Why Wade’s Restoration of California Is Lemoore’s Preferred Water Damage Restoration Company
You want a name and a face you’ll run into at the hardware store. That’s Wade Ferris.

To wade is what you do through a flooded basement at 2 AM, and it happens to be his name.

He’s the one who shows up.

We charge honestly, put the scope in writing before work starts, and back every water restoration job with our 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, Wade makes it right. In writing. Ask anyone on your street. Around Lemoore, our reputation travels by word of mouth, not by flashy ads.
Our Water Damage Restoration Services in Lemoore
Emergency Water Extraction
When water is standing in a Lemoore home, every hour it sits means more wicking up drywall, deeper saturation into subflooring, and more cabinet bases ruined. Wade’s crew runs truck-mounted extraction that pulls hundreds of gallons fast, and we bring enough air movers to start drying the moment the standing water is gone. Response time to most Lemoore neighborhoods is under an hour because we stage equipment nearby. You call, you get a live person, and someone is rolling.
Structural Drying & Dehumidification
In Lemoore, drying is not a one-size-fits-all job, and there’s a reason this is one of our most-requested services. The town sits on former Tulare Lake bed with clay-heavy soil that holds water against slab foundations and crawls. A floor that feels dry to the touch can be reading 20% moisture with a meter, and that gap is where mold starts. We run Dri-Eaz LGR dehumidifiers and desiccant units, take moisture readings every single day, and hand you the full log when the job is done. Almost nobody in the trade does this. Wade does it on every job. It’s how you know the walls are actually dry, not just dry-looking.
Flood Cleanup
The 2023 atmospheric rivers proved what old-timers around here already knew: Lemoore sits in a bowl where water lingers. When stormwater or groundwater makes it inside, flood cleanup is not just extraction. It’s contaminated water, mud, and saturated building materials. Wade’s crew removes the damaged materials, sanitizes what stays, and gets the structure to a point where it can actually dry. In the clay soils under Lemoore, flood cleanup done wrong means the problem resurfaces weeks later. We plan for that from day one.
Burst Pipe Restoration
A burst pipe in a Lemoore split-level or 1970s tract home can flood a wall cavity in minutes. PEX and copper both fail, and when they do, water follows gravity into wherever it can go: baseboards, subfloor, downstairs ceilings. Our Water Damage Restoration team finds the full extent of the water path, not just the wet spot you see. We cut where we need to, not where it’s convenient, and we dry what’s salvageable. Burst pipe jobs in Lemoore usually require slab or wall cavity drying, and that’s exactly what our equipment is built for.

Common Water Damage Restoration Problems We See in Lemoore Homes
- Slab leaks that get painted over, not fixed. Off-base rentals near NAS Lemoore turn over every two to three years as squadrons rotate. Landlords often have the unit repainted between tenants, and active water damage or mold gets sealed behind fresh paint. We’ve opened walls to find three generations of drywall patches hiding the same leak.
- Saturated clay wicking moisture back through slabs. Lemoore’s clay soil holds water. We’ve dried floors to spec, only to watch the meter creep back up days later because the sub-slab moisture had nowhere to go. That’s why we push for sub-slab vapor barrier work on Lemoore slab homes when the readings justify it.
- Tule fog season doubling dry times. From November through February, Lemoore humidity hangs near 100% for weeks. Structural materials simply will not reach a safe moisture content without supplemental heat and desiccant drying. Homeowners who try to speed this up with box fans from the hardware store usually end up with mold in the wall cavities.
- Burst supply lines in original plumbing. The 1960s-1990s tract homes around Lemoore were built fast to house Navy families. Original galvanized pipe and early polybutylene lines are still out there, and when they let go, the water volume is high. Our first job is extraction and drying. Our second job is documenting exactly what happened so your insurance has what it needs.

FAQs - Water Damage Restoration in Lemoore
Why does water damage dry so slowly in Lemoore compared to nearby Visalia?
Because Lemoore sits on the former bed of Tulare Lake, and the clay soil under this town holds water like a bowl. Visalia and Hanford sit on better-draining soils, but Lemoore’s clay wicks moisture back into slabs and crawl spaces long after the surface looks dry. We plan drying timelines to account for that, and we hand you daily moisture logs so you can see the readings yourself. If your floors are drying slowly, it’s the soil, not a defective piece of equipment. Call (855) 915-0646 and we’ll tell you what the meter says.
What should landlords near NAS Lemoore do about hidden water damage between tenants?
Stop painting until the wall is opened and checked. Around NAS Lemoore, units turn over every 24 to 36 months, and the quickest fix between tenants is a fresh coat of paint. If there’s active mold or a slow leak behind the drywall, the next inspection will be worse, not better. Landlords who call us get a photo-documented assessment and a written scope, and Wade deals with the adjuster directly if a claim is involved. One call to (855) 915-0646 gets you an honest look before you repaint over a problem again.
Can a burst pipe under a Lemoore slab foundation be dried without tearing out the floor?
Sometimes, if the water hasn’t been sitting long and the slab was sealed correctly. Lemoore’s clay makes sub-slab drying harder than in neighboring cities. Often the answer is a combination: Injectidry drying mats on top, targeted access to the pipe itself, and a sub-slab vapor barrier so the moisture doesn’t wick back. We’ll tell you when the floor can be saved and when it can’t, and we’ll show you the readings. Get an honest answer by calling (855) 915-0646.
Do I need flood cleanup if water never entered my living space but the ground is saturated after a storm?
You may need structural drying even if the living space feels dry. Saturated clay soil against a foundation transmits moisture through the slab and into wall bottom plates. You won’t see it until baseboards swell or mold appears months later. If your crawl space or slab is sitting on saturated soil after a Lemoore storm, at minimum you need moisture readings. We’ll run them for free and tell you if there’s a problem. Call (855) 915-0646 before the water that never touched your floor becomes the mold you can’t ignore.
How does tule fog affect water damage restoration timelines in Lemoore?
Tule fog keeps Lemoore air near 100% relative humidity for weeks each winter. Standard dehumidifiers struggle to pull moisture from structural materials when the ambient air is already saturated. That’s why Wade’s crew runs desiccant dehumidifiers and supplemental heat on fog-season Lemoore jobs, which adds to the timeline but prevents the materials from staying wet long enough for mold to take hold. Expect a fog-season drying job in Lemoore to run anywhere from a third to twice as long as the same job in July. It’s one of the reasons we take daily moisture readings and show you the log.
