Fast, Reliable Storm & Disaster Restoration Across Citrus Heights
Storm damage in Citrus Heights rarely announces itself politely. It shows up as a downed tree through a carport on Mariposa Avenue, a saturated slab off Sunrise Boulevard, or floodwater backing up through a floor drain near San Juan Avenue. Our Storm & Disaster Restoration team has worked enough atmospheric river events in the 95610, 95611, and 95621 ZIP codes to know exactly what Citrus Heights homes need when the weather turns. We’re local, we answer the phone around the clock, and we can have extraction equipment running inside the hour. Call (855) 915-0646 the moment you see water where it shouldn’t be.
Why Wade’s Restoration of California Is Citrus Heights’s Preferred Storm & Disaster Restoration Company
Wade Ferris put his name on this company in 2007, and he still answers his own phone. That matters in Citrus Heights, where a good chunk of the housing stock was built in the 1960s and 70s and needs a restoration crew that understands what’s behind those walls before they start cutting. Homeowners here tell us the same thing: a national chain quoted one price on the phone and another at the door. Wade doesn’t work that way. He gives you a written scope before work starts, and every storm restoration job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not done right, he makes it right.
Response time to Citrus Heights is quick because our crews stage from the Sacramento metro area and know the surface streets: Auburn Boulevard, Greenback Lane, Antelope Road, and the back ways that avoid I-80 when it’s jammed. When a storm hits and every driveway in the 95610 ZIP has water in it, we coordinate equipment drop-offs so we’re not blocking neighbors in tight alley-load areas. That’s a small thing, but in a dense 60s-era tract neighborhood, it’s the difference between a smooth job and an angry HOA meeting. Wade’s team is background-checked, uniformed, and IICRC-certified. We carry professional-grade drying gear from Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, and Injectidry, and we use it correctly.

Flood Damage Restoration
Flood damage restoration in Citrus Heights carries a wrinkle most other cities don’t have: the slab-on-grade foundations under those 1960s ranch homes don’t just get wet on top, they wick moisture into wall cavities we can’t see. Our approach treats every flood job here as a potential hidden-moisture problem. We take moisture readings every single day, map the data, and hand you the full log at the end of the job. Almost nobody else in the trade does that. It’s the only way to prove your walls are actually dry, not just “dry enough.” Contact us at (855) 915-0646.
Emergency Board-Up
When a storm knocks out a window on a Citrus Heights home, the clock starts immediately. Rain keeps coming, raccoons move in, and looters notice. We board up quickly and securely, using materials rated for real weather, not just a piece of plywood thrown over an opening. For homes along busy roads like Sunrise Boulevard or near the 95621 ZIP commercial strips, we add tamper-resistant fasteners. The goal is to make the house secure and dry while you deal with insurance and figure out what’s next.
Roof Tarping
Roof tarping in Citrus Heights has to work on a specific type of roof: low-pitch, often original to the 1960s or 70s, frequently with a post-and-beam carport addition that’s seen better decades. A standard tarp job will fail on those slopes because wind gets underneath and flips it like a sail. We anchor tarps at closer intervals and seal around the fascia to keep driving rain out. Our tarp work is temporary, but it has to hold for weeks while you wait for a permanent repair. We build it to last that long.

Trusted Brands We Service in Citrus Heights
We’re not brand-loyal to a fault; we’re results-loyal. But when we set up drying equipment in Citrus Heights homes, we rely on Dri-Eaz and Phoenix dehumidifiers and air movers because they hold up on long runs and give accurate readings. For hard-to-dry cavities common in slab-on-grade construction, Injectidry injection drying systems do the job when surface drying won’t reach. Our IICRC credentials and RIA and IFA affiliations mean the equipment gets used the way its designers intended, not the way a guy with a truck and a fan thinks it works.
Common Storm & Disaster Restoration Problems We See in Citrus Heights Homes
- Asbestos lurking under old floors. The tract homes along the Sunrise corridor and near Auburn Boulevard often have original 1960s asphalt floor tile beneath layers of vinyl. When storm water forces floor removal, that bottom layer tests positive for asbestos far more often than not. Skipping the test turns a simple extraction into a stop-work order and a regulated abatement project.
- Slab foundations that hide moisture. After months of dry Sacramento Valley heat, concrete contracts and forms micro-cracks. When an atmospheric river dumps several inches of rain in 48 hours, water seeps through those cracks and saturates the slab. Surface drying leaves hidden pockets that turn into mold activation in wall cavities weeks later.
- Aluminum branch wiring from the 1960s and 70s. When storm water gets into electrical boxes and aluminum wiring corrodes, connections heat up. That’s a fire risk, not just a repair item. Any storm restoration that touches wiring on an older Citrus Heights home needs a licensed electrician’s eyes on it, and we coordinate that before drying equipment ever gets plugged in.
- Tight alley-load access and HOA rules. Many Citrus Heights neighborhoods have narrow alleys and shared driveways. A crew that blocks a neighbor’s access while setting up equipment for an emergency board-up creates a second emergency. We plan staging before the truck arrives, and we’ve worked enough of these streets to know which ones can’t fit a box truck.

FAQs - Storm & Disaster Restoration in Citrus Heights
If your home was built before 1980 and the storm damage requires removing flooring, textured ceilings, or drywall, yes, you almost certainly need asbestos testing first. Wade’s team has seen original asphalt floor tile test positive so many times in 95610 and 95621 tract homes that we treat it as the default, not the exception. The test is quick, and if it comes back positive, we coordinate abatement before drying or rebuild work proceeds. Skipping it saves a day upfront and costs you weeks of stop-work delays and potential fines. Call (855) 915-0646 and we’ll walk you through the sequence.
Our goal is to have extraction equipment running inside the hour for Citrus Heights homes. During heavy atmospheric river weather, when every street near Greenback Lane and Auburn Boulevard has standing water, response times push depending on call volume. Wade answers his own phone and will tell you straight what the wait looks like. We prioritize active water intrusion over cleanup-only jobs every time.
Not automatically. Galvanized supply lines that haven’t been damaged by the storm don’t need replacement just because they’re old. But if flood water reached supply lines or if the home was built before 1986 and plumbing is exposed during restoration, we check for corrosion and scale buildup. If replacement is genuinely needed, we put it in writing with photos and explain why before any work starts. We never upsell plumbing a storm didn’t touch. Get a free estimate at (855) 915-0646.
Low-pitch carport additions need different tarping than a steep main roof. We anchor tarps at tighter intervals, seal edges against fascia and beams, and use strapping across the low slope so wind doesn’t get underneath and rip the tarp off. On post-and-beam carport additions from the 1960s and 70s, we check the beam connections first; water-damaged beams can shift under tarp tension. It’s slower than a generic tarp job, but it holds through the next storm instead of failing on day three.
Wildfire smoke from the Sierra foothills settles into Citrus Heights every late summer, even for homes miles from any fire. Smoke particles work into carpet, drapes, and HVAC filters, and the odor lingers long after the sky clears. We clean affected surfaces, run HEPA air scrubbers, and clean or seal HVAC ductwork depending on how deep the soot went. Many homes need it done before fall rains drive the particles into wet surfaces, where they become permanently embedded stains. Call (855) 915-0646 for a smoke assessment.
