Damage Restoration Services in New Territory, TX
When Hurricane Harvey pushed the Brazos River over its banks in 2017, New Territory didn’t just get wet. The whole subdivision, built in the 1990s on Fort Bend County’s flat floodplain, took on water in a way that no other kind of neighborhood does. Hundreds of nearly identical brick-veneer homes went under within days of each other. That’s when the difference between a restoration crew that knows New Territory and one that doesn’t becomes impossible to hide.
Wade’s Restoration of Houston has worked those streets. We know the slab-on-grade construction, the carpet-over-concrete floors, the paper-faced drywall that wicks floodwater like a sponge. If you’re dealing with water, mold, fire, or storm damage in the 77487, call (888) 534-8116 and a live person answers. Usually that live person is Wade Ferris himself.

Why New Territory Homeowners Choose Wade’s Restoration of Houston
Most restoration companies are franchises. They send a crew you’ve never met, from a town you couldn’t find on a map, with a quote that tends to grow once the equipment is unloaded. Wade’s Restoration is the opposite. Wade Ferris founded the company in 2007, put his name on the truck, and published his address and license number. You’ll see him at the grocery store on a Saturday. That’s not a marketing line. That’s the oldest accountability mechanism there is.
Homeowners in the Avalon at New Territory and The Grove neighborhoods have called us during the worst nights of their lives. We show up fast, we take moisture readings every single day, and we hand you the full log when the job is done. Almost nobody in this trade does that. The work is backed by our 90-Day Done Right Promise, in writing on every water, fire, and mold restoration job. If it’s not done right, Wade makes it right. One call brings him back.
Our techs are background-checked, uniformed, and trained on Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, and Injectidry equipment. The credentials behind the work are IICRC certification and RIA affiliation. No voicemail, no answering service, no runaround. Just a local owner who answers his own phone.
Damage Restoration Services We Offer in New Territory
Water Damage Restoration
A burst pipe or a Brazos River flood, the first 24 hours decide how much of your home can be saved. In New Territory’s slab-on-grade houses, we start with aggressive moisture mapping under slab edges before anything else, because that’s where hidden water goes. Extraction starts within the hour of your call, not the next business day.
Learn more about our Water Damage Restoration in New Territory.
Mold Remediation
New Territory’s humid subtropical climate means mold can colonize inside wall cavities within 24 to 48 hours of a flood, faster than in drier markets. We don’t just spray and walk away. We contain, remove, dry, and verify with before-and-after moisture readings you get to see.
Learn more about our Mold Remediation in New Territory.
Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration
After a kitchen fire or an electrical event, the smoke works its way into every porous surface in a 1990s-era home faster than people expect. We board up, clean, deodorize, and rebuild. Wade deals with your adjuster directly so you’re not the one relaying information between two sides.

Storm & Disaster Restoration
New Territory sits in Fort Bend County’s floodplain, and when the Brazos rises, the lower streets can stay inundated for days even after the rain stops. We pre-stage dehumidifiers before named storms and show up ready for Storm & Disaster Restoration in New Territory-extract, tarp, and get drying started the moment it’s safe.
Sewage Cleanup
Floodwater in New Territory is never just rainwater. When the river backs up, it brings everything with it. New Territory Sewage Cleanup requires full protective protocols, not a mop and a fan. We treat it as the health hazard it is and document every step.
Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup
These are the calls nobody wants to make and we never rush. We handle our Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup in New Territory with discretion, thoroughness, and respect for the people still living in the home. You get a written scope before work starts, and Wade is the one who answers when you call.
Reconstruction & Cleanup
Once the drying and remediation are done, New Territory Reconstruction & Cleanup begins. We handle drywall, flooring, trim, and paint, all scoped and priced in writing like a proper remodel. No surprise line items. No half-finished punch lists.
Neighborhoods We Serve in New Territory

Why New Territory’s Climate & Housing Affect Damage Restoration
There are two things about New Territory that shape every restoration job we do here. First, the houses. Nearly every home in this subdivision was built in the 1990s with the same materials: brick veneer over wood framing, paper-faced drywall, OSB sheathing, and carpet glued over concrete slabs. Those materials wick and hold floodwater aggressively. A restoration crew that has worked one New Territory house has worked a thousand of them, because the failure points are identical. That means we know exactly where water hides and exactly how long drying should take before we even walk in.
Second, the ground. Fort Bend County’s expansive clay soils shift significantly after prolonged saturation. After a flood, we routinely include foundation crack inspection in the scope alongside drying and remediation because water doesn’t just sit in the walls here. It moves under the slab. The flat Gulf Coast plain means water has nowhere to drain quickly, so lower-lying streets can hold standing water for days. Dehumidifier pre-staging before a named storm and careful moisture mapping under slab edges are not optional extras in New Territory. They’re the job.
Pricing for Damage Restoration in New Territory
Here’s what you can expect, honestly. Water extraction and drying for a single room in a New Territory home generally runs $1,200 to $3,800 depending on affected square footage and how long the water sat. Full mold remediation for a wall cavity or closet typically lands between $800 and $2,500. Fire and smoke restoration starts around $2,000 and scales with the size of the damage and the amount of rebuild required. Sewage cleanup is $1,500 to $5,000 because of the protective protocols and disposal costs.
Every water, fire, and mold restoration job includes our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. And if you already have a written estimate from another company, bring it in. Wade will give you a free second opinion. No charge for that, ever.

FAQs About Damage Restoration in New Territory
Wade answers his own phone, 24/7, and can have extraction running inside the hour for most New Territory addresses. During a neighborhood-wide event like the Brazos River flooding, response time depends on road access, but Wade pre-stages equipment before named storms to be ready. Call (888) 534-8116 and you’ll talk to a live person, not a voicemail.
Most New Territory homeowners policies cover sudden water damage like a burst pipe, but flood damage from the Brazos River requires a separate flood insurance policy. Mold coverage varies widely. We photograph everything, keep daily moisture logs, and deal with your adjuster directly so you don’t have to translate between contractor and insurance company. Wade will walk you through what your policy likely covers before any work is authorized.
In New Territory’s humid climate, if you can see mold or smell it, it’s probably already inside the wall cavities, not just on the surface. Surface cleaning doesn’t reach mold behind paper-faced drywall, and that’s where the real colony lives. We do a full assessment with moisture readings before recommending anything. If a smaller scope is genuinely all you need, that’s what we’ll tell you. No upsell.
Because they were all built within a narrow window in the 1990s using the same slab-on-grade construction and the same materials. Carpet over concrete, paper-faced drywall, OSB sheathing. When one New Territory home floods, we already know where the water is hiding in the house next door. That uniformity makes scoping faster and drying timelines more predictable, but it also means a neighborhood-wide flood strains equipment and labor across the whole area at once.
Wade does. You hired us to fix your house, not to become a project manager between your insurance company and a restoration crew. We provide photo documentation, moisture logs, and direct adjuster coordination on every job. It’s one of the main reasons New Territory homeowners who have been burned by national franchises end up staying with us for the rebuild too.

What New Territory 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
