Fast, Reliable Storm & Disaster Restoration Across Palermo
Storm damage in Palermo moves fast, and so do we. When driving rain, high wind, or a falling limb breaches your roof or floods your manufactured home, the first hours matter most. Wade Ferris answers his own phone at (855) 915-0646, and he can have a crew on Palermo-Honcut Highway headed your way within the hour. We know the rural properties here, the private wells, the older mobile homes, and the way a storm rolls off the foothills east of town. That local knowledge means we show up ready to work, not ready to figure out where the water shutoff is.
Why Wade’s Restoration of California Is Palermo’s Preferred Storm & Disaster Restoration Company
We have been running storm calls in Palermo long enough to know what a wind event does to a manufactured home off Palermo-Honcut Highway versus a ranch house on acreage. The difference matters. A national franchise crew might show up with a generic playbook. Our people know that a Palermo stormwater problem usually means no municipal shutoff, a belly board holding water you can not see, and a homeowner who wants straight answers, not a sales pitch.
Wade started this company in 2007 and put his name on the truck because he intended to keep facing the same people at the hardware store. That is how accountability works out here. When you call us from Palermo, you are not getting a call center. You are getting Wade or someone who works directly for him, and that person knows the drive time from our Sacramento office to your property, and they know what the damage is likely to look like before they even pull in the driveway.
Every storm restoration job we run is backed by the 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something is not right, Wade comes back and makes it right. It is in writing, on every contract, because we know how much trust it takes to let someone into your home after a disaster. Ask anyone on your street who has had water where it should not be. They will tell you the same thing.
Our Storm & Disaster Restoration Services in Palermo
Storm Damage Cleanup
After a storm tears through Palermo, the mess is more than just water. We pull soaked drywall, carpet, insulation, and whatever the wind shoved inside. The work happens fast because mold does not wait, especially in the high heat that follows a summer storm. We run Dri-Eaz and Phoenix equipment to get moisture out of framing and subfloor before it turns into something worse. In manufactured homes especially, we check the belly board every single time, because that is where stormwater hides and spreads problems under the floor.
Flood Damage Restoration
Palermo sits where wet winters and fire-scarred foothills meet, and flash flooding is a real threat in lower-lying parts of town. We extract standing water, dry the structure, and deal with the mud and debris that comes with runoff from the hills east of Palermo. Our crews run commercial-grade extractors and LGR dehumidifiers and we hand you the full moisture log when the job is done. That kind of documentation makes your insurance adjuster’s job easier, and it makes ours more honest.
Emergency Board-Up
A broken window or a torn-out wall is an open invitation to animals, weather, and trouble. We come out fast and board up the opening correctly, with hardware that will hold until permanent repairs are made. In Palermo, we also tarp manufactured home roof seams where wind has peeled back sections, because a standard board-up without seam attention lets water walk straight back into the insulation. No charge for the trip inside our own county, and we’ll give you a straight answer about what happened and what it costs before we touch a single board.
Roof Tarping
When a waterlogged limb from a Palermo oak or a gust off the foothills knocks a hole in your roof, you need a tarp that stays put. We use heavy-duty anchor systems, not just nails and hope. Our Storm & Disaster Restoration team has tarped everything from single-wide manufactured homes to detached workshops on acreage properties off Palermo-Honcut Highway. We know that a tarp has to hold through the next front that rolls in, and we secure it like it matters, because it does.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palermo
We run professional-grade equipment from Dri-Eaz and Phoenix on every Palermo storm job because cheap gear produces cheap results, and cheap results are the reason a lot of people end up calling us for a second opinion. Our crews are IICRC-certified and we follow RIA standards on water and storm restoration work. You get the same caliber of drying science the big loss-recovery firms use, but from a Palermo-minded crew that knows your property is not a template.
Common Storm & Disaster Restoration Problems We See in Palermo Homes
- Belly board water traps: In Palermo’s older manufactured homes, stormwater pools under the vapor barrier and spreads mold before you ever see a stain. We inspect and dry the belly board on every flood call because skipping it means the problem comes back.
- Private well issues: Many Palermo properties are off-grid for water, and a flood can short a well pump or backfeed contaminated water into the house. We check the whole system, not just the puddles.
- Wind-driven ash and particulate: A storm that rolls through during fire season can pull ash and fine debris deep into flex-duct systems. Standard crews miss this. We run HEPA remediation on ducts as a follow-on service because this is a real issue in Palermo.
- Workshop and outbuilding damage: Detached shops take a beating out here. A downed limb through a corrugated roof is a typical Palermo storm call. We tarp, board up, and dry the structure so it goes back into service fast.

FAQs - Storm & Disaster Restoration in Palermo
We treat the belly board as its own drying chamber, not a crawlspace. In Palermo’s older manufactured homes, stormwater collects beneath the vapor barrier and spreads mold where you can not see it. We cut inspection ports, pump out trapped water, run a Dri-Eaz LGR into the cavity, and document every moisture reading. Then we hand you the log. A crew that treats it like a normal crawlspace will leave enough water behind to start a mold problem months later. Call (855) 915-0646 and we’ll walk you through what your specific setup needs.
Yes, if the storm happened during or after a wildfire smoke event. Palermo sits east of the Paradise Ridge, and when fires burn in those foothills, older flex-duct systems pull fine ash straight into HVAC returns. A windstorm compounds it. We run HEPA remediation on ducts and registers as a standard follow-on service on Palermo storm jobs where particulate is visible or the homeowner reports a smoke smell. It is not something most crews think to check. We check every time. Call for an assessment.
Yes, and we know what that means in this town. Palermo absorbed a lot of families after the 2018 Camp Fire displaced roughly 50,000 Butte County residents, and many of them bought older manufactured homes that had already absorbed smoke and ash. We have walked through that with homeowners many times. We photograph everything, write a scope your adjuster can actually read, and deal with the insurance company directly so you are not stuck relaying messages between us and them. If you want a second opinion on a written estimate, that is free. Always has been.
Call Wade at (855) 915-0646 and he will get a tarp crew rolling. We rolled out to a ranch property off Palermo-Honcut Highway after a winter storm dropped a waterlogged oak limb through a detached workshop’s corrugated roof. Our crew used a Dri-Eaz LGR 7000XLi and Phoenix R200 to pull moisture from the slab and framing, then tarped the 10-by-12-foot overhead door with a heavy-duty anchor system because the homeowner needed the single-bay shop back in service the next morning. That is what we mean by one trip, done right.
Yes. Mud and rock have to come out before drying can start, otherwise you are drying over a moisture reservoir. We shovel, pump, and haul, then run our drying setup. In Palermo, debris-laden runoff from fire-scarred foothills to the east makes this more common than people expect. A lot of firms want to dry first and clean later. That is backwards. We clear the crawlspace, document the debris, and work with your adjuster on any additional coverage. Call for an exact quote.
