Why Agoura Hills Homeowners Choose Wade’s Restoration of California
Wade Ferris founded this company in 2007, and his name is on the truck. His address is published. His license number is public. When you hire us, you’re hiring a neighbor who’s going to run into you again at the Agoura Hills farmers market or the hardware store on Thousand Oaks Boulevard. That’s the accountability that matters when someone is inside your home for a week.
Homeowners in Old Agoura and Morrison Ranch have had Wade’s crew out for everything from slab leaks to post-fire ash cleanup. The same complaint comes up again and again about restoration work: the national franchise quoted one price on the phone and a different one at the door. We don’t play that game. The number we quote is the number on the contract. We also put our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing on every water, fire, and our Mold Remediation in Agoura Hills job. If it’s not done right, Wade comes back and makes it right. One call brings him back.
Wade’s crew is background-checked, uniformed, and carries IICRC and RIA credentials. The equipment is professional-grade: Dri-Eaz dehumidifiers, Phoenix air movers, Injectidry drying systems. Not rental-store fans. And Wade takes moisture readings every single day and hands you the full log at the end of the job. Almost nobody in this industry does that, and it matters when your adjuster asks what was actually done.

Damage Restoration Services We Offer in Agoura Hills
Water Damage Restoration
A burst supply line, a failed water heater, a slab leak under a 1980s ranch-style home on a quiet cul-de-sac. Water doesn’t wait, and neither do we. We extract first, then dry to documented moisture standards, not guesses. Learn more about our Water Damage Restoration in Agoura Hills.
Mold Remediation
Between the marine layer mornings and the dry heat afternoons, Agoura Hills homes create ideal conditions for hidden mold inside wall cavities and under slab floors. We contain, remove, and verify with clearance testing. Learn more about our Mold Remediation in Agoura Hills.
Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration
This is not a standard market for fire work. Homes here that never saw direct flame during Woolsey still needed full duct cleaning and attic insulation replacement because the Santa Ana-driven smoke column forced fine ash deep into HVAC systems throughout the city. Learn more about our Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Agoura Hills.
Storm & Disaster Restoration
When winter rains hit the fire-denuded slopes above residential streets, mud and debris flow where they never flowed before. We respond to Agoura Hills Storm & Disaster Restoration, mud intrusion, and the particular mess that follows a burn-scar rain event.
Sewage Cleanup
A sewer backup in an Agoura Hills home is a health hazard and it doesn’t get better with bleach and a fan. We remove contaminated material, sanitize, and dry properly. This is a job you don’t want half-done.
Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup
We handle these situations with discretion and care. Background-checked, professional, and thorough. You won’t see our name on a loud truck outside your house. We keep it quiet.
Reconstruction & Cleanup
After the mitigation is done, the rebuild begins. Drywall, flooring, paint, trim. We scope the reconstruction in writing, schedule it like a remodel, and don’t promise same-day anything. This is careful work, and it’s priced that way.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Agoura Hills
We work throughout the 91301 and 91376 zip codes, and our typical response time for emergency calls anywhere in Agoura Hills is under 90 minutes.

Why Agoura Hills’s Climate & Housing Affect Damage Restoration
Agoura Hills sits within the Woolsey Fire’s 2018 burn scar, at the base of the Santa Monica Mountains in a designated Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. That creates a compounding problem that most restoration contractors never have to think about. Fire and smoke damage is followed by flash flooding when winter rains hit the denuded mountain slopes directly above residential streets. So Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration - Agoura Hills work here routinely means addressing fire, smoke, ash, mud, and water intrusion as one connected sequence of events, not separate perils. A contractor who treats them separately is going to miss something.
The housing stock adds another layer. Agoura Hills developed mostly from the 1970s through the 1990s as a planned suburban community. That leaves a lot of ranch-style single-family homes with older HVAC systems, slab-on-grade foundations, and T-111 or stucco exteriors. Meanwhile, the post-Woolsey rebuilds from 2019 onward brought brand-new, fire-resistant construction onto the same streets. Wade’s crew works both original-era details that let smoke and moisture travel differently, and new WUI-code-compliant builds that require different drying and scoping approaches. The dry Santa Ana winds that funnel through local canyons each fall are another factor: they drive wildfire directly into residential areas, and they also accelerate drying, which sounds good until you realize it hides moisture trapped behind stucco and under slabs. The Mediterranean rainy season then sends ash-laden runoff down burned slopes into structures, turning minor rain events into real intrusion jobs. Denuded hillside soil above the city can shed water at many times its normal rate after a fire, so what feels like a small storm can become a significant water damage event.

FAQs About Damage Restoration in Agoura Hills
In most parts of Agoura Hills, we can have extraction equipment running within 90 minutes of your call. Wade answers his own phone 24/7, so there’s no answering service delay. Call (855) 915-0646 and we’ll tell you exactly when the crew is arriving.
Most homeowner policies in California cover sudden water damage, fire and smoke, and storm-related intrusion, but coverage depends on your policy specifics. Wade deals with the insurance adjuster directly, so you’re never stuck relaying information between two sides. We also provide photo documentation of everything we do, which makes the adjuster’s job easier and your claim progress faster.
It depends on what’s behind the walls. In Agoura Hills homes with slab-on-grade foundations, water travels under baseboards and into wall cavities fast. A visual cleaning might make it look fine while moisture stays trapped inside. Wade takes daily moisture readings to prove whether the structure is actually dry. That’s the difference between a guess and a documented fact.
Wade does. He communicates with your insurance adjuster directly, sends logs and photos, and makes sure the two sides are working from the same information. You hired us to fix the house, not to become a project manager for your own claim.
The Woolsey burn scar. Homes along hillside streets near Lindero Canyon Road that never saw direct flame still required full duct system cleaning and attic insulation replacement because the Santa Ana-driven smoke column forced fine ash deep into HVAC systems throughout the city. That’s now an expected failure mode here, and a standard post-fire inspection from a flat suburban market will miss it. We don’t, because we’ve done this work all over Agoura Hills.
If you’re dealing with water, fire, mold, storm, or sewage damage in Agoura Hills, call us. You’ll talk to Wade or one of his crew, not a call center. We’ll give you a straight answer and a written scope before any work begins. Call (855) 915-0646 for a free estimate.

What Agoura Hills 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."
