Water Damage Restoration in Rochester, Minnesota

The Zumbro River and Bear, Cascade, and Silver Creeks all run through town, and after the 1978 flood the city built channels and dams to hold them. Those works handle the river, but heavy rain still raises groundwater around homes in the Slatterly Park and Folwell neighborhoods that sit low near the water.

Many Rochester neighborhoods were built during the growth that followed Mayo Clinic and IBM expansion in the 1960s and 1970s. Those split-levels and ramblers now carry original copper and galvanized lines, aging water heaters, and basements finished long after they were built.

Olmsted County winters regularly drop well below zero, and pipes in exterior walls, unheated garages, and three-season porches are the first to split, usually discovered when the weather warms and the water starts running.

Finished lower levels in Northwest Rochester and Cascade Lake homes where carpet pad, drywall, and built-ins soak up water from a failed sump or water heater. We pull out what cannot be saved and dry the rest in place.

Burst lines in rentals near the downtown medical campus, where tenants and owners both need a clear record of what was wet and how it was dried for the insurance claim.

Sewer backups in older homes near Pill Hill and Kutzky Park, cleaned and disinfected as contaminated water with porous materials removed.
