Why Sonoma Homeowners Choose Wade’s Restoration of California
Wade Ferris put his own name on the truck in 2007, and he publishes his address and license number where anyone can find them. That matters in a town like Sonoma, where you’ll run into the person who worked on your house at the Thursday farmers market or outside the Swiss Hotel. He has been in this trade for over 29 years, and he built the company on the old-school idea that if you do right by your neighbors, they tell the next neighbor.
We serve homes near the historic Plaza and throughout the residential streets off East Napa Street and up toward the hillsides. The crew that shows up will be background-checked, uniformed, and using professional equipment from Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, and Injectidry. Wade carries IICRC, RIA, and IFA credentials, and he backs every Sonoma Mold Remediation, water, and fire restoration job with his 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it isn’t done right, he makes it right. One call brings Wade back himself.
Damage Restoration Services We Offer in Sonoma
Water Damage Restoration
A burst supply line or a failed water heater can put hundreds of gallons through a Sonoma home in under an hour. We extract the standing water, map the moisture with daily readings, and dry the structure with commercial-grade equipment so hidden damage doesn’t turn into rot later. Learn more about our Water Damage Restoration in Sonoma.
Mold Remediation
Morning fog rolling north from San Pablo Bay through the Carneros lowlands keeps crawl spaces and older wall assemblies damp much of the year. That humidity means mold moves fast after any water event, and we treat it with containment, HEPA air scrubbing, and written moisture documentation. Learn more about our Mold Remediation in Sonoma.
Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration
Wildfire smoke and ash are the defining restoration challenge in Sonoma, and structural fire damage compounds it. We handle soot and smoke odor removal across historic adobes, Victorians, and modern construction, including HVAC systems and wall cavities where fine ash hides. Learn more about our Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Sonoma.
Storm & Disaster Restoration
When winter rains arrive and gutters back up or hillside runoff finds its way in, we respond fast with extraction equipment and structural drying. Diablo wind events also tear roofing and flashing, which we secure and dry out before secondary damage spreads. Learn more about our storm and disaster restoration work in Sonoma.
Sewage Cleanup
A backed-up sewer line is a health hazard, not just a mess. We remove contaminated water and materials, sanitize the affected area, and dry the space properly so you’re not living with pathogens or lingering odor. Full containment and safe disposal standards apply on every job.
Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup
Some jobs require discretion and thoroughness that only an experienced local crew can provide. We clean, disinfect, and remove affected materials following strict safety protocols, and we deal with your insurance so you don’t have to relive the details over and over with an adjuster.
Reconstruction & Cleanup
After the water is out, the mold is gone, or the smoke is cleaned, the house still has to be put back together. We rebuild what was removed, from drywall and flooring to finish work, and we do it under the same written 90-Day Done Right Promise that covers our restoration work.

Why Sonoma’s Climate & Housing Affect Damage Restoration
Sonoma sits squarely in the Wine Country wildland-urban interface, and the 2017 Nuns Fire burned through the hills directly above town, coming within blocks of the historic Plaza. That changed the way everyone here thinks about smoke. Even a home with zero structural fire damage can have HVAC ductwork, wall cavities, and wine cellars saturated with fine ash particulate after a fire event, and fall Diablo wind events funneling between Sonoma Mountain and the Mayacamas range push that smoke through the valley corridor every year. Local restoration here isn’t just extracting water; it’s knowing how Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration - Sonoma experts handle smoke, soot, and odor that settle into historic adobes, pre-1900 Victorians, and hillside estate homes differently than they do in newer construction.
The housing stock itself demands specialization. Older adobe and unreinforced masonry buildings absorb smoke and moisture into thick earthen walls, which dry completely differently than a mid-century ranch with wood framing and sheetrock. You cannot just point a fan at an adobe wall and call it done. Wade’s crew uses moisture mapping and material-specific drying protocols, because the job isn’t finished when the visible surface looks dry. A Mediterranean climate with roughly 25 inches of winter rain and persistent morning fog through the Carneros lowlands means crawl spaces stay damp, and every water event carries a faster path to mold than most homeowners realize. That’s why we log moisture readings daily and hand you the full record at the end.
Pricing for Damage Restoration in Sonoma
Restoration pricing in Sonoma runs the gamut, but you should know the honest ranges before anyone steps through your door. Small water extractions typically land between $500 and $1,500 depending on affected square footage. Mold remediation on a contained bathroom or crawl space usually starts around $1,200 and climbs with the size of the colony and the materials involved. Fire and smoke jobs are the hardest to estimate sight unseen because odor abatement and cleaning scope depend on how far ash traveled, but most residential work in the 95476 area falls between $2,000 and $12,000. Sewage cleanup generally starts near $2,000 due to containment and disposal requirements. Wade offers no trip charge inside Sonoma County, a free second opinion on any written estimate, $40 off any repair over $200, and a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans. Call (855) 915-0646 for an honest scope and number before you commit to anything.

FAQs About Damage Restoration in Sonoma
For water, sewage, or our Storm & Disaster Restoration in Sonoma emergencies, Wade heads out immediately and typically arrives within an hour anywhere in the 95476 zip code. Calls are answered by a live person 24/7, not a voicemail system, so you’ll know exactly who’s coming and when. Call (855) 915-0646 and Wade will tell you his ETA straight.
Most homeowner policies in California cover sudden and accidental water damage and wildfire smoke or fire damage, but coverage depends on your specific policy and cause. Wade deals with the insurance adjuster directly, which means you don’t have to be the middleman relaying technical information back and forth. He’ll provide photo documentation and moisture logs your adjuster can actually use.
If water sat for more than a few hours or reached porous materials, hidden moisture behind walls and under flooring can drive mold growth you won’t see for weeks. In Sonoma’s fog-prone climate, that window is shorter than most people expect. We recommend at minimum a professional moisture assessment using commercial meters, and Wade offers a free second opinion on any written estimate so you’re never paying just to find out what’s wrong.
Wade Ferris, the owner, heads out personally on most calls and answers his own phone. The crew he brings is background-checked, uniformed, and works with professional-grade equipment from names like Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, and B-Air. You’ll know who’s in your home and who to call if anything isn’t right afterward.
Every water, fire, and mold restoration job is covered in writing by the 90-Day Done Right Promise. If the work isn’t done right, Wade makes it right at no additional charge. One call brings him back, and he’ll stand behind what his crew did.
If water, fire, mold, or a backed-up sewer line has turned your Sonoma home upside down, call (855) 915-0646 now. You’ll reach a live person, Wade will head out, and you’ll get a straight answer and a written scope before any work begins.

What Sonoma Customers Say
"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"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"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
