Why Loma Linda Homeowners Choose Wade’s Restoration of California
We are a locally owned, owner-operated restoration company, and the difference is simple: when Wade Ferris commits to a job, his name is on the contract, his cell number is in your phone, and he is going to run into you again at the Gerrards Market on Barton. That is the oldest accountability mechanism there is. Homeowners in the Redlands Boulevard corridor and the neighborhoods up toward the South Hills have called us for everything from slab leaks to chimney fires, and they keep calling because the work gets documented. Wade takes moisture readings every single day and hands you the full log when the job ends. Almost nobody else in the trade does that, and it means you can see exactly what was wet, what was dried, and what was removed. We are IICRC-certified and RIA-affiliated, and every water, fire, or our Mold Remediation in Loma Linda job comes with the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing.
Damage Restoration Services We Offer in Loma Linda
Water Damage Restoration
Loma Linda’s 1950s and 1960s ranch homes are full of original galvanized pipes that have been quietly failing for decades, and when they go, they go fast. We extract, dry, and document everything, using equipment from Dri-Eaz and Phoenix that gets structure dry without unnecessary demolition. Learn more about our Water Damage Restoration in Loma Linda.

Mold Remediation
Mold in Loma Linda almost always follows water, and water follows plumbing failures, bathroom fans that vent into attics, and sprinkler overspray against stucco. We remove contaminated material under containment, run air scrubbers from B-Air, and leave you with a written clearance report, not a strong smell of bleach and a shrug. Learn more about our Mold Remediation in Loma Linda.

Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration
Santa Ana winds out of the Cajon Pass have pushed embers into Loma Linda neighborhoods more times than most residents want to remember. Smoke works into every porous surface, and we clean it with chem-sponges, thermal fogging, and hydroxyl generation rather than repainting over the problem. Learn more about our Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Loma Linda.

Storm & Disaster Restoration
When an atmospheric river stalls over the San Bernardino Valley, Loma Linda’s semi-arid drainage simply cannot keep up, and water finds every low corner. We tarp, board up, extract, and dry, then write the scope an adjuster can actually approve. Learn more by calling our home office.

Sewage Cleanup
Sewage backup is a biohazard, not a plumbing inconvenience. We remove contaminated material, disinfect with hospital-grade products, and dry the cavity to prevent what the industry calls category 3 cross-contamination, the kind that makes a two-day job into a two-week one.

Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup
Some jobs in Loma Linda require a level of discretion and protocol that big-box franchise crews are not prepared for. We handle biohazard cleanup quietly, completely, and in a way that respects the people who live and work in the building.

Reconstruction & Cleanup
After the water is out and the mold is gone, the property still has to go back together. Wade’s crew does the full rebuild, from drywall to flooring to trim, so you are not juggling three different contractors and waiting on each one’s schedule.

Why Loma Linda’s Climate & Housing Affect Damage Restoration
Loma Linda sits on the San Bernardino Valley floor, and the city’s expansive clay soils shrink hard in the summer and heave in wet winters, a motion that stresses slabs and supply lines in ways that produce slow, hidden leaks, the kind that show up as a water stain long after the leak started. And when Santa Ana winds blow, they drive relative humidity into the single digits and turn the foothills into tinder; wind-driven embers have reached neighborhoods here before, and Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration - Loma Linda is not a hypothetical need. Then, in winter, atmospheric rivers arrive in weeks-long trains and overwhelm stormwater systems sized for a drier century. The restoration work here is never just about the event itself; it is about the clay soil under the slab, the hard water that has been eating at the copper since the Eisenhower administration, and the drying conditions outside. A restoration company that does not account for those specifics will dry a house too slowly or too fast and call it done.

FAQs About Damage Restoration in Loma Linda
Most water emergencies in the 92350, 92354, and 92357 ZIP codes see a crew inside the hour, and Wade himself often arrives first. He answers his own phone at any hour, so you will know within minutes when he is rolling. Call (855) 915-0646 and you will not get a menu.
In most cases, yes, for sudden and accidental water damage, fire, and storm-related losses. Wade deals with the adjuster directly, sends daily moisture readings and photo documentation so the claim never stalls, and writes scopes that adjusters recognize. You are never stuck relaying information between two sides. Call (855) 915-0646 with your policy number handy and we will tell you what to expect.
If you are seeing visible mold, or if water sat for more than 48 hours, surface cleaning is not enough. Mold colonizes inside drywall cavities and under flooring, and the drying equipment required is not something a rental blower can replicate. We will tell you straight if a simple cleaning will suffice; if it will not, we will show you the moisture readings to prove it.
The medical campus. Loma Linda University Medical Center and its surrounding institutional buildings create a set of demands that simply do not exist at this scale next door. Work inside hospital-adjacent properties often requires ICRA-compliant containment, Joint Commission-compatible protocols, and coordination with university infection control and facilities staff. Not every restoration company is set up for that. Wade’s is.
If water is involved and it is safe to do so, shut off the main water valve. If you see electrical outlets or appliances in standing water, do not enter the room. Document everything with your phone, then call (855) 915-0646. Wade will walk you through the next 30 minutes over the phone while he is on the road.

What Loma Linda Customers Say
"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."
- 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."
