Every street in this city has homes built on Chino Basin clay, and every one of those homes eventually tells the same story. We know because we’ve been cutting out failed slab lines, drying saturated subfloors, and rebuilding kitchens, bathrooms, and hallways all across the 91763. When you call, you’re not getting routed to a call center. You’re getting Wade Ferris, the owner, who will tell you what he’d do if it were his house.

Why Wade’s Restoration of California Is Montclair’s Preferred Reconstruction & Cleanup Company

Ask anyone on your street. Ask the retired couple over on Ramona Avenue whose 1963 kitchen we rebuilt last spring. Ask the family near Montclair High School whose back hallway flooded from a cracked under-slab drain line two winters ago. Wade’s Restoration has been doing Reconstruction & Cleanup work in Montclair long enough that the name carries weight at the permit counter and the hardware store alike.

We show up in uniform, background-checked, and with equipment that actually dries a Chino Basin slab: Dri-Eaz LGR dehumidifiers, Injectidry mat systems, and moisture meters that get used every single day on every single job. Wade hands you the full moisture log at the end. Almost nobody in this trade does that. It’s your house, your drywall, your subfloor. You should know what happened under it.

Response time to Montclair? If it’s an active leak or a saturated slab, Wade heads out immediately. He answers his own phone. No voicemail, no queue. And the 90-Day Done Right Promise covers every water, fire, and mold reconstruction job in writing. If it’s not done right, he makes it right. That’s not marketing language; it’s stamped on the contract.

We’re locally owned and owner-operated. Wade Ferris publishes his name, his address, and his license number. He’s going to run into you at the Vons on Central or the donut shop on Holt. That’s the oldest accountability mechanism there is, and it’s why Montclair homeowners keep calling us back.

Our Reconstruction & Cleanup Services in Montclair

Full-Service Reconstruction

When a below-slab pipe fails in a 1950s or 1960s Montclair tract home, the damage rarely stops at one room. Moisture wicks up wall plates, saturates subfloor sheathing, and travels under base plates into adjoining spaces. Our full-service reconstruction handles the whole sequence: demolition, structural drying, plumbing repair coordination, framing, drywall, trim, paint, and finish work. We pull permits when Montclair requires them, and we manage the entire scope in writing before the first hammer swings.

Typical full-service reconstruction after a slab leak in Montclair runs $6,000-$18,500 depending on how far the moisture traveled and whether cabinets, tile, or custom finishes are involved.

Drywall & Flooring Repair

Montclair homes from the mid-century era often have original drywall and flooring that homeowners want to save. We get it. That 1960s oak strip flooring is not something you find at the big box store anymore. Our drywall and flooring crews evaluate moisture content before tearing anything out. If the material can be dried, saved, and stabilized, we’ll tell you. If it can’t, we’ll explain why and show you the readings.

Drywall repair alone in Montclair typically runs $1,200-$3,400 for a standard room after water or smoke damage. Flooring repair or replacement adds $2,800-$7,500 depending on material and square footage.

Contents Restoration & Pack-Out

When reconstruction happens, your furniture and belongings need somewhere safe to go. We handle pack-outs to a climate-controlled secure facility, with a documented inventory sheet and photos of every item. This matters in Montclair because ash and soot from Santa Ana wind events can settle into upholstery, clothing, and papers, and a proper contents restoration pass is the difference between a house that smells clean and one that carries a faint smoke odor for years. Contents restoration and pack-out in Montclair generally runs $1,800-$6,000 depending on volume.

Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning

Not every job requires tear-out. Sometimes a Montclair homeowner needs carpet and upholstery cleaned after a minor overflow, a dusty Santa Ana season, or a smoker’s estate. We run professional-grade extraction equipment and hot-water cleaning that gets embedded grit and odor out. Carpet and upholstery cleaning in Montclair runs $180-$650 for typical rooms and furniture sets.

This page’s real focus is the three services above, but Wade’s crew handles the full Reconstruction & Cleanup in Montclair scope from pack-out to final paint.

Trusted Brands We Service in Montclair

We work on every major brand of flooring, drywall system, cabinet, and finish you’ll find in Montclair’s mid-century and newer homes. Our drying equipment comes from Dri-Eaz, the standard for structural drying in the restoration industry, and Wade’s team holds IICRC certifications that back the work. For Montclair customers with older homes, we keep common mid-century trim profiles and board dimensions sourced from local suppliers, so replacement material matches what’s already there instead of looking like a patch job. Fast turnaround matters when your living room is torn apart, and we keep the parts and materials moving so you’re not waiting on backordered trim.

Common Reconstruction & Cleanup Problems We See in Montclair Homes

• Slab leaks from aging galvanized supply lines. Homes built between the mid-1950s and mid-1970s in Montclair often still have original galvanized pipes running under the slab. Chino Basin’s hard groundwater corrodes them from the inside out, and by the time water shows on finished flooring, the subfloor has been soaking for weeks or months.
• Efflorescence along the slab perimeter. That white chalky mineral staining on the outside edge of your foundation is not cosmetic. In Montclair it signals that hard groundwater has been wicking through hairline slab cracks caused by expansive clay movement. Where there’s efflorescence, there’s moisture inside the wall assembly.
• Santa Ana smoke and soot infiltration. Fall and winter wind advisories push embers and smoke through Cajon and Pomona passes into Montclair’s inland valley. Post-war closet spaces, knee walls, and attic framing trap that soot. A fresh coat of paint over uncleaned surfaces seals odor in, it doesn’t remove it.
• Cracked slabs from seasonal clay expansion. The Chino Basin’s expansive clay swells when winter rains arrive and shrinks during dry summers. That annual cycle flexes foundations, cracks slab edges, fractures under-slab drain lines, and opens new pathways for moisture. It’s the single most common root cause of reconstruction work we see in the 91763.
