Fast, Reliable Reconstruction & Cleanup Across San Dimas
Reconstruction and cleanup in San Dimas usually means one of two things right now: either a fire on the slopes above town sent smoke and ash through your attic, or a winter storm pushed mud and sediment out of the San Dimas Wash and into your garage, crawl space, or first floor. Sometimes it’s both, weeks apart. Wade’s Restoration of California has handled that exact combination more times than we can count. Our Reconstruction & Cleanup team knows the foothill streets, the older ranch homes, and the way sediment behaves differently from clean water. If you’re standing in a flooded garage on Calle Bandido or smelling smoke in your ductwork on Foothill Boulevard, call (855) 915-0646 and Wade will answer.
Why Wade’s Restoration of California Is San Dimas’s Preferred Reconstruction & Cleanup Company
Wade Ferris founded this company in 2007, and his name is still on the truck. He answers his own phone. When you call about San Dimas damage, you’re not getting a call center in another state, you’re getting a man who has walked the San Gabriel foothills and knows what a burn scar does to the homes below it. Ask anyone on your street. The people we’ve worked for in San Dimas tend to tell their neighbors, because around here that’s how you find someone you can trust with your house.
We show up fast. For water, fire, and storm damage, Wade heads out immediately, often with extraction running inside the hour. For reconstruction, we scope the work, put a written plan in front of you, and agree on the price before we open a single wall. Every water, fire, and mold job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not done right, Wade makes it right. No fine print, no argument.
Our Reconstruction & Cleanup Services in San Dimas
Full-Service Reconstruction
When the San Dimas Wash overflows or a debris flow pushes through a fence line, you’re not dealing with a simple dry-out. We rebuild what the mud and water destroyed: studs, sill plates, drywall, flooring, trim, and sometimes entire garage interiors. We know the 1950s and 1960s ranch homes in San Dimas often have original framing that needs special drying and repair attention, not just replacement with whatever the supply house has. Wade’s crew works to current flood-resistant standards while keeping the character of your home intact.
Drywall & Flooring Repair
Sediment and ash wick into drywall fast. On a 1962 ranch house two streets south of the wash, we removed drywall to 24 inches, dried the framing with Phoenix axial fans, and replaced flooring that had absorbed six inches of mud. In San Dimas, this work is often paired with checking original supply lines. Hard water scale hides stress cracks in old galvanized and copper pipe, cracks that open after structural settling and cause a second flood during reconstruction. We check before we close the walls.
Contents Restoration & Pack-Out
Smoke from a hillside burn gets into everything: clothes, furniture, books, photos. Mud from the wash destroys what it touches. We pack out your belongings, clean and restore what can be saved, inventory everything with photos, and store it until your home is ready. For San Dimas homeowners dealing with insurance claims, this documentation matters. Your adjuster needs a line-item inventory, and we provide one without being asked.
Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning
After a fire, smoke particles settle deep into carpet fibers and upholstery. After a mud intrusion, carpet often has to go. But when it can be saved, we clean it properly with professional-grade Dri-Eaz equipment. Same for upholstery that carries that campfire smell weeks after the flames are out. We’ll tell you honestly whether it’s salvageable or whether replacement is cheaper than repeated cleaning.

Trusted Brands We Service in San Dimas
Wade’s crew works with equipment and methods recognized by the RIA and IFA, and we use Dri-Eaz and Phoenix drying systems on every water and mud job. Why does that matter in San Dimas? Because sediment from the wash clogs lesser equipment and false-dries surfaces. Fine silt tricks standard moisture meters into showing dry when the bottom plate is still soaked. We know how to work around that, and we bring the tools that get the job done right the first time.
Common Reconstruction & Cleanup Problems We See in San Dimas Homes
- False dry readings after mud intrusion. Fine sediment from the San Dimas Wash clogs moisture meters and leaves hidden wet pockets in sill plates and bottom plates. Standard water-damage drying protocols just don’t work on foothill mud, and we see the results of that mistake in homes that were “dried” by other companies and are now growing mold behind the baseboards.
- Secondary floods from stress-cracked supply lines. San Dimas homes built in the 1950s through 1970s often still have original galvanized or early copper pipe. Hard water scale hides cracks that open up after structural settling. We check during reconstruction, before sheetrock goes back up.
- Repeat debris flows into crawl spaces and garages. Certain streets near the wash, including parts of Calle Bandido and Foothill Boulevard, see repeat mud intrusion. If your crawl space or garage door seal isn’t retrofitted, you’ll be calling us again next winter. We fix it so you don’t have to.
- Smoke and ember ash in attic insulation. Santa Ana winds funnel down the canyons and push ash through gable vents and soffit gaps into attics across the northern edge of town. Insulation holds that smell for months unless it’s removed and replaced during reconstruction.

FAQs - Reconstruction & Cleanup in San Dimas
Yes. We match drywall texture, baseboard profile, and flooring style to the original where possible, while using water-resistant materials in the lower wall sections and flooring areas that are likely to see water again. Your home keeps its character, but the rebuilt parts won’t absorb the next intrusion the same way. Call (855) 915-0646 and Wade will walk the damage with you and explain exactly what we’d do.
Yes, if we’re rebuilding after smoke or ember damage, attic insulation removal and replacement is part of the scope when it holds smoke odor or ash. We also check your gable vents, soffit gaps, and any other openings the wind used to push embers in. If the seals need upgrading, we include that in the written estimate. Call (855) 915-0646 for a free assessment.
We inspect every accessible supply line before we close any wall. Scale buildup is inspected where we can see it, and areas showing stress or corrosion get replaced with new copper or PEX. The San Gabriel Valley’s hard water is rough on old pipe, and the last thing you want is a new wall hiding a pipe that’s about to let go. Call (855) 915-0646 if you’re planning reconstruction and want this checked.
That depends on the door’s condition and the extent of the damage. A steel one-piece door that’s bent and rusted is usually better replaced with a sectional door, which seals better against future debris and water. If the door is structurally sound and the damage is cosmetic, we’ll repair it. Either way, we’ll give you a written estimate and let you decide. Call (855) 915-0646 for a free quote.
In a 1978 tract home, it could be either. Post-mud settling can shift the door frame or the slab, which means the door isn’t the real problem. But the door’s hardware or track could also have been bent by the mud or the pressure of settling. We’ll inspect both. If it’s structural, we’ll tell you straight and write a scope for the foundation or framing work needed. Call (855) 915-0646 and we’ll come look.
