AfterDamage Restoration Services in Jamaica, NY
If you’re standing in a flooded basement on 179th Street or watching water seep through the party wall of your brick row house off Hillside Avenue, you need someone who knows Jamaica’s particular brand of trouble. Wade’s Restoration answers the phone at (363) 300-2771, 24 hours a day, and we can usually have extraction running inside the hour. That’s not a corporate promise. That’s Wade Ferris, the owner, picking up his own phone.

Why Jamaica Homeowners Choose Wade’s Restoration
Wade started this company in 2007 because he got tired of watching national franchises overcharge people who were already standing in three inches of water. Here’s the thing about Jamaica: it’s a neighborhood where people check each other’s references. You ask the woman next door who did her remediation after the last sewer backup. You ask the guy at the corner store. Wade runs into you again on Saturday, which is the oldest accountability mechanism there is. That’s how it should work.
His crew has handled flood jobs in South Jamaica, sewage backups in Jamaica Hills, and smoke damage in Brinckerhoff. The calls Wade takes at 2 a.m. are answered by a live person, not a voicemail tree managed from another time zone. Wade shows up himself on most jobs. Not a project manager you’ll never see again. The truck says Wade’s Restoration on the side. The name on the license matches the name on the door.
Working with Wade means three things that don’t happen often in this trade. First, every water, fire, and mold job comes with a 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if it’s not done right, he makes it right, no argument. Second, Wade takes moisture readings every single day of a drying job and hands you the full log at the end. Almost nobody in restoration does that. You should ask the next contractor you call if they will. Third, Wade speaks directly with your insurance adjuster so you don’t have to relay information between two sides that never seem to pick up the phone.
Damage Restoration Services We Offer in Jamaica
Water Damage Restoration
Burst pipes, overflowing washing machines, or the kind of basement flooding Jamaica knows too well after a heavy rain. Wade’s team extracts the water, dries the structure with Dri-Eaz and Phoenix equipment, and documents every moisture reading along the way.
Learn more about our Water Damage Restoration in Jamaica.
Mold Remediation
Jamaica’s shallow water table and older brick housing stock mean mold is a persistent enemy, not a one-time guest. Wade’s crew contains the affected area, removes contaminated material, and treats the source of the moisture so the mold doesn’t come back in six months.

Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration
Old wiring in pre-war row houses, space heaters in basement apartments, a kitchen fire that got out of hand. Wade handles board-up, smoke odor removal, soot cleanup, and the reconstruction work to put your house back together.

Why Jamaica’s Climate & Housing Affect Damage Restoration
Jamaica is built on former marshland, and the land has a long memory. The shallow water table that keeps basements damp even during dry weeks is a direct inheritance from the days when Jamaica Bay came farther inland. This means mold never fully surrenders in Jamaica. It goes quiet, then resurfaces when the next humid stretch or heavy rain arrives. Homeowners here learn to check their foundation walls for efflorescence the way people in drier neighborhoods check their roof shingles.
The housing stock makes it worse. Most of Jamaica’s brick row houses and two-family homes went up between the 1920s and 1950s. Their masonry party walls love to wick water sideways. When one house floods, the neighbor’s wall often shows dampness within a week. That’s not a problem a suburban restoration contractor has to think about. It’s the first thing Wade checks. The freeze-thaw cycles of NYC winters then work on the mortar that the rains already softened, opening hairline cracks that let groundwater in come spring.

FAQs About Damage Restoration in Jamaica
If you call (363) 300-2771, you reach Wade Ferris directly, and he can typically have extraction running inside the hour somewhere in Jamaica. He’s based with his crew in the New York City metro area and works these streets every week. No answering service, no “someone will call you back within 24 business hours.”
Flood insurance covers storm-surge flooding if you carry it through FEMA’s NFIP program, but standard homeowners policies cover burst pipes, sewage backups (with an endorsement), and fire damage. Wade deals with your adjuster directly and hands over photo documentation and moisture logs that make the claim process faster. Call (363) 300-2771 if you need help figuring out what your policy covers.
If the mold patch is smaller than about 10 square feet and on a non-porous surface, you can probably clean it with a household product. Anything larger than that, or anything on drywall, behind baseboards, or in a basement that stays damp, needs professional remediation because the source of moisture is the real problem. In Jamaica’s row houses, mold often hides inside party walls where a homeowner can’t see it.
Sewage contains pathogens that make it a biohazard, not just a water problem. Any affected porous material has to go: drywall, carpet, padding, often the bottom few feet of wall insulation. Wade’s crew works in full PPE and disposes of contaminated material through licensed waste channels. After a sewage backup in Jamaica, your house also may face an NYC Housing Preservation and Development inspection if the affected unit is a basement apartment, especially an informal one.
Yes, Wade gives honest phone estimates based on the scope you describe, but he will tell you if he needs to see the job in person before committing to a number. And if you already have a written estimate from another restoration company, bring it: Wade will give you a free second opinion, no charge for that. Call (363) 300-2771.
If you’ve got water where it shouldn’t be, mold you don’t trust, or fire damage you’re still trying to make sense of, call Wade’s Restoration at (363) 300-2771. The phone rings in Wade’s pocket. He’ll pick up.

What Jamaica Customers Say
"Wade built proper sealed containment before he opened the mold wall and ran a scrubber the whole time. My wife has a lung condition and not once did the air in the rest of the house change."
- Chesterfield Mabry"Excellent emergency response and honest about what could and could not be saved. The equipment ran in the house for six days and the noise was genuinely hard to live with, though he did explain why it had to."
- Grantham Fairweather"He gave me the daily moisture log at the end, on paper, with the readings from every point. I have never had a trade prove the job was actually finished before."
- Rowena Thackeray
