Fast, Reliable Storm & Disaster Restoration Across Rancho Cordova
Storm damage in Rancho Cordova moves fast. When wind peels back a roof edge on a 1960s tract home off Coloma Road, or when rising water from the American River starts pushing through a levee seep near the Mather Field corridor, waiting until Monday is not an option. We answer the phone at (855) 915-0646 around the clock. Our Storm & Disaster Restoration crews live and work here, and we know exactly what the river, the dam, and the summer heat do to homes across the 95670, 95741, and 95742 ZIP codes. Storm water in Rancho Cordova often means two threats at once: wind-driven rain breaching the building envelope, followed by floodwater testing aging levees downstream of Folsom Dam. We handle both.

Wade Ferris founded this company in 2007 and put his name on the truck. His crews work Rancho Cordova daily, enough that we know the difference between a slab leak flooding a 1950s rancher near White Rock Road and wind-driven intrusion soaking a 2000s Anatolia home in 95742. That local knowledge changes how we restore.
Wade is IICRC-certified and RIA-affiliated, and he applies those standards to every storm job, not just the big water losses. The 90-Day Done Right Promise applies to every water, fire, and mold restoration job in writing. If something is not right, Wade makes it right. Ask anyone on your street. He is the guy who still answers his own phone.
When a storm hits Rancho Cordova, the damage does not wait for a voicemail. Our live answer policy means a real person picks up, day or night. For floodwater intrusion, Wade heads out the same hour. You are not getting a call center in another state. You are getting the owner, or the people he trained, on your street, fast.
Our Storm & Disaster Restoration Services in Rancho Cordova
Flood Damage Restoration
Floodwater in Rancho Cordova carries more than water. In the Mather Field corridor, central 95670, legacy groundwater contamination plumes from the former air force base mean flooded crawlspaces and slab-adjacent soils can hold regulated contaminants. We run pre-remediation testing before extraction there, because spreading that water into living spaces is worse than the original flood. Our crews use Dri-Eaz LGR dehumidifiers and Phoenix axial air movers to dry the structure, and we hand you the moisture log at the end, every reading, every day.
Roof Tarping
Rancho Cordova roofs take a beating. Six-plus months of 95 to 108 degree dry heat desiccates membrane, caulking, and wood framing, then the first atmospheric river of the season hits. We tarp torn-off sections fast, because the next storm is often days out, not weeks. A properly secured tarp over a wind-damaged section on a White Rock Road rancher can prevent a roof leak from becoming a ceiling collapse.
Emergency Board-Up
When a tree limb or wind-blown debris breaks a window on a 1970s home near Folsom Boulevard, the opening is an invitation to more damage, animals, and weather. We board up with weather-rated plywood and seal the opening properly. Short-term security, done right, so the next storm does not finish what the first one started.
Storm Damage Cleanup
After the wind and rain pass, the muck and debris remain. We remove storm-damaged drywall, saturated insulation, and flooring that cannot be saved. On 1950s and 1960s slab-on-grade homes, we check for stormwater that accelerated galvanized pipe corrosion, because the slab leak that follows a flood is often the second claim homeowners never saw coming.

Common Storm & Disaster Restoration Problems We See in Rancho Cordova Homes
- Hidden moisture behind finished walls on 2000s Anatolia homes. Spray-foam insulation and OSB sheathing trap water long after the surface looks dry, so stained drywall is often just the visible edge of a bigger problem. If a 2004-built home in 95742 took wind-driven rain, the stud bay is usually wetter than the drywall suggests.
- Slab leaks after storm events. On 1950s to 1970s slab-on-grade tract homes across Rancho Cordova, stormwater intrusion accelerates existing galvanized pipe corrosion. The area that floods this month can re-flood in six weeks, not from the river, but from a slab leak the first crew missed.
- Contaminated floodwater in the Mather Field corridor. Ground-level flood intrusion near central 95670 can carry legacy groundwater contaminants. Extraction and drying alone, without pre-testing, can push regulated chemicals into the living space. This is a real local issue, not a scare tactic.
- Builder-grade garage doors failing under wind-driven rain. North-facing two-car openings on Anatolia homes take the brunt of atmospheric river winds. The failed vinyl bottom seal allows water to pool behind the drywall knee wall, and the spray-foam behind it holds that moisture for weeks.

FAQs - Storm & Disaster Restoration in Rancho Cordova
River levels can spike within hours of a controlled Folsom Dam release during an atmospheric river event, because Rancho Cordova sits directly downstream in the American River floodplain. The Army Corps of Engineers rates the levees here as providing below-standard flood protection, which means seepage and overtopping can happen faster than in inland Sacramento neighborhoods. If you see water rising near a levee or in your crawlspace, call (855) 915-0646 immediately. Extraction needs to start before the water migrates into walls and under slab.
Yes, you do. The Mather Field corridor in central 95670 sits over documented legacy groundwater contamination plumes from former Mather Air Force Base operations. Flooded crawlspaces and slab-adjacent soils there can carry regulated contaminants. Pre-remediation testing is required to determine if the water is hazardous before extraction. We handle that testing and coordinate with your adjuster on the findings. Call (855) 915-0646 for guidance.
Because the construction traps moisture. Those 2000s production homes in 95742 use spray-foam insulation over OSB sheathing. That foam seals the cavity, which is great for energy efficiency, but when wind-driven rain breaches the envelope, the foam holds the water against the OSB for weeks. The drywall face may look dry and sound hollow, while the stud bay behind it is still soaked. Surface treatments will not fix that. We remove the affected drywall, dry the cavity properly with our Dri-Eaz and Phoenix equipment, and then rebuild. Call (855) 915-0646 to have it checked.
Check the bottom seal and the drywall knee wall just inside the door. On north-facing two-car openings in Anatolia and other 2000s developments, wind-driven rain pushes under a failed vinyl seal and pools behind that knee wall. If the drywall is discolored, soft, or smells musty near the floor, water likely wicked up into the wall cavity. Do not just mop the floor. We can pull the baseboard, inspect the cavity, and dry it properly. After a recent atmospheric river, we did exactly that on a 2004-built Anatolia home, replacing the failed seal with a commercial-grade bulb seal and upgrading the opener to a myQ-enabled LiftMaster with battery backup. The fix should address the water and the door. Call (855) 915-0646 to schedule a look.
Confirm the tarp is secured with furring strips screwed into the roof deck, not just weighted down. High winds common to Rancho Cordova’s atmospheric river events will lift a poorly secured tarp and rip it off, exposing the decking again. If you are unsure, call us and we will come inspect the tarp and re-secure it. A properly installed tarp buys you time to file a claim without more water getting in. For an inspection or to have a tarp installed, call (855) 915-0646.
