Fast, Reliable Reconstruction & Cleanup Across Pomona
Reconstruction and cleanup in Pomona sits at the intersection of water, mold, and building code, and the older the house, the more complicated that intersection gets. We’re Wade’s Restoration of California, and our Reconstruction & Cleanup team works on Pomona homes every week. If you’ve got water damage that has spread into your walls or floors, call (855) 915-0646. We’ll tell you straight what you’re looking at: whether it’s a drywall patch or a full wall assembly rebuild, whether the original millwork can be saved or whether building code requires replacement, and what it will cost before anyone swings a hammer.
Why Wade’s Restoration of California Is Pomona’s Preferred Reconstruction & Cleanup Company
Wade Ferris founded this company in 2007, and he still answers his own phone. That matters in Pomona, where homeowners along Holt Avenue, in the Lincoln Park historic district, and throughout the numbered streets of 91766 have dealt with national outfits that send a different crew every day and bill by the line item. Wade’s crew shows up in uniform, background-checked, and accountable to someone whose name you know. Ask anyone on your street. We’ve rebuilt enough Pomona kitchens, bedrooms, and rental units to know which houses were built before the city required permits for everything, and which ones quietly weren’t permitted at all.
Our reconstruction work in Pomona is covered by the 90-Day Done Right Promise, stamped in writing on every water, fire, and mold restoration contract. If it’s not done right, Wade makes it right. That’s not a slogan. It’s how we keep customers in Pomona, San Dimas, and La Verne for decades instead of one job. We also carry IICRC credentials, which means the drying and structural repair protocols we follow are the ones the insurance industry recognizes, not shortcuts someone learned from a YouTube video.
Our Reconstruction & Cleanup Services in Pomona
Full-Service Reconstruction
When water, fire, or mold has compromised framing, subfloor, or load-bearing walls, this is the work that puts your Pomona house back together. We do full wall assembly rebuilds, kitchen and bath reconstruction, and structural repairs that meet current City of Pomona Building & Safety requirements. In Pomona’s 91766 and 91767 ZIPs, that frequently means discovering what’s behind the drywall before we can rebuild. We scope it, price it in writing, and agree on the scope before work starts.
Drywall & Flooring Repair
We replace water-damaged drywall, repair delaminated subflooring, and match flooring materials to the age and character of your home. In Pomona’s older stock, that often means working around asbestos-containing floor adhesives, which we contain and remove under proper protocol before new flooring goes down. We also deal with the moisture-absorbent wood subfloors common in 1940s through 1960s tract homes across 91766, where a slow leak rots the structural layer beneath the finish floor long before anyone sees a stain.
Contents Restoration & Pack-Out
If your Pomona home needs reconstruction after a water or fire loss, your furniture, clothing, and belongings need somewhere safe to go while we work. We do full contents pack-out, inventory, cleaning, and storage, then bring everything back when the structure is dry and rebuilt. Our contents team used Dri-Eaz equipment to dry and restore a full living room set after a ceiling collapse in a 1950s ranch near Ganesha Park. The homeowner kept the inventory log and the moisture readings. That’s the point.
Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning
After a water intrusion or smoke event in Pomona, carpet and upholstery often carry the smell and the contamination. We clean and restore what’s salvageable and tell you honestly when it’s not worth saving. In a city with a high share of rental properties, especially in 91768 and the blocks near downtown, we also see carpets that have absorbed months of unreported moisture. We’ll tell you whether cleaning is enough or whether the pad underneath needs to come out.

Trusted Brands We Service in Pomona
Our equipment trailer carries professional-grade drying and restoration gear from Dri-Eaz, XPOWER, and Phoenix, not rental-store fans. For Pomona homeowners, that means we can start structural drying the same day we arrive, with real moisture meters and daily readings you can see. The industry credentials behind the work come from IICRC training, and our technicians follow protocols recognized by the RIA. We stock common materials for pre-1970s Pomona houses: cement board, plaster-compatible patching compound, galvanized-to-PEX transition fittings, and flooring underlayment rated for older subfloors. Fast turnaround matters when a wall is open and your family is living in half the house.
Common Reconstruction & Cleanup Problems We See in Pomona Homes
- Corroded galvanized supply lines. Pomona Valley groundwater is hard, and it eats galvanized steel from the inside. A pinhole leak inside a 1960s wall cavity can run for months before it presents as a stain, by which point the framing is saturated and the insulation is shot.
- Asbestos-containing floor adhesives. Many Pomona homes built before the late 1970s have black cutback adhesive under the original vinyl or linoleum. If water reaches it and the flooring must come out, the adhesive has to be handled as asbestos-containing material, which changes the scope and the cost.
- Unpermitted added drywall. Working-class tract homes in Pomona, especially rentals, often have second layers of drywall added by previous owners without permits. That layer hides mold growth and complicates any reconstruction permit we pull with the City of Pomona.
- Plaster-and-lath wall assemblies in historic homes. In the Lincoln Park historic district and Craftsman-era blocks, walls aren’t drywall. Standard drying protocols that work on a modern Diamond Bar house will crack and delaminate original plaster. We adjust our drying plan for the material, not the other way around.
Pricing for Reconstruction & Cleanup in Pomona, CA
Reconstruction pricing in Pomona tracks the age of the house and the scope of what’s behind the wall. A straightforward drywall patch after a small ceiling leak typically runs $400-$900. Removing and replacing a water-damaged wall section in a 1960s tract home, including baseboards and paint, runs $1,800-$3,200 per wall. Full kitchen or bath rebuilds after a Category 3 loss in Pomona’s older stock generally start around $9,000 and run to $28,000 depending on cabinetry, countertops, and whether code upgrades are triggered. Asbestos floor adhesive abatement adds $2,200-$5,500 to a flooring job. Every estimate is free, written, and agreed to before work starts. Call (855) 915-0646.

FAQs - Reconstruction & Cleanup in Pomona
Because the original 1940s-1960s homes in 91766 frequently have asbestos-containing floor adhesive under layers of vinyl, linoleum, or older tile, and Pomona Valley’s hard groundwater corrodes the galvanized supply lines that leak onto those floors. When water saturates the floor assembly and the finish material must come out, the adhesive beneath it is treated as asbestos-containing, which requires containment and abatement before reconstruction can proceed. Call (855) 915-0646 and we’ll inspect the subfloor before we touch anything.
Yes, and we have done it. We work with local millwork suppliers who stock or reproduce the trim profiles common to Pomona’s 1890s-1920s Craftsman and Victorian homes. Where original baseboards, casings, or window trim have been water-damaged beyond salvage, we match the species, profile, and finish schedule rather than replacing them with big-box primed pine. In the Lincoln Park historic district, preserving original character is part of the reconstruction scope, not an afterthought.
When our crew removes unpermitted added drywall during reconstruction, any newly exposed framing, electrical, or plumbing work must meet current City of Pomona Building & Safety code before we close the wall. That means we photograph what’s exposed, coordinate any required inspections, and document everything for your insurance claim. We handle the permit path for you. It’s part of the job, not an upcharge.
Plaster-and-lath walls dry differently than drywall. They hold more moisture in the wood lath and the keys between the lath strips, and if you force-dry them too fast, the plaster cracks and delaminates from the lath, which turns a water loss into a full wall rebuild. We use lower-velocity Dri-Eaz drying with daily moisture readings and adjust airflow until the plaster reaches target moisture content without cracking. A modern Diamond Bar drywall wall is a completely different material with a different drying curve. Call (855) 915-0646 and we’ll walk you through the plan for your wall type.
Yes. We handle the entire scope on Pomona rental properties: the Category 3 mold remediation, the structural reconstruction, the contents pack-out if needed, and the code-compliance documentation that the City of Pomona Building & Safety division requires after we strip unpermitted or non-compliant work. The landlord gets one contractor and one written scope. The tenant gets a safe, code-compliant unit back. Call (855) 915-0646 for an assessment.
