Why Citrus Heights Homeowners Choose Wade’s Restoration of California
Most of the homeowners who call us have already been burned once by a national outfit that quoted one price on the phone and another at the door. That’s the exact reason Wade Ferris started this company in 2007 and put his own name on the truck. His address is published. His license number is published. And he’s going to run into you again at the hardware store on Greenback Lane, which is the oldest accountability mechanism there is.
When we say we serve Citrus Heights, we mean the whole city. We’ve dried out slab-on-grade ranches near Sylvan Corners, pulled damaged drywall from split-levels off San Juan Avenue, and handled smoke cleanup in homes along Antelope Road after wildfire season. Our reviews from Citrus Heights homeowners keep saying the same thing: the owner showed up, the moisture log was real, and the adjuster never once had to call the homeowner to sort things out.
Every water, fire, and mold restoration job we do in Citrus Heights carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not done right, Wade makes it right. One call brings him back.
Damage Restoration Services We Offer in Citrus Heights
Water Damage Restoration
A supply line bursts behind the washer in a 1960s ranch on the north side of 95610, and within an hour water is running under the baseboards and into the wall cavities. We extract first, then dry with Dri-Eaz and Phoenix equipment, taking moisture readings every single day and handing you the log when we’re done.

Mold Remediation
Mold in Citrus Heights homes often sits behind walls for months before anyone notices, especially after a wet winter drives moisture into original construction materials. We test, contain, remove, and dry the affected area, then verify with clearance readings before we call the job finished.

Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration
Wildfire smoke settles into ductwork and carpet in homes throughout Citrus Heights even when the fire never touched the street. We handle soot removal, odor neutralization, and structural cleaning, and we coordinate directly with your adjuster on every claim.

Storm & Disaster Restoration
Atmospheric river storms can drop several inches of rain on Citrus Heights in 48 hours, overwhelming drains and pushing water into homes that had been bone dry all summer. We board up, tarp, extract, and start drying immediately.
Sewage Cleanup
A backed-up line in an older Citrus Heights home means contaminated water in places your family walks and touches. We remove, sanitize, and dry with professional-grade equipment from XPOWER and B-Air, and we document everything for your insurance carrier.
Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup
When something traumatic happens, the last thing a Citrus Heights family needs is to handle the cleanup themselves. We respond with discretion and respect, restoring the space to safe, livable condition and working with law enforcement and insurance throughout.
Reconstruction & Cleanup
Once the water, fire, or mold is remediated, the rebuild begins. We scope the work in writing before anything starts, schedule it like a remodel, and manage every trade so you’re never juggling three different contractors.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Citrus Heights
Restoration work in Citrus Heights means knowing which streets sit on slab foundations versus raised floors, which neighborhoods were built before 1978, and which drainage patterns flood first when the atmospheric rivers hit. We work across the full city, from the Sunrise corridor to the older blocks west of Auburn Boulevard. Typical response time for emergency water or fire damage anywhere in Citrus Heights is under an hour once you’ve reached us.

Why Citrus Heights’s Climate & Housing Affect Damage Restoration
Citrus Heights was built out almost entirely in the 1960s and 1970s as an unincorporated Sacramento County suburb, which left a dense concentration of same-era tract homes. Walk into one of these ranches after a water event, and you’re likely dealing with asbestos-containing floor tiles and textured popcorn ceilings, aluminum branch wiring, and galvanized supply lines, all on the same job. That layered hazard profile changes how restoration has to work here. Before we can open walls or pull up flooring, hazardous-material testing has to happen, and abatement often has to be scheduled before drying or rebuild can proceed. A crew that doesn’t know this is going to get a Citrus Heights homeowner in trouble with the county.
Then there’s the climate. The Sacramento Valley gives us dry, hot summers that contract framing and dry out soil, followed by compressed, intense wet seasons. When an atmospheric river dumps several inches of rain on Citrus Heights in 24 to 48 hours, the ground can’t absorb it, drains back up, and water finds every crack in a slab foundation. And when wildfire smoke settles over the city for weeks in late summer, even homes with no direct fire exposure end up with soot in the HVAC and smoke odor in the walls. We field calls for odor neutralization and duct cleaning every single fire season.
How Much Does Damage Restoration Cost in Citrus Heights?
The honest answer is that it depends on the scope, but here are realistic ranges we see in Citrus Heights homes:
- Water extraction and drying: $1,800 to $4,200 for a typical single-room event in a 1960s ranch
- Sewage cleanup and sanitization: $2,500 to $7,000 depending on affected square footage and contamination level
- Mold remediation: $2,200 to $6,500 for contained removal in a bathroom or wall cavity
- Smoke and soot cleanup after a kitchen fire: $3,000 to $9,000 including structural cleaning and odor treatment
- Asbestos abatement coordination: $1,500 to $4,000 added when original flooring or popcorn ceilings are involved and testing comes back positive
No-hassle upfront pricing means we hand you a written scope before work starts, and that is the price. We also offer a Free Second Opinion on Any Written Estimate and No Trip Charge Inside Our Own County. If you already have an estimate from another company sitting on your counter, call (855) 915-0646 and Wade will look it over. No charge for that.

FAQs About Damage Restoration in Citrus Heights
In most Citrus Heights homes, water damage from a sudden event like a burst pipe or storm intrusion is a covered peril under standard homeowners policies, though gradual leaks often have partial or no coverage depending on your carrier. Wade deals with the insurance adjuster directly, so you are never stuck relaying information between two sides, and the photo documentation and daily moisture logs we provide are exactly what adjusters want to see. Call (855) 915-0646 and we’ll start the paperwork the same day.
If you call before noon, we typically have extraction running within the hour anywhere in the 95610, 95611, or 95621 ZIP codes. Wade answers his own phone, and if he’s not already on the road heading to you, he will be shortly.
If the water sat for more than 24 to 48 hours in a Citrus Heights home, especially one built in the 1960s or 1970s with original drywall and insulation, you almost always need more than a surface cleaning to prevent mold activation in the wall cavities. We’ll give you a straight answer and a written scope, not a scare tactic.
In Citrus Heights tract homes from the 1955 to 1980 era, the bottom layer of flooring is often original 1960s-era asphalt tile, and the ceilings are frequently popcorn from the same period. When testing comes back positive, we stop work in that area, coordinate certified abatement, and only then resume drying or rebuild. This is standard practice here, and anyone who skips it is putting your family and their own crew at risk.
Wade does. He talks directly with the adjuster, sends the photos and moisture logs they request, and advocates for the full scope of work your Citrus Heights home actually needs. You never become the middleman.
If you’ve got water in the house, smoke in the walls, or mold you can smell but not see, call (855) 915-0646. Wade will answer. He’ll tell you straight what you’re dealing with and what it’ll take to fix it. And if you’re a senior or veteran, there’s a standing 10% discount, every job, no expiration date.

What Citrus Heights Customers Say
"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"Supply line let go under the sink while we were away for the weekend and we came home to two inches through the whole ground floor. Wade had extraction running within the hour of my call and he was the one who answered it."
