Storm Water Removal and Drying in 55446
Storm Flooded Basement Cleanup
When heavy rain overwhelms a sump or comes through window wells, the pros extract the water and dry the basement framing and finishes.
Emergency Roof Tarping
Tarping keeps the attic and ceilings from getting wet again during the storms that often follow the first one.
Wall Cavity Drying After Storms
When siding is torn or cracked in a storm, rain gets into the wall. The inside is dried while the outside is covered until it can be repaired.
Emergency Board Up Services
Plywood is fastened over broken glass and damaged doors right after the storm. It stays until the window or door can be replaced.
Wind-Driven Rain Drying
When high winds drive rain into a home, water often runs down inside exterior walls. Meters find it, and drywall is opened where needed to dry it.
Signs You Need Storm Damage Restoration
Dripping From Light Fixtures
Water coming through a light or fan means it has pooled above the ceiling. Turn off that circuit and keep people clear.
Water in the Basement
Water on the basement floor or seeping through walls after heavy rain means storm runoff found its way inside.
Ceiling Stains After a Storm
New brown rings or damp spots on the ceiling after high wind or hail mean water is getting through the roof.
Musty Smell After Heavy Rain
A damp smell that was not there before the storm usually means wet insulation, carpet pad or wall cavities.
How Storm Damage Restoration Works in 55446
Step 1: Damage Walkthrough
The pros check every room, the attic and the outside of the house to see where water got in and how far it spread.

Step 3: Remove Soaked Materials

Typical Storm Damage in 55446, Minnesota
Storm Runoff Into Basements
Heavy rain can raise the water around a house and push it through window wells, cracks and floor drains.
Fallen Trees and Limbs
Branches and trees that fall on a house can open the roof or break windows, letting rain straight in.
Power Outages
Storms that knock out power stop pumps and dehumidifiers, so water that gets in stays longer than it otherwise would.
Hail Impact
Hail cracks shingles, skylights and vent caps, opening small gaps that leak during the storms that follow.
