Water damage restoration in a Minneapolis home

Water Damage

Frozen pipe bursts during arctic outbreaks, ice dam meltwater through attics and ceilings, basement seepage during spring thaw and heavy summer storms. We extract, dry with industrial equipment, and monitor moisture daily until the structure reads dry.

Wildfire and smoke damage restoration

Wildfire & Smoke

Soot removal, HVAC decontamination, odor treatment, full rebuild. From kitchen fires to smoke drift from Canadian wildfires like the 2021 and 2023 events that blanketed the Twin Cities, we handle the aftermath.

Mold remediation and air quality testing

Mold Remediation

Ice dam meltwater trapped in attics and exterior walls, finished basement humidity, and crawl space condensation create mold problems most Twin Cities homeowners don't notice until it has spread. We test, contain, remove, and clear the air following IICRC standards.

Wind and storm damage restoration

Wind & Storm

Emergency tarping, board-up, full structural restoration for roofs, siding, and windows damaged by severe thunderstorms, hailstorms, heavy snow loads, and the occasional tornado.

"Pipe burst in an exterior wall during one of those January cold stretches. Woke up to water coming through the kitchen ceiling and running down the cabinets. Called Minnesota Water and Fire and a crew was at the house within an hour. Extracted, pulled the wet drywall and a section of the kitchen floor, set commercial drying through the whole first level. Five days before everything read dry. The foreman walked through what they were checking every morning. Liberty Mutual paid the report without questions."

"Kitchen fire got into the cabinets before the fire department could shut it down. Smoke filled the whole house and the smell stayed for days. Called Minnesota Water and Fire and they came out the next morning. Tested the air, cleaned the ducts, sealed every surface in the kitchen and adjoining rooms, ran scrubbers for about a week. The kitchen got a full rebuild after. They came back to retest the air a week after equipment came out. State Farm handled most of the cost."

"Finished basement always smelled musty in July and August but I figured it was just an old house thing. Pulled a section of drywall to run a new outlet and saw mold along the bottom plate. Called Minnesota Water and Fire. They put containment up, ran scrubbers, took out the affected drywall and insulation, retested the air before we sealed it back up. They walked through what to do with a finished basement in the Twin Cities going forward. Nationwide covered the work."

Common Questions

Common questions,
answered.

What should I do immediately after water damage in my home?
Shut off the water source if you can reach it safely, then call a restoration company. Every hour water sits, it migrates deeper into walls, subfloors, and insulation. Do not attempt to use household fans or shop vacs on standing water, as improper drying can accelerate mold growth. A professional crew will extract the water, set commercial drying equipment, and begin moisture monitoring the same day.
How much does water damage restoration cost in Minneapolis?
Costs vary based on the size of the affected area, the type of damage, and how long water or contaminants have been present. A small kitchen leak might run $2,000 to $5,000. A full floor flood with mold remediation can exceed $15,000. Most homeowner's insurance policies cover sudden water damage. We provide a free on-site inspection and a written scope of work before anything starts, so you always know what to expect.
Does homeowners insurance cover water damage?
Most standard homeowners policies cover sudden and accidental water damage, such as a burst pipe or appliance failure. Gradual damage like a slow leak that went unnoticed for months may not be covered. Flood damage from natural events requires a separate flood insurance policy. We document every job thoroughly for your carrier and can help you understand your coverage before work begins.
How long does water damage restoration take?
Most residential water damage jobs take 3 to 7 days for drying and mitigation. Larger jobs or those involving mold remediation can take 2 to 4 weeks. Reconstruction and cosmetic repairs add additional time depending on scope. We provide a timeline estimate after the initial inspection and keep you updated daily throughout the process.
Does Minneapolis's cold climate cause mold in homes?
Yes. Twin Cities winters are dry on average, but mold develops wherever moisture is trapped. Ice dam meltwater pushed into attic insulation and exterior wall cavities, finished basements with poor ventilation, and crawl space condensation during freeze-thaw cycles are the most common sources. Humid summers also drive moisture into older South Minneapolis and St. Paul housing stock. If you notice a musty smell or visible discoloration, have the area tested before it spreads. Early detection reduces both the scope of work and the cost of remediation.
Do I need to leave my home during restoration?
In most cases, no. Standard water damage drying and minor mold remediation can be completed while you stay in the home. If the damage is extensive, involves contaminated water, or requires large scale mold containment, we may recommend temporary relocation for your safety. We will let you know before any work begins whether staying is an option.
