Why Wade’s Restoration of California Is Woodland Hills’s Preferred Storm & Disaster Restoration Company

Wade Ferris founded this company in 2007, and he still runs it like a neighbor would: his name is on the truck, his address is published, and he’s going to run into you again on a Saturday. That’s the oldest accountability mechanism there is, and it matters when you’re letting someone into your home after a disaster. Our Storm & Disaster Restoration team handles everything from emergency board-up to full smoke-odor mitigation, and we do it with the kind of straight talk that’s hard to find in this trade.

Woodland Hills homeowners tell us the same story over and over: a national outfit quoted one price on the phone, then showed up and doubled it at the door. Wade doesn’t work that way. You get a written scope before any work begins, and every water, fire, and mold restoration job is covered by the 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, Wade makes it right, in writing. Not a vague assurance. A stamped promise.

We also do something almost nobody else in the trade does: Wade takes moisture readings every single day and hands you the full log when the job is done. You shouldn’t have to trust that your walls are dry. You should be able to see the numbers. And when it comes to insurance, Wade deals with the adjuster directly, so you’re never stuck relaying information between two sides. For Woodland Hills homeowners, that alone is worth the call.

Our Storm & Disaster Restoration Services in Woodland Hills

Storm Damage Cleanup

After a heavy storm in Woodland Hills, especially during those intense winter atmospheric-river events, we see everything from downed tree limbs to water pushing through cracked stucco and failed flashing. Our crew handles debris removal, structural drying, and full cleanup, and we document everything with photos for your insurance claim. The 91364 and 91367 ZIPs, with their dense 1950s-1970s tract homes, are especially vulnerable to wind-driven rain finding its way into eaves and attic spaces.

Flood Damage Restoration

When water gets inside a Woodland Hills home, speed is the whole game. Mold can begin colonizing in as little as 24 to 48 hours, and this part of the Valley consistently records the highest ambient temperatures in the LA metro, which accelerates that timeline. We get extraction running inside the hour when we’re on a Woodland Hills call, using Dri-Eaz dehumidifiers and professional-grade drying equipment. Then we log moisture readings every day until the structure is actually dry, not just surface-dry.

Emergency Board-Up

After a fire scare or a storm that blows out windows and doors, an unsecured home is an invitation for more damage. We board up openings quickly and securely, and we do it with the understanding that in Woodland Hills, this often happens in the middle of a wind event. Homes off Mulholland Drive, in particular, face exposure that valley-floor homes simply don’t. A board-up done right keeps the elements and the animals out, and it gives your insurance adjuster a clean starting point.

Roof Tarping

A tarp is not a repair, but it’s often the right first move after a storm. In Woodland Hills, where aging flat-roof additions from the 1950s-1970s are common, a compromised roof during a winter storm can turn into a structural problem within days. We tarp roofs to stop active water intrusion, then schedule the real repair once things are dry and stable. No pressure to do a full replacement before it’s needed. If a tarp is the right call, Wade will tell you that directly.

Smoke & Odor Mitigation

This is where Woodland Hills separates itself from any other city we serve. After a Santa Ana wind event, homes on streets like Oxnard Street or Ventura Boulevard routinely show heavy soot inside ductwork and on HVAC coils even when the structure was miles from the char line. Downslope katabatic winds channel combustion particulates directly into return-air intakes. We clean ducts, coils, and interior surfaces, and we use professional odor mitigation to get smoke smell out of homes that never saw a flame.

Wind Damage Repair

Santa Ana winds funnel through the Simi Valley and Santa Susana passes just north of Woodland Hills, and when they hit, they hit hard. We repair wind damage to siding, roofing, fencing, and more, and we do it with an eye toward what the next wind event might do. That means looking at weak points before they fail, not just patching what already broke. Hillside homes with wood decking and shake-adjacent rooflines need a different approach than a stucco tract home on the valley floor, and we know the difference.

Trusted Brands We Service in Woodland Hills

We work on all major equipment and material brands, and we stock parts for the kind of homes Woodland Hills actually has: 1950s-1970s tract homes, hillside customs, and everything in between. Wade’s crew uses professional-grade equipment from Injectidry, Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, XPOWER, and B-Air, and our restoration work is backed by IICRC, RIA, and IFA credentials. When a Woodland Hills homeowner calls about storm or fire damage, we’re ready with the right gear and the right parts, not a generic truck with whatever was on it.

Common Storm & Disaster Restoration Problems We See in Woodland Hills Homes

• Soot in HVAC systems after Santa Ana wind events. The valley-floor homes in 91364 and 91367, many built in the 1950s-1970s, still have original return ducts that pull air from eaves and outdoor spaces. When wind events push combustion particulates through the area, that soot settles in ductwork and on coils, leaving a smoke odor that lingers for weeks.
• Hidden ember intrusion on hillside homes. Homes off Mulholland Drive with wood decking and shake-adjacent rooflines face ember exposure during wind-driven fires. Post-fire assessments often miss charring under decks and in eaves, and that hidden damage becomes a real problem later.
• Slow leaks from aging flat-roof additions. Woodland Hills’s brutal summer heat and intense winter rain create repeated wet/dry cycling that cracks original 1950s-1970s flat roofs. By the time water shows up on a ceiling, structural decay has often already begun underneath.
• Accelerated mold after any water intrusion. Woodland Hills regularly hits the highest temperatures in the LA metro, often above 110°F during heat events. Combined with water from a storm or a plumbing failure, that heat speeds up mold colonization dramatically. You don’t have days to react. You have hours.
