Why Antelope Homeowners Choose Wade’s Restoration of California
Wade Ferris started this company in 2007, put his own name on the truck, and never looked back. He is not a franchise. He lives in the area, his address and license number are published, and you will run into him at the hardware store on a Saturday. That is the oldest accountability system there is, and it still works.
When Wade says he takes moisture readings every single day and hands you the full log when the job is done, he means it. Almost nobody in the trade does that. When he says he deals with your insurance adjuster directly so you are not the one relaying messages between two sides, that is how every job runs. In Antelope neighborhoods like Antelope Crossing and the streets off Walerga Road, folks have learned the hard way that the national chain that quotes one price on the phone and another at the door is not the local reality. Wade prices upfront. No trip charge inside the county. Senior and Veteran discount of 10%, always.
Every water, fire, and mold restoration job comes with the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it is not done right, Wade makes it right. You call one number, and he answers.
Damage Restoration Services We Offer in Antelope
Water Damage Restoration
A supply line fails, a water heater gives out, or winter rain finds a gap in old flashing. Water in Antelope homes moves fast through OSB sheathing and drywall. We extract, dry, and document every step with daily moisture readings.
Learn more about our Water Damage Restoration in Antelope.
Mold Remediation
Antelope’s dry summer heat followed by concentrated winter rain creates a cycle that pushes moisture into wall cavities and around bathroom fans. That hidden damp becomes mold. Our Mold Remediation in Antelope contains the affected area, removes contaminated material, and air-scrubs with professional equipment from B-Air and others.

Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration
Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration - Antelope handles house fires, kitchen fires, and smoke from late-summer wildfires that gets pulled through HVAC systems, all requiring different cleanup approaches. We handle soot removal, odor remediation, and structural cleaning, often bundling duct work with the main scope. That combined call has become routine in Antelope.

Storm & Disaster Restoration
Antelope Storm & Disaster Restoration handles winter storms that breach aging roofs and overwhelm drainage. We board up, tarp, extract standing water, and start drying immediately so a bad storm doesn’t turn into a mold problem.
Sewage Cleanup
A backed-up line or failed septic brings contaminated water into the home. This is not just a mess; it is a health hazard. Wade’s crew removes the waste, sanitizes surfaces, and dries the structure to IICRC standards.
Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup
Trauma scenes, unattended deaths, and biohazard spills require thorough, discreet cleanup. Wade handles these jobs with the seriousness they deserve, coordinating with families and law enforcement as needed.
Reconstruction & Cleanup
After the water is out and the mold is gone, the rebuild begins. We reconstruct damaged walls, floors, ceilings, and cabinetry. This work is scoped, scheduled, and priced in writing like a remodel, not an emergency call.

Why Antelope’s Climate & Housing Affect Damage Restoration
Antelope developed almost entirely between the late 1980s and early 2000s as a Sacramento County bedroom community. That means virtually every block is hitting the 20 to 35 year mark at the same time. Water heaters, HVAC condensate lines, stucco skins, and original roofing are all aging together. In a mixed-age Sacramento neighborhood you might see one house with a failed water heater on a block of older homes. In Antelope, the whole street is entering the same failure window at once. Wade has walked into homes on parallel streets where the same builder used the same materials the same year, and the same moisture pattern shows up behind the same stucco wall. The housing stock here is wood-frame and stucco-clad, with OSB sheathing that delaminates quickly once moisture gets behind the exterior. Water damage is often far more extensive than the visible stain suggests, because that OSB wicks and holds moisture rather than shedding it.
Then there is the climate. Summer pushes past 100°F, stressing condensate lines and cracking caulk. Winter rain, concentrated from November through March, drives water through compromised sealants. The dry-to-wet swing speeds up every failure mode. And when wildfire smoke from the Sierra corridors settles over Antelope in late summer, it gets pulled into homes through HVAC returns. Wade’s crew now regularly bundles duct cleaning and odor remediation into what starts as a water damage or fire call. That combined scope is normal here, far less common just 30 miles west.

FAQs About Damage Restoration in Antelope
For water and sewage emergencies, Wade or a member of his crew is usually on the road within an hour of your call. Extraction equipment runs that same day. For mold or fire work, he schedules a walkthrough promptly. Call (855) 915-0646.
In most cases, yes. Wade deals with your adjuster directly, sends photo documentation and moisture logs, and you never have to play messenger. That direct adjuster communication has gotten more Antelope claims approved without delay than homeowners expect.
If water has sat for more than 24 to 48 hours, or if it reached OSB sheathing, mold risk jumps sharply. Antelope’s housing stock hides moisture. Wade will tell you plainly if a job needs full remediation or just targeted drying. He does not upsell.
The combination of a 1985-2005 stucco-clad OSB build across nearly the whole community, plus the extreme dry-to-wet seasonal cycle. Water breaches the stucco skin, OSB wicks it, and the damage is bigger than the visible stain.
Most water extraction and drying jobs fall between $3 and $7 per square foot. A small bathroom leak might be a few hundred dollars; a slab leak or roof failure can reach several thousand. Estimates are free, and Wade offers a free second opinion on any written estimate. Call (855) 915-0646.

What Antelope Customers Say
"Supply line let go under the sink while we were away for the weekend and we came home to two inches through the whole ground floor. Wade had extraction running within the hour of my call and he was the one who answered it."
- Marianne Kilbride"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."
