Damage Restoration Services in Dickinson, TX
When water, fire, or mold gets into your Dickinson home, the clock starts ticking before you’ve even finished processing what happened. In this part of Galveston County, mold can start colonizing a wet wall within 24 to 48 hours, and standing water doesn’t leave on its own. We’re a locally owned restoration company serving Dickinson and the surrounding Bay Area, and we answer the phone around the clock. Call (888) 534-8116 and you’ll talk to a live person, not a call center. Often, Wade Ferris himself picks up.

Why Dickinson Homeowners Choose Wade’s Restoration of Houston
Dickinson isn’t a town where you trust a nameless outfit. You want to know whose truck is in your driveway and whether that person is going to stand behind the work when you run into him at H-E-B on a Saturday. That’s exactly how Wade Ferris has operated since 2007. Wade publishes his name, his address, and his license number, and he answers his own phone. If something isn’t done right on a water, fire, or mold job, the 90-Day Done Right Promise is in writing, and one call brings him back. No arguing, no finger-pointing, no delay.
We work throughout Dickinson, from the neighborhoods off FM 517 near Hughes Road to the streets east of Highway 3 and the subdivisions along Dickinson Avenue. Homeowners near Dickinson High School and out toward I-45 know they can get someone out fast, and they know the work won’t be handed off to a crew nobody’s met. Wade’s crew is background-checked and uniformed, yes, but more importantly, Wade is involved. He’ll tell you that himself.

Why Dickinson’s Climate & Housing Affect Damage Restoration
Dickinson sits flat and low in Galveston County, just inland from Galveston Bay. The humidity is relentless, and the heavy clay soil drains slowly. That means water doesn’t just leave after a storm; it lingers under slabs and against foundation walls, pushing moisture back into the house long after the surface looks dry. We see this constantly. Homes here are mostly 1960s through 1990s slab-on-grade ranch houses, many of which went through Harvey and were rebuilt or elevated with FEMA certificates, and many of which weren’t. On the same street you’ll find a home with flood vents and a raised foundation sitting next to an original slab house with aging drywall that soaks up water like a sponge. The restoration scope is never the same from one house to the next, and anyone who tells you otherwise hasn’t worked in Dickinson.
One thing we run into frequently near the Dickinson Bayou floodplain is the DIY history. Homeowner-installed flood barriers, electrical panels that got moved up and rewired without a permit, sump pumps that were never inspected. These improvised fixes are understandable after what this city went through, but they have to be flagged and documented before we write a scope or you file a claim. If a panel is in the wrong place or a DIY sump is leaking into the slab, the insurance adjuster needs to know, and so do you. We document it all, with photos and notes, and we’ll walk you through what it means. No charge for that assessment.
Pricing for Damage Restoration in Dickinson
Straight answer: water extraction and drying in Dickinson typically runs from $1,800 to $5,000 depending on the size of the affected area and how long the water sat. Mold remediation ranges from $1,500 for a contained closet to $8,000 or more for widespread contamination in ductwork and multiple rooms. Fire damage restoration is harder to estimate without seeing the scene, but most Dickinson jobs land between $3,000 and $25,000 once you factor in cleaning, odor treatment, and rebuild. Sewage cleanup usually starts around $2,500. We always provide a written scope before work begins, and we never charge a trip fee inside our own county.

FAQs About Damage Restoration in Dickinson
In most Dickinson neighborhoods, we can have extraction equipment running within an hour of your call, day or night. Wade answers his own phone, and he doesn’t put you in a queue. Call (888) 534-8116 and someone will be on the road.
Most homeowner policies cover sudden water damage, but mold coverage varies, especially in a flood-prone area like Dickinson where post-Harvey claims history can affect how adjusters respond. We document everything with daily moisture logs and photos, and we deal directly with your adjuster so you’re never relaying information between two sides.
If mold is visible on drywall, insulation, or ductwork, surface cleaning won’t fix it. In Dickinson’s humidity, mold that isn’t properly remediated will return within months. We’ll give you an honest assessment, with moisture readings to back it up, and we’ll tell you if a cleaning is all you actually need. No overselling.
Yes. Older slab-on-grade homes in Dickinson absorb water differently than elevated post-Harvey builds. We account for the original construction, any prior repairs, and whether earlier remediation was done to standard. If we find shortcuts from a previous job, we document them before writing a new scope.
We do. Wade and his team communicate directly with your adjuster, share the daily moisture logs and photos, and make sure the claim reflects what actually happened in your Dickinson home. You’re not stuck as the middleman. Call (888) 534-8116 and we’ll take that off your plate.

What Dickinson Customers Say
"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"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
