Why Lake Jackson Homeowners Choose Wade’s Restoration of Houston
Wade Ferris founded this company in 2007 and never set out to be the biggest outfit in town. He set out to be the one that shows up, does what he said he’d do, and puts it in writing. In neighborhoods like Oak Forest and Meadowcreek, homeowners have told us the same thing: after Harvey, they watched national crews roll through for a week and disappear, leaving drywall dust in the vents and a box fan in the doorway. That’s not how we work. Wade takes moisture readings every day, hands you the log at the end, and stands behind every water, fire, and mold job with a 90-Day Done Right Promise, in writing. His crews are background-checked, uniformed, and trained on Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, and XPOWER equipment. IICRC-certified work, but more importantly, a real address and a real person who lives with his reputation in the same county he serves.
Damage Restoration Services We Offer in Lake Jackson
Water Damage Restoration
From burst supply lines to floodwater coming up through door thresholds in the 77566 zip code, we extract, dry, and document everything. Our crews carry XPOWER air movers and dehumidifiers sized for Lake Jackson’s high-humidity months.

Mold Remediation
Slab-on-grade ranch homes built between the 1940s and 1960s trap moisture in wall cavities that never fully dry on their own in Gulf Coast air. We contain, remove, and record moisture levels daily so mold doesn’t come back in six months.

Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration
Smoke from a kitchen fire or electrical failure travels through shared attic space quickly in Lake Jackson homes, leaving residue on framing and personal belongings. We handle soot cleanup, odor neutralization, and reconstruction & cleanup in Lake Jackson in one scope.

Storm & Disaster Restoration
When a tropical system pushes rain bands over Brazoria County for 24 hours straight, storm & disaster restoration in Lake Jackson becomes critical as water comes from above and below at the same time. We tarp, board, extract, and stabilize quickly so a roof leak doesn’t become a full interior remediation.
Sewage Cleanup
Backed-up waste lines are a biohazard, not a DIY project. We remove contaminated water and materials, disinfect with hospital-grade products, and verify the affected areas are safe before anyone lives in them again.
Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup
We handle unattended deaths, accidents, and other biohazard & crime scene cleanup in Lake Jackson with discretion and respect. Techs arrive discreetly, work methodically, and leave no trace of the event or the cleanup.
Reconstruction & Cleanup
After the drying is done, people still need walls rebuilt, floors replaced, and kitchens put back together. We scope reconstruction in writing, price it honestly, and schedule it like a remodel, not an emergency patch job.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Lake Jackson
We work throughout the city, with regular calls from the older Dow-era blocks near Oyster Creek and the newer developments further out around Lake Road. Typical response time to most Lake Jackson addresses is within an hour, sometimes less when a crew is already in the area.

Why Lake Jackson’s Climate & Housing Affect Damage Restoration
Lake Jackson sits roughly ten miles inland from the Gulf on flat coastal plain, and the elevation does very little to buffer a storm surge or a slow-moving tropical system. Oyster Creek and the surrounding bayou network mean floodwater doesn’t always come from the direction you expect. Add in the fact that a large portion of the housing stock dates from the Dow Chemical buildout of the 1940s through 1960s, those original slab-on-grade ranch homes with unconditioned attic ductwork hold moisture in ways newer construction doesn’t. When the Brazos River crested in 2017 and inundated Brazoria County for days, neighbors on the same block, in nearly identical floor plans, watched plaster wick water up 18 to 24 inches at the same rate. That’s the kind of damage pattern we’ve come to know well here.
The near-100% relative humidity common from May through September compounds everything. A small roof leak around a vent pipe or a window flashing can raise indoor humidity enough to start mold colonization inside a wall cavity before an adjuster even schedules a visit. In these older homes with original framing and early drywall, that means a minor event becomes a remediation job faster than in other parts of Texas.
Pricing for Damage Restoration in Lake Jackson
Nobody likes the number they hear after a flood, but you deserve an honest one. Water extraction and drying for a single room typically runs $1,200 to $3,000 in Lake Jackson. A full mold remediation job on a bathroom or crawlspace usually lands between $2,500 and $6,000. Fire and smoke cleanup starts around $3,000 and climbs with square footage. These are ballpark figures, not binders. Wade gives free written estimates and never charges a trip fee in his own county. He’ll also honor a free second opinion on any written estimate you’ve already gotten. Senior and veteran discounts are always available.

FAQs About Damage Restoration in Lake Jackson
A crew can usually be at your door within an hour of your call, and extraction equipment running soon after. Wade answers his own phone at night, so if you call at 2 a.m. with water pouring through the ceiling, you’ll talk to a person who can dispatch a crew, not a voicemail tree. Call (888) 534-8116.
Most standard policies cover sudden water damage, like a burst pipe or a failed appliance hose. Floodwater from Oyster Creek or storm surge typically requires a separate flood insurance policy. Wade deals with adjusters directly, photographs everything, and gives the insurance company the documentation they need, so you never have to relive the timeline between two parties. Call us and we’ll walk you through what your policy likely covers.
If mold is visible on drywall in a Lake Jackson home built before 1970, you almost certainly need more than surface cleaning. The humidity here means the moisture source is rarely just on the surface. A professional remediation seals off the area, removes contaminated material, and verifies moisture levels before rebuilding. Guessing wrong means you’re smelling it again next spring.
Wade does. That’s one of the reasons people call him. He documents the damage, provides daily moisture logs, and communicates with the adjuster directly so you don’t become the middleman. If the adjuster pushes back, Wade has the readings and the photos to make the case.
For a single-room extraction and dry-out in the 77566 area, expect roughly $1,200 to $3,200 depending on materials affected and how long the water sat. Sewage jobs and floodwater jobs cost more because they require disinfection and material disposal. Call (888) 534-8116 for a free written estimate and Wade will tell you the truth before any work begins.
Wade’s Restoration of Houston serves Lake Jackson and surrounding communities from a Dallas-Fort Worth dispatch office, with crews stationed locally for fast response. He’s been doing this since 2007, and his name is on the truck.

What Lake Jackson Customers Say
"Same company did the dry out and then the rebuild, so there was no gap where I had to go and find a builder myself with the house half open."
- Barnaby Wexford"He got there fast and the drying was thorough. The rebuild afterwards took longer than I had hoped waiting on matching flooring, and I would rather he had told me that at the start than a fortnight in."
- Antonia Mercado"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
