Why Alief Homeowners Choose Wade’s Restoration of Houston
Wade Ferris started this company in 2007 because he got tired of watching national outfits send a salesperson with a clipboard to quote one number, then a crew with a different number showed up at the door. That doesn’t happen here. Wade’s name is on the truck. His address is published. He’s going to run into you again at the grocery store, and that’s the oldest accountability mechanism there is.
Alief homeowners in neighborhoods like Bellaire West and Sharpstown Country Club Terrace have called us for water extraction, mold remediation, and fire cleanup, and the review count and strong local reputation back up what we say. Every technician who walks through your door is background-checked, uniformed, and trained on professional-grade equipment. We hold IICRC certifications and maintain an RIA affiliation. And on every water, fire, and mold restoration job, we put the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if it’s not done right, Wade makes it right.
Damage Restoration Services We Offer in Alief
Water Damage Restoration
A burst supply line under a Alief slab can saturate rooms before you notice the carpet’s wet. We run extraction fast, pull daily moisture readings, and dry walls and flooring down to a documented standard, not a guess.

Mold Remediation
Harris County humidity gives mold a head start. We contain the affected area, remove contaminated material, treat surfaces, and document the entire process so you can show your adjuster exactly what was done and why.

Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration
Smoke gets into everything: ducts, closets, the back of drawers. We handle soot removal, odor cleanup, structural repairs, and the detailed odor-neutralizing work a kitchen fire leaves behind.

Storm & Disaster Restoration
When a storm drops more rain than Alief’s flat drainage can move, we get roofs tarped, water extracted, and interiors drying. Fast response keeps damage from turning into a mold problem.
Sewage Cleanup
Category 3 water is a health hazard, not a DIY project. Wade’s crew handles sewage backups and overflows with full containment, disinfection, and disposal, and we leave you a written scope of work before anything starts.
Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup
We do this work quietly and carefully, with proper containment, disposal, and documentation. No homeowner should have to handle biohazard materials themselves, and no one in Alief should have to explain the paperwork alone to an adjuster.
Reconstruction & Cleanup
After mitigation comes rebuilding: drywall, flooring, paint, and trim. We scope it, price it in writing, and schedule it like a proper remodel. No same-day promises on reconstruction; this work is done right, not fast.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Alief
We work across the 77411 ZIP and the surrounding Alief area every week. When you call, Wade’s headed your way from the Houston office, and he’s typically on the road within the hour. That’s the same response whether you’re near Alief Community Park, the Alief ISD complex off High Star Drive, or down by Bissonnet.

Why Alief’s Climate & Housing Affect Damage Restoration
Alief sits directly downstream of Addicks Reservoir. During Hurricane Harvey in 2017, thousands of homes in the 77411 ZIP code flooded not because they sat in a mapped flood zone, but because the reservoir released water through neighborhoods that had never expected it. Many of those homeowners carried no flood insurance, and they faced six-figure restoration bills out of pocket. That reality still defines damage restoration in Alief: the next major flood may not wait for a FEMA designation.
The housing stock makes drying harder, too. Alief developed heavily in the 1970s and 1980s as slab-on-grade, brick-veneer ranch homes and garden-style apartments. There’s no crawlspace. Water that gets in saturates drywall from the bottom up and traps moisture under flooring with zero air access for drying equipment. Add Houston Black Clay, the expansive Vertisol soil under much of Alief, and you get a failure mode Harvey crews learned to spot: moisture wicking upward through hairline slab cracks from saturated clay beneath, causing secondary mold outbreaks two to four weeks after the visible water was gone. We map moisture daily, including beneath slabs where we can, because we’ve seen what a missed reading in Alief costs a homeowner.

FAQs About Damage Restoration in Alief
Wade answers his own phone and can usually have extraction equipment running inside the hour for Alief calls in the 77411 ZIP. If you’re in a nearby neighborhood, expect the same; if he can’t get to you quickly, he’ll say so and tell you who can. Call (888) 534-8116.
It depends on the source and your policy. Sudden and accidental events like a burst pipe are often covered. Flood from reservoir releases or storm surge typically is not, unless you carry a separate flood policy. We photo-document everything and talk directly to your adjuster so you’re not the one relaying information between two sides. Call (888) 534-8116 and we’ll help you sort out what’s covered.
In Alief’s humidity, visible mold on drywall usually means it’s inside the wall cavity too. Bleach on the surface won’t touch it. We test, contain, remove, and document, and we’ll give you a written scope before we start. If it’s a small enough spot that cleaning makes sense, Wade will say so, and he won’t charge you for the second opinion.
Every water, fire, and mold restoration job comes with the promise in writing. If something isn’t done right within 90 days, Wade makes it right. One call brings him back. No arguing with a call center.
Yes. Sewage backup and biohazard cleanup require containment, proper disposal, and disinfection. Wade’s crew is trained and equipped for both, and we handle the documentation your insurance adjuster will need. Call (888) 534-8116 for a free estimate.

What Alief 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."
