Fast, Reliable Reconstruction & Cleanup Across Placentia
If your Placentia home just took water, fire, or wind damage, you need two things: someone who can get there now, and someone who won’t need to come back in six months to redo the work. That’s what our Reconstruction & Cleanup team does. Wade Ferris started this company in 2007, and he still answers his own phone at (855) 915-0646, 24 hours a day. When a slab leak soaks your 1969 ranch off Goldenrod Lane or a Santa Ana wind event rips fascia off a north Placentia home near Carbon Canyon Road, we show up with the right equipment and a written scope before anything gets torn open. We serve every neighborhood in 92870 and 92871, and Wade heads out himself when the call is serious.
Why Wade’s Restoration of California Is Placentia’s Preferred Reconstruction & Cleanup Company
Ask anyone on your street. That’s how people in Placentia find us. The homeowner who lives two doors down had a slab leak three years ago, and Wade’s crew was the one that showed up in under an hour, logged moisture readings every single day, and handed over the full moisture log at the end of the job. Around here, the houses were mostly built between 1958 and 1980, when the citrus groves got paved over for tract development. Those concrete slab-on-grade ranch homes are now 40 to 60-plus years old. The original copper and galvanized supply lines have spent six decades drinking Orange County’s hard, mineral-heavy water. So when a pipe finally gives out under the slab, it’s not a plumbing-only problem. The water travels horizontally through the slab, wicks into flooring, climbs drywall, and collects in the wall cavities. Our Reconstruction & Cleanup crew knows exactly what that damage profile looks like in Placentia because we see it every single week.
We’re locally owned and owner-operated. Not a national chain that sends a rotating cast of subcontractors. Wade’s name is on the truck, his license number is published, and he will run into you at the hardware store on a Saturday. That’s the oldest accountability mechanism there is, and it works. We carry IICRC and RIA credentials, use Dri-Eaz and Injectidry equipment, and every water, fire, and mold rebuild job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not done right, Wade makes it right. One call brings him back.
Our Reconstruction & Cleanup Services in Placentia
Full-Service Reconstruction
This is where we put your Placentia home back together after the emergency crew leaves. Whether it’s a slab leak that ruined a hallway in your 1960s ranch, a kitchen fire on the east side of town, or wind-driven rain that opened up a stucco wall near the canyon, we handle the whole rebuild. Framing, drywall, paint, trim, flooring, cabinetry, counters. One crew, one contract, one written scope agreed to before a single hammer swings. For Reconstruction & Cleanup in Placentia, that continuity matters because the older homes here have quirks: non-standard stud spacing, asbestos-containing materials, slab irregularities. You don’t want a different crew each week learning those quirks from scratch.
Drywall & Flooring Repair
In Placentia’s 1,200 to 1,800 square foot slab ranches, water from slab leaks doesn’t drain away. It sits under the flooring and wicks up into the drywall. We remove only the damaged material, dry the structure to IICRC standard, and rebuild. If your home is pre-1980, we test for asbestos-containing popcorn ceiling and floor adhesive before we open any wall. That step saves you from a stop-work order and double abatement costs. We then hang new drywall, tape, texture, prime, and paint, followed by flooring that actually matches the rest of the house. No weird transition strips thrown in as an afterthought.
Contents Restoration & Pack-Out
When a Placentia rancher floods or burns, the contents matter as much as the structure. We pack out your furniture, rugs, clothing, photos, and heirlooms, inventory everything with photo documentation, and take it to our controlled facility for cleaning and deodorizing. If you’re a self-reliant homeowner who wants to see everything that leaves your house, we hand you the list. When the rebuild is done, we bring it all back and set it where you want it. For insurance claims, that photo documentation and inventory list is exactly what your adjuster needs.
Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning
After a reconstruction job, dust gets everywhere. Fine drywall particles, sawdust, and sanding residue settle into carpet, couches, and drapes. Our post-construction carpet and upholstery cleaning uses professional-grade extraction equipment to pull that stuff out, not push it around. For Placentia homes that just went through a rebuild, this is the difference between “the house is livable” and “the house is clean.” We also do this as a standalone service for allergy-conscious homeowners in 92870 and 92871 who want deep cleaning without calling a national carpet chain.

Common Reconstruction & Cleanup Problems We See in Placentia Homes
- Slab leaks that destroy flooring but get “fixed” with plumber-only repairs. The plumber patches the pipe, then the homeowner waits a month and hires us. By then, the moisture migrated six feet in every direction. We see this on slab-on-grade ranch homes throughout Placentia, especially in the 1960s and 1970s tracts. The fix that lasts is dry-out, repair, and reconstruction together.
- Santa Ana wind damage near Carbon Canyon treated like a standard roof patch. Northern Placentia neighborhoods near the canyon mouth catch wind-driven rain and ember fall that flatter OC cities rarely see. A roof patch without reinforcing the fascia and re-securing the eaves will tear again during the next Santa Ana event. We reinforce, not just patch.
- Asbestos surprises in 1970s stucco walls. Opening a wall in a pre-1980 Placentia home without testing for asbestos-containing drywall compound, popcorn ceiling, or floor adhesive triggers a stop-work order and expensive abatement. We test first. Every time.
- New flooring over a slab that never fully dried. Even after the visible leak is fixed, moisture trapped in the slab can cause new flooring to cup, buckle, or fail within a year. Our moisture readings continue daily until the slab meets spec. That log is yours to keep.
Pricing for Reconstruction & Cleanup in Placentia, CA
A small drywall and flooring repair from a slab leak in a Placentia ranch home typically runs $2,400 to $5,800, depending on how far the moisture traveled and whether asbestos abatement is required. Full-room reconstruction with pack-out of contents usually lands between $8,000 and $22,000 for a single room. Post-construction carpet and upholstery cleaning ranges $180 to $500 per room, depending on square footage and how much drywall dust is involved. If a wall needs to be opened and asbestos-containing materials are present, add $1,200 to $3,500 for testing and abatement. These are Placentia’s actual market ranges, not numbers pulled from a national pricing chart. We give a written scope and a firm price before any work starts. Call (855) 915-0646 and we’ll come out free of charge inside the county to look at your specific job.

FAQs - Reconstruction & Cleanup in Placentia
Because Placentia’s dominant housing stock is 1960s and 1970s slab-on-grade ranches whose original copper and galvanized supply lines have spent decades degrading in Orange County’s hard, mineral-heavy water. When a pipe fails under the slab, water travels horizontally through the concrete, soaking flooring, wicking up drywall, and pooling in wall cavities. A plumber fixes the pipe; our Reconstruction & Cleanup crew fixes the damage path which can easily be 20 feet of flooring and 4 feet of drywall. Call (855) 915-0646 for a free assessment before you start pulling up tile.
Northern Placentia sits at the mouth of Carbon Canyon, where Santa Ana winds funnel through the gap from the Chino Hills. Homes near Carbon Canyon Road and the Brea border catch wind-driven rain, roof damage, and ember fall at rates that flatter parts of 92870 around Orangethorpe Avenue rarely see. That means fascia reinforcement, screen replacement, and ember-resistant materials matter more on the north edge of town. A standard patch that holds up in Anaheim may not survive the next wind event off the canyon. We treat canyon-adjacent damage as its own category - because it is.
Yes, if the home was built before 1980, which covers the vast majority of Placentia’s housing stock. Popcorn ceilings, drywall compound, and floor adhesives from this era often contain asbestos, and disturbing them without testing is a health risk and a code violation. We test first, under IICRC protocols. If abatement is needed, we handle it before reconstruction proceeds. Skipping this step on a 1970s stucco wall off Goldenrod Lane can trigger a stop-work order and double your abatement costs. We won’t let that happen to you.
It means we stage the whole job, pack-out, demolition, reconstruction, and final clean, so we’re not making six trips back to a detached workshop or a house with a long service drive on the city’s edges. On a reconstruction call off Goldenrod Lane, our crew replaced a 1970s stucco wall where wind-driven rain had wicked through a cracked weep screed, found original galvanized plumbing sweating behind asbestos-containing drywall, handled abatement, routed new PEX supply lines, re-sheathed the wall, and restored the interior. One trip, because the homeowner wanted it done right the first time. That’s how we work on every Placentia acreage property.
Yes. We photograph every stage of the job, take daily moisture readings, and hand you the full log at the end. Wade deals with the adjuster directly, so you’re not stuck relaying information between two parties. That documentation is a big reason Placentia homeowners’ slab-leak claims go smoother with us than with a company that just shows up with fans and a vague bill. We’ll also give you a second opinion on any written estimate, free of charge.
