Damage Restoration Services in Hitchcock, TX
Water damage in Hitchcock rarely announces itself politely. It creeps in after a hard rain pools against a slab foundation on Highland Bayou, or it roars in when storm surge pushes saltwater over FM 2004. When a pipe lets go under a 1970s ranch house at two in the morning, you need someone who knows Hitchcock’s streets and answers the phone. That’s us. Wade Ferris founded Wade’s Restoration in 2007, and he still answers calls at midnight. Call (888) 534-8116 and Wade will head out from the Houston office to Hitchcock, usually with extraction running inside the hour.

Why Hitchcock Homeowners Choose Wade’s Restoration of Houston
Wade publishes his name, address, and license number. That matters in a small town where you’ll run into him again at the hardware store. His crews wear uniforms, pass background checks, and carry professional-grade equipment from Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, Injectidry, and B-Air. Every water, fire, and mold job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it isn’t done right, Wade makes it right. We’ve worked on homes throughout Hitchcock including neighborhoods along Delaney Road, around Lake Road, and near Jack Brooks Park. When a Bayou Vista-adjacent home floods, the caller is often a retiree on a fixed income who already spent too much on a national chain that quoted one price on the phone and another at the door. Wade gives no-hassle upfront pricing and stays on the job himself. The IICRC, RIA, and IFA credentials back it up, but honestly, the local accountability is what keeps Wade showing up twice a week to take moisture readings until the job is done.
Damage Restoration Services We Offer in Hitchcock
Water Damage Restoration
Floodwater under a Hitchcock pier-and-beam house saturates subfloor insulation and framing within hours. Extraction with truck-mounted units, daily moisture logs, and structural drying are standard before any rebuild begins – Wade hands you the full log at the end, something almost nobody else in the trade does.

Mold Remediation
Hitchcock’s humidity above 80% means mold colonization starts within 24 to 48 hours of any water event. We contain, remove, and treat affected wall cavities and subfloor systems, and we document everything for your adjuster.

Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration
House fires layered over salt-laden air require aggressive corrosion control and smoke deodorization. Soot and smoke also creep into the same porous framing that floods have already weakened, so we treat both.

Storm & Disaster Restoration
Storm surge from Hurricane Ike pushed several feet of saltwater through much of Hitchcock, and seasonal tropical storms still dump rain that drainage bayous can’t carry. Board-up, tarp, water extraction, and full structural drying start fast as part of our Storm & Disaster Restoration in Hitchcock so the damage doesn’t spread.
Sewage Cleanup
Backed-up sewage from an old septic system or a city line sends contaminated water through the same crawlspaces that already hold floodwater. This is a job for trained crews with proper PPE and disposal protocols, and our Hitchcock Sewage Cleanup team does it thoroughly and under written scope.
Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup
These situations are nothing a homeowner should touch. Our team handles transportation, cleanup, and disinfection with compassion and complete discretion at Hitchcock properties.
Reconstruction & Cleanup
Once dry, the rebuild becomes a scoped and scheduled Hitchcock Reconstruction & Cleanup project like any remodel. We provide a written scope before any work starts, never a handshake and a surprise invoice.

Why Hitchcock’s Climate & Housing Affect Damage Restoration
Hitchcock sits at near sea level in Galveston County, wedged between Galveston Bay and low-lying drainage bayous. That geography makes it one of the most repeatedly flood-struck communities in the Houston-Galveston metro. Storm surge from Hurricane Ike pushed several feet of saltwater through large portions of the city, leaving salt crystals in framing that keep pulling moisture from the air. On top of that, much of Hitchcock’s housing stock consists of modest, older single-family homes built at or near grade level, many predating the post-Ike FEMA flood elevation advisory standards, plus a significant share of manufactured and mobile homes on shallow piers. Those construction types absorb and hold floodwater in subfloor systems, wall cavities, and insulation far longer than an elevated slab home would. The subtropical humidity then feeds mold inside cavities that look dry from the outside. A significant number of Hitchcock homes flooded during Ike were remediated informally – drywall torn out, box fans run for a week, rebuilt without professional moisture mapping. That left hidden mold colonies that resurface every time another rain event or humidity spike hits, which is why we see repeat-remediation calls on the same Hitchcock addresses years apart.

In Hitchcock’s subtropical humidity, hidden mold colonies inside wall cavities will not resolve with surface cleaning. If your home was flooded during Ike or any storm since and was remediated informally, there is a real chance of concealed growth. Wade’s moisture readings can tell you what’s actually behind the drywall before you spend money.
Wade does. He documents every day of drying, takes moisture readings, and coordinates directly with your adjuster so you are never stuck in the middle. That’s part of why he publishes his cell number. Call (888) 534-8116 any time.

What Hitchcock Customers Say
"Sewer backup into the basement, which is about as bad as it gets. Full protective gear, everything porous out and bagged, sanitised properly, and you would never know now."
- Ignatius Oduya"He photographed everything before he touched a thing and took moisture readings every single day, then handed the whole file to the adjuster. Our claim went through without one argument."
- Roosevelt Dandridge"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."
