Why Artesia Homeowners Choose Wade’s Restoration of California
Wade Ferris started this company in 2007 after watching too many families in Artesia get bounced between a national franchise’s phone tree and a rotating cast of subcontractors who never seemed to know what the other guy had promised. So he built the opposite of that. Wade’s name is on the truck. His address is published. He’s the one who picks up the phone at midnight, and he’s the one who runs into you at the Pioneer Boulevard farmers market on Saturday morning. That’s the oldest accountability system there is, and it works better than any corporate guarantee.
Residents in the neighborhoods around Artesia Park and the historic downtown district have called us for everything from burst supply lines to post-fire odor removal. The feedback we hear most: they liked knowing exactly who was in their home, they liked seeing the moisture readings every day, and they liked that the final bill matched the written estimate. Our team carries IICRC credentials, and every water, fire, and mold job includes the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not right, Wade makes it right. No fine print, no phone tag.
Damage Restoration Services We Offer in Artesia
Water Damage Restoration
A failed galvanized pipe or a sudden slab leak in Artesia means water travels fast through drywall and under flooring. We extract, dry, and document everything, handing you a daily moisture log so you know exactly where your walls stand. Learn more about our Water Damage Restoration in Artesia.
Mold Remediation
Artesia’s shallow water table and slab-on-grade housing stock make mold a stubborn problem after even minor water losses. We find the source, contain the affected area, and remove the growth properly, not just wipe the surface. Learn more about our Mold Remediation in Artesia.
Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration
Kitchen fires and electrical failures leave behind soot and odor that penetrate every porous surface. We clean, deodorize, and rebuild, working directly with your adjuster so you’re not the one stuck relaying messages. Learn more about our Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Artesia.
Storm & Disaster Restoration
When heavy rain overwhelms Artesia’s aging storm drains and groundwater pushes up against your foundation, we handle emergency extraction and structural drying with professional-grade equipment.
Sewage Cleanup
Sewage backups carry pathogens that require more than a mop and bleach. We handle containment, removal, disinfection, and air quality verification with full safety protocols.
Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup
These are the calls nobody wants to make, and we treat them with the discretion and thoroughness they require. Our crew handles the cleanup so you don’t have to.

Why Artesia’s Climate & Housing Affect Damage Restoration
Artesia is literally named for its artesian wells. The city sits on an alluvial plain with a historically high, naturally pressurized water table. That’s not just trivia. It means when a pipe bursts in your 1960s slab-on-grade tract home, moisture moves two ways: down through your flooring from the leak above, and up through the concrete from the groundwater below. We see this on jobs across 90701 and 90702, especially in homes that still have their original galvanized steel supply lines corroding from decades of moderately hard water. A pinhole leak that would be a minor inconvenience in Cerritos turns into a multi-day structural drying project in Artesia because the slab never really gets a chance to dry out on its own.
Seasonal rain adds another layer. Artesia sits low and flat on the southeast Los Angeles County coastal plain, where drainage has never been great. When storms roll through, aging storm infrastructure gets overwhelmed and groundwater creeps closer to the surface. Drying timelines stretch. Mold risk climbs. That’s why we don’t guess at dryness here. Wade takes moisture readings every single day and hands you the full log when the job is done. Almost nobody else does that.
And if your property is on Pioneer Boulevard, you know the commercial side of this too. Those dense rows of South Asian restaurants and sweet shops run intensive kitchen and refrigeration equipment daily. When a pipe fails in one of those mixed-use buildings, it usually hits shared walls and adjacent tenant spaces at the same time. It’s structurally more complex than your typical strip-mall claim, and it requires a crew that understands how moisture moves through connected commercial spaces. We’ve handled enough of them to know exactly what to do when the water doesn’t respect property lines.

FAQs About Damage Restoration in Artesia
Typically under an hour for water emergencies anywhere in Artesia, including 90701 and 90702. Wade answers his own phone 24/7, so you’re talking directly to the person dispatching the crew, not a call center. Call (855) 915-0646 and he’ll tell you exactly when to expect the truck.
Artesia’s artesian water table sits close to the surface, and many of our 1950s through 1970s homes are built slab-on-grade with poor sub-slab drainage. That means moisture wicks up through the concrete even after surface water is extracted, extending drying times and raising mold risk. We account for this with daily moisture readings and longer drying protocols.
Most homeowners policies cover sudden water damage, fire, and storm-related losses. Sewage backups and certain types of mold may have limited or no coverage. Wade deals with your adjuster directly, sends photo documentation, and provides the moisture logs insurers want to see. That saves you from being the middleman between two sides that don’t talk to each other.
If water sat for more than 24 hours in an Artesia slab home, full remediation is almost always cheaper in the long run than a surface cleaning. The high water table means moisture stays trapped in building materials far longer than you’d expect. A cleaning doesn’t address what’s inside the walls or under the flooring. We’ll give you an honest assessment. If you only need a cleaning, that’s what we’ll tell you.
Wade Ferris owns this company, answers his own phone, and puts his name and address on everything. He gives you his cell. He hands you a daily moisture log. He deals with your adjuster directly. And every water, fire, and mold job comes with a 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not done right, he makes it right. Ask anyone on your street.
When water is rising in your Artesia home, don’t wait for a call center to call you back. Call (855) 915-0646 now. Wade will pick up. He’ll get a crew rolling. And he’ll be the one you see again at the hardware store next week. To wade is what you do through a flooded basement at two in the morning, and it happens to be his name.

What Artesia Customers Say
"Excellent emergency response and honest about what could and could not be saved. The equipment ran in the house for six days and the noise was genuinely hard to live with, though he did explain why it had to."
- Grantham Fairweather"The first company I rang wanted to tear out the hardwood immediately. Wade said if he could get it dry in seventy two hours it would come back, and it did. Saved us the floor and a great deal of money."
- Esperanza Villarreal"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."
