Why Huntsville Homeowners Choose Wade’s Restoration of Houston
Wade Ferris started this company in 2007 with a simple rule: put your name on the truck, publish your address, and answer your own phone. Nearly three decades in this trade and that hasn’t changed. When you call, you get Wade or someone on his crew who actually works jobs in Huntsville, not a call center reading from a script. Folks in the Elkins Lake and Forest Hills neighborhoods have learned what that means: no bait-and-switch pricing, no crew that disappears after the check clears, and a written 90-Day Done Right Promise on every water, fire, and mold job. If it’s not right, Wade comes back. That’s the whole agreement.
Wade’s crew is background-checked, uniformed, and IICRC-certified. They run Dri-Eaz and Phoenix drying equipment, the same gear the big national franchises use, but with someone accountable standing behind it. Reviews from Huntsville homeowners keep saying the same things: he showed up when he said he would, the bill matched the estimate, and he answered his phone two weeks later when a question came up.
Damage Restoration Services We Offer in Huntsville
Water Damage Restoration
A burst water heater on Avenue O or a slow leak behind a wall in a 1960s ranch can saturate Huntsville framing fast. We extract, dry, and document every step with daily moisture readings you get to keep.
Learn more about our Water Damage Restoration in Huntsville.
Mold Remediation
Huntsville’s shade canopy and humid summers mean mold doesn’t need a flood to take hold, just a little moisture and time. We find the source, contain the affected area, and remove the mold rather than just painting over it. Learn more about our Mold Remediation in Huntsville.
Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration
A kitchen fire or electrical blaze leaves smoke residue in places you can’t see: inside ductwork, behind cabinets, and in attic insulation. We clean what’s salvageable and rebuild what isn’t, coordinating directly with your adjuster so you’re not stuck as the middleman. Learn more about our Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Huntsville.
Storm & Disaster Restoration
When a loblolly pine comes through a roof during a spring storm, the water keeps doing damage long after the tree is gone. We tarp, extract, dry, and start the rebuild so one bad night doesn’t become a six-month ordeal. Learn more about our home restoration team.
Sewage Cleanup
Raw sewage in a home is a health hazard, not a DIY job. We remove contaminated material, sanitize the area, and document everything for your insurance claim.
Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup
These are the calls nobody wants to make. We handle them with discretion, speed, and proper containment, so families aren’t left dealing with what no family should have to clean.
Reconstruction & Cleanup
After the drying is done, the rebuilding starts. We handle drywall, flooring, paint, and trim so you’re not juggling three different contractors after a loss. Learn more about our home restoration team.

Why Huntsville’s Climate & Housing Affect Damage Restoration
Huntsville sits deep in the East Texas Piney Woods, where towering loblolly pines surround virtually every residential neighborhood. That canopy creates a damage pattern most Texas restoration companies never see: catastrophic structural damage from falling pines during severe weather, which is why we offer Storm & Disaster Restoration in Huntsville, combined with year-round moisture problems driven by permanent shade, heavy pine needle debris clogging gutters, and Walker County’s roughly 50 inches of annual rainfall. In neighborhoods like Elkins Lake, that shade keeps roofs and siding damp for days after every storm, and pine needles in gutters rot fascia boards faster than most homeowners realize.
Huntsville’s housing stock makes this worse. The older wood-frame homes near downtown and SHSU, many built in the 1940s through 1970s, were built before modern vapor barriers and attic ventilation standards. Deferred-maintenance student rentals around the university frequently have water intrusion that’s been ignored for years. And manufactured homes scattered throughout rural Walker County are especially vulnerable to wind-driven rain and high-humidity rot. By the time a homeowner calls, damage has usually been quietly spreading for multiple seasons.

FAQs About Damage Restoration in Huntsville
For water extraction, Wade can usually have a crew running within the hour. For non-emergency work like mold assessment, it’s typically same-day or next-day.
Call (888) 534-8116 and tell Wade what you’re seeing. He’ll tell you straight if it needs immediate response or if it can wait.
Most Huntsville homeowner policies cover sudden water damage, fire, and storm damage, but mold remediation is often trickier. Wade deals with your adjuster directly, so you’re not stuck relaying information between two sides.
Bring us your policy and your adjuster’s name, and we’ll handle the documentation. Insurance estimates are always free.
If mold is on non-porous surfaces like tile and glass, cleaning may be enough. If it’s in drywall, carpet, or behind baseboards, remediation is usually necessary, because surface cleaning won’t reach the colony. In Huntsville’s humid climate, mold that’s just cleaned usually comes back.
Wade will give you a straight answer, not an upsell. Call (888) 534-8116 for a free assessment.
It’s the pine canopy and humidity. Gutters fill with pine needles, water backs up against fascia boards, and the moisture wicks into roof decking and wall cavities. With Walker County’s 50 inches of annual rain and weeks of high humidity, that moisture never really dries out.
If you see dark streaks on ceilings near exterior walls or smell a musty odor that doesn’t go away, call us. The sooner we find the source, the smaller the fix.
We do. Wade communicates directly with your insurance adjuster, sends photo documentation from every job, and provides the daily moisture logs your carrier wants to see. You get copied on everything, but you’re never the one stuck in the middle.
That’s the way it should work. Call (888) 534-8116 and we’ll start the process today.

What Huntsville Customers Say
"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."
- Esperanza Villarreal"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
