Wade’s Restoration in Iowa
Wade’s Restoration brings damage restoration to Iowa homeowners the way it ought to be done: by a guy whose name is on the truck and whose address you can look up before you ever call. Since 2007, Wade Ferris has been cleaning up water, fire, and mold damage across Iowa with a simple rule - treat every house like it’s the one next door, because it usually is. As part of the Wade S Restoration sales & service family, Wade’s carries the same guarantee that started this whole thing back in 1997: the owner’s name is published, the address is real, and the price on the phone matches the price on the invoice. When a pipe bursts at midnight or a chimney fire leaves your living room soaked in soot, you get a live person on the line, 24/7. No voicemail, no answering service, no runaround. Just Wade, or someone who can find him in thirty seconds.
Why Iowa Homeowners Choose Wade’s Restoration
Wade got into this work after seeing the same thing Ward Selby saw - homeowners left holding the bag when a national chain quoted one number, sent a subcontractor in an unmarked van, and vanished when the mold came back. Wade does the opposite. His 90-Day Done Right Promise is stamped in writing on every restoration contract: if it’s not done right, he makes it right. Period. No fine print, no “call the 1-800 number.”
Here’s what that looks like in practice. Wade takes moisture readings every single day during a water job, logs them all, and hands the homeowner the full record when he’s done. Almost nobody in this trade does that, but Wade’s been burned by “dry” walls that weren’t dry, and he figures you deserve to know what actually happened in your own house. He also deals with your insurance adjuster directly, so you’re never stuck playing telephone between two people who aren’t returning your calls. Photo documentation, direct coordination, and a written scope before any work starts - that’s how Wade protects you from the surprise bill.
His technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to IICRC, RIA, and IFA standards. They roll with professional-grade equipment: Dri-Eaz dehumidifiers, Phoenix air scrubbers, Injectidry systems for wall cavities, XPOWER and B-Air movers. Wade’s Restoration in Kentucky - Damage Restoration isn’t renting this stuff by the day from a big-box store. He owns it, maintains it, and knows which machine fits which Iowa basement. When he says “I’ll be there myself,” he means it. His cell number’s not a secret. Ask anyone on your street who’s had him out - Wade lives twenty minutes away from the communities he serves, and he’s going to run into you again at the hardware store or the grain elevator. That’s the oldest accountability mechanism there is, and it’s why he’s still here after 29 years in this business.
Backed by the Locally Family
Every Wade’s Restoration in Kansas - Damage Restoration job in Iowa carries the Locally guarantee: a published owner name, a local address you can drive to, and a license number you can verify before you pick up the phone. The person who answers is the person who shows up, and the price Wade says is the price on the invoice. No dispatch centers, no corporate layers, no “technicians” who clock in from three counties over. The name Locally comes from the only question our customers actually ask - “Are you actually local?” - and Wade’s answer is yes, in the most verifiable way possible. He’s been serving Iowa since 2007, and the Locally family has been standing behind owner-operated businesses like his since 1997. When you call Wade, you’re not buying a brand. You’re hiring a neighbor who puts his name on the work.
