Why Selma Homeowners Choose Wade’s Restoration of California
Wade Ferris has owned and operated this company since 2007, and his name is on the truck. That’s the whole deal. When we work on a home in the Rose Park neighborhood or out toward the Selma High School area, Wade is going to run into you again at Save Mart or the Raisin Festival. That’s the oldest accountability mechanism there is, and it’s why homeowners in their 50s, 60s, and 70s call us after a national chain quoted one number on the phone and another at the door.
Wade’s crew is IICRC-certified and RIA-affiliated, background-checked, and uniformed. They run Dri-Eaz and Phoenix drying equipment, not rental-store fans. And before work starts, you get a written scope. Not a handshake, not a vague promise. A line-item scope you can hold us to. Every water, fire, and mold job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if it’s not done right, Wade makes it right.
Damage Restoration Services We Offer in Selma
Water Damage Restoration
A burst galvanized pipe in a 1960s Selma crawl space or a failed supply line in a slab home on the 93662 side of town both need fast extraction and a real drying plan. Wade’s crew takes moisture readings every single day and hands you the full log at the end of the job. Water Damage Restoration in Selma
Mold Remediation
Selma’s Tule fog season pushes humidity into unventilated crawl spaces for weeks at a time, and once mold takes hold in subfloor framing it doesn’t leave on its own. We contain, remove, and document the source so it doesn’t return with the next fog cycle. Mold Remediation in Selma
Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration
After a kitchen fire or electrical event, smoke works its way into every wall cavity and duct run in a Selma home. We clean what’s salvageable, remove what isn’t, and work directly with your adjuster so you’re not the one relaying estimates back and forth. Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Selma
Storm & Disaster Restoration
Atmospheric river events combined with Selma’s agricultural irrigation canals can leave water pooled against foundations for days, not hours. When that happens, we get extraction running fast and dry the structure before the clay soil wicks more moisture into the framing.
Sewage Cleanup
A backed-up sewer line in an older Selma home is a biohazard, not a mop job. Our crew removes the contaminated material, sanitizes the space, and verifies the dry-out with equipment readings, not guesses.
Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup
When the unthinkable happens, you should not be the one cleaning it. Wade and his team handle biohazard situations with discretion, proper PPE, and full compliance with disposal regulations.
Reconstruction & Cleanup
After the dry-out and remediation comes the rebuild. We scope, price, and schedule reconstruction in writing, the way a remodel gets done. This isn’t dispatch work.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Selma
We work all over Selma, including the 93662 ZIP and surrounding unincorporated pockets. Typical response time for water and sewage calls in Selma is under an hour once Wade gets your call.

Why Selma’s Climate & Housing Affect Damage Restoration
Selma sits at the center of the San Joaquin Valley’s raisin-grape belt, surrounded by flood-irrigated vineyards and Fresno Irrigation District canals on flat, clay-heavy soil with virtually no natural drainage gradient. When an atmospheric river hits, that agricultural irrigation infrastructure compounds surface flooding and keeps water pooled against foundations far longer than in neighboring foothill cities, making Selma Storm & Disaster Restoration critical for local homeowners. Water extraction and structural drying cycles run longer here because the ground itself won’t let go of the moisture.
Then there’s the fog. From roughly November through February, Selma gets blanketed in Tule fog for weeks at a stretch. That persistent ambient humidity creeps into crawl spaces, attics, and wall cavities of older homes, creating latent mold conditions even without an acute water-loss event and making our Mold Remediation in Selma essential. The summers don’t help either, with heat regularly above 105°F drying and cracking roofing, caulking, and exterior finishes until the next pipe failure or rain event finds the weak spot.
Pricing for Damage Restoration in Selma
Pricing depends on the size of the affected area, the category of water involved, and whether content cleaning or reconstruction is needed. Most Selma water extraction and dry-out jobs run $1,800 to $4,500. Mold remediation in a single crawl space typically falls between $2,500 and $7,000 depending on square footage and containment requirements. Fire and smoke restoration spans widely based on severity, with most homes landing between $5,000 and $25,000. Sewage cleanup often runs $3,000 to $8,500 once disposal and sanitization are factored in. Every job gets a written scope before work starts, so the number you agree to is the number you pay.

FAQs About Damage Restoration in Selma
Wade answers his own phone 24/7 and can usually have extraction running inside the hour for water and sewage calls in Selma. Call (855) 915-0646 and you’ll talk to a person, not a queue.
Most homeowner policies cover sudden water losses, fire, and storm damage, though mold remediation and sewage cleanup vary by policy. Wade deals with your adjuster directly and provides photo documentation plus daily moisture logs, so you don’t have to translate between two sides.
If water sat in a Selma crawl space during irrigation season or fog lingered in your walls for weeks, you may have hidden mold that a surface cleaning won’t touch. The only way to know is with moisture readings and a proper inspection, which we do before recommending any scope of work.
Raised-foundation homes from the 1940s through 1970s are common here, and flood irrigation in nearby vineyards drives moisture laterally through clay soil into those crawl spaces every summer. By the time a homeowner calls, subfloor framing has often been colonizing mold for an entire growing season.
Wade does. You shouldn’t be the one stuck relaying estimates and scope questions between a restoration company and an insurance desk. Wade communicates with your adjuster directly, shares the moisture log and photo documentation, and keeps you informed without making you the middleman.
If you’ve got water where it shouldn’t be, Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Selma needs, or mold you can smell but not see, call Wade at (855) 915-0646. He’ll tell you straight what you’re dealing with and what it’ll cost. Free estimate, no trip charge in the county, and a written scope before any work begins.

What Selma Customers Say
"He gave me the daily moisture log at the end, on paper, with the readings from every point. I have never had a trade prove the job was actually finished before."
- Rowena Thackeray"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."
