Fast, Reliable Reconstruction & Cleanup Across Ontario
When water finds its way into an Ontario home or warehouse, the damage doesn’t wait. Neither do we. Wade’s Restoration of California handles full-service Reconstruction & Cleanup across Ontario, from the Model Colony neighborhoods in 91762 and 91764 to the logistics corridor east of the 15. Wade Ferris answers his own phone, and he can have a crew on-site inside the hour for water extraction. Call (855) 915-0646 and you’ll get a live person, not a menu tree.
The reality in Ontario is that reconstruction here doesn’t look like it does in neighboring cities. You’ve got 1920s bungalows with original plaster and galvanized pipe on the west side, and a few miles east you’ve got 500,000-square-foot tilt-up warehouses with aging single-ply roofs. The same storm that soaks a living room in one part of town floods a pharmaceutical distribution floor in another. We work both ends of that spectrum, and we’ve been doing it long enough that nothing surprises us anymore.
Why Wade’s Restoration of California Is Ontario’s Preferred Reconstruction & Cleanup Company
Wade Ferris founded this company in 2007, and he still runs it like a neighbor, not a franchise. His name is on the truck, his number is published, and he’s the one who shows up when you call at 2 a.m. because a supply line let go in a 1940s Model Colony home. That’s not a marketing line. That’s how the business works.
The difference shows up in the details. Wade takes moisture readings every single day on a drying job and hands you the full log when we’re done. Most outfits won’t do that because it leaves a paper trail. Wade wants you to see it. He also deals with your insurance adjuster directly, so you’re not the one stuck playing telephone between two parties who never seem to talk to each other. For Ontario homeowners and commercial property managers, that alone saves hours of frustration.
Every water, fire, and mold restoration job we do carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not done right, Wade makes it right. One call brings him back. That’s the warranty, plain as it gets.
We’re IICRC-certified, RIA-affiliated, and IFA-recognized. Wade’s crew runs professional-grade equipment from Dri-Eaz and Phoenix, and everyone who walks through your door is background-checked and in uniform. You’ll recognize them when they come back, because it’s the same people every time.
Our Reconstruction & Cleanup Services in Ontario
Full-Service Reconstruction
When a kitchen fire or a slab leak tears through an Ontario home, you don’t need three contractors and a prayer. You need one crew that handles framing, drywall, paint, trim, and flooring start to finish. We rebuild after water damage, fire damage, storm damage, and sewage backups, and we coordinate the whole scope so you’re not managing trades. In older Ontario homes, that means knowing how to match plaster walls to drywall replacement without leaving a seam that telegraphs through paint. It’s the kind of thing you learn from years working this city’s housing stock, not from a training video.
Drywall & Flooring Repair
Water doesn’t stop where drywall starts. In a 1920s Ontario bungalow, a galvanized supply line weeps behind plaster for weeks before anyone notices the stain. By the time we open the wall, the studs are soaked and the hardwood’s cupping. We cut out the damaged drywall, dry the cavity properly with Phoenix LGR dehumidifiers, then hang, tape, texture, and paint to match. Flooring gets the same treatment: we pull damaged planks, dry the subfloor, and replace what can’t be saved. If your Ontario home has original oak flooring, we match species and stain, not just approximate it.
Contents Restoration & Pack-Out
When a fire or flood hits an Ontario home or warehouse, the structure is only half the loss. Your furniture, clothing, electronics, inventory, and paperwork all need processing too. We pack out contents, clean or restore what’s salvageable, document everything for your insurance claim, and store it until you’re ready. In Ontario’s warehouse district, this service regularly involves palletized goods and temperature-sensitive stock. We’ve handled contents restoration inside buildings where one bay holds more product than an entire residential block owns. The documentation we produce is detailed enough to stand up to a commercial adjuster’s review.
Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning
After reconstruction is done, the last thing you want is construction dust ground into your carpet and sofa. We run professional-grade cleaning on carpets and upholstery as a finish step on most rebuilds, and we also handle standalone cleaning for Ontario homeowners who just want the four years of life back in their carpet. If the carpet’s too far gone, we’ll tell you straight, and we’ll handle the replacement too. No upsell, just honesty.

Trusted Brands We Service in Ontario
We’re brand-agnostic when it comes to the equipment that’s already in your home, but the gear we bring runs on Dri-Eaz and Phoenix, which are the two names commercial restoration pros in Ontario’s logistics corridor respect most. For warehouse drying after a roof membrane failure, we’ll run desiccant units alongside LGR dehumidifiers to pull water out of the air and the inventory simultaneously. The same equipment works on a 12-by-12 bedroom or an 80,000-square-foot electronics floor. That flexibility matters in Ontario, where a single call might take us from a 1930s foursquare on Euclid to a tilt-up off E. Jurupa Street.
Common Reconstruction & Cleanup Problems We See in Ontario Homes
- Weeping galvanized supply lines in Model Colony homes. In ZIPs 91762 and 91764, original 1920s-through-1950s plumbing corrodes from the inside out in Ontario’s hard Chino Basin water. The leak starts behind a plaster wall and runs for weeks before you see it. Skipping moisture mapping during demo means sealing in hidden corrosion, and mold comes back in six months.
- Santa Ana wind damage to older western-Ontario roofs. Gusts accelerating off the San Gabriel foothills strip roofing and drive embers into attic spaces. Crews that only clean the living areas leave smoke odor trapped in cellulose insulation and original wood framing. That smell returns the first humid day, and so does the complaint.
- Undersized roof drains on 1990s tilt-up warehouses. When Cucamonga Creek debris loads storm runoff, flat-roof drains choke and water ponds until it finds a seam. Interior flooding follows, and the damage runs to inventory, drywall, and electrical. Roof patching alone doesn’t fix that. The building needs commercial-scale drying and rebuild.
- Plaster-and-lath walls that hide structural water damage. Ontario’s older homes hold water behind plaster in ways drywall never does. By the time a ceiling sags, the joists above it have been wet for a month. We open carefully, dry thoroughly, and rebuild with materials that make sense for the house’s age and construction.

FAQs - Reconstruction & Cleanup in Ontario
We start with moisture mapping across every affected wall and floor cavity before any demolition happens. Galvanized supply lines in 1920s-to-1950s Ontario homes corrode from the inside out, and the leak often travels farther than the visible stain suggests. We cut only what’s actually wet, dry the cavity with Phoenix or Dri-Eaz LGR units, then rebuild with drywall matched to the surrounding plaster. If the pipe itself needs replacement, we coordinate that scope so you’re not left with a patched wall over a pipe that’s about to fail again. Call (855) 915-0646 to have Wade look at it in person.
Scale and inventory. A residential crew sees wet drywall and pulls it. A commercial job in Ontario’s warehouse corridor means protecting palletized electronics, pharmaceuticals, or food product while you dry the structure. We run desiccant and LGR dehumidifiers in zones, monitor psychrometrics daily, and document every reading for the adjuster. Wade’s crew handled an 80,000-square-foot electronics storage floor after a single-ply TPO seam opened in a winter storm, and the drying log alone ran over a hundred pages. That’s the difference between commercial and residential restoration.
Yes. Santa Ana winds drive embers into attic spaces, and that smoke gets trapped in cellulose insulation and original wood framing. If you only clean the living areas, the odor lives in the attic and resurfaces with the next temperature swing. We treat attics in older western-Ontario homes as a separate zone: remove smoke-damaged insulation, clean the framing, seal if needed, and re-insulate. It adds cost but prevents the callback that a cheaper crew guarantees. Call (855) 915-0646 and we’ll scope it honestly.
We treat it as two jobs: immediate drying and long-term drain correction. Storm debris from Cucamonga Creek and San Antonio Creek clogs undersized roof drains on 1990s flat-roof warehouses, so water ponds until it finds a seam. First priority is extraction, dehumidification, and inventory protection. Second is rebuilding the interior damage and documenting what the drains need so the building owner can prevent the next event. We’ll coordinate with your roofing contractor and put both scopes in writing before work starts.
You need a daily moisture log, photo documentation of every affected area, an itemized contents inventory with condition notes, and a written scope of work with costs attached. Wade’s Restoration produces all of that as standard practice. Wade also talks to your adjuster directly, which means the documentation we create is built to answer the questions adjusters actually ask. For large Ontario warehouse losses, that documentation is what separates a paid claim from a disputed one.
