoke residue in fiberglass insulation that then has to come out completely. Water damage and smoke damage compound each other.
• Clay-tile sewer laterals cracking from root intrusion. Older western Ontario homes sit on clay-tile sewer lines that roots have been working on for decades. When a nearby fire creates negative pressure, smoke gets drawn into the house through dry P-traps in floor drains. Fixing that odor means replacing the lateral, not just cleaning ducts, and that’s a different job order entirely.
• Santa Ana winds driving embers into attic spaces. Ontario sits in a valley pocket where Santa Ana gusts accelerate off the San Gabriel foothills. Those winds strip roofing and drive embers into attics, especially in eastern Ontario’s 1980s tract homes with aging tile underlayment. The synthetic decking under those tiles off-gasses toxic smoke that standard ozone can’t neutralize.
• Single-ply membrane roofs on aging warehouses. Eastern Ontario’s logistics corridor is full of 1990s-era tilt-up warehouses with TPO or EPDM roofs now past their 20-25 year service life. A fire-suppression discharge or roof failure inside one of these buildings becomes a commercial drying job measured in square footage and humidity levels, not rooms.
