Water Damage Restoration in Hanover, MN

Hanover is a small city of about 3,500 on the Crow River northwest of Maple Grove, split down the middle by the river and the Hennepin–Wright county line. German farmers settled it in the 1850s, and the old village on the Hennepin side keeps its 1880s and 1900s frame houses and brick storefronts near the river bridge. Around them are 1970s and 1980s ranches, and since the 2000s the city has added two-stories and villas on former fields on both sides of the river.

The Crow River sets the terms. It runs high every spring with snowmelt from the farm country to the west, and it rose to flood stage across this stretch in June 2014 and again in the spring of 2019. The old houses near the bridge sit in sand that fills with water whenever the river is up, and their stone and block basements weep. The newer subdivisions on the ridge above have deep poured basements with pumps that run all spring.

This site puts Hanover homeowners through by phone to an independent local water damage provider. The provider meters the old wall or the new one the same way.

Hanover water damage above and below the river bluff

A stone or block basement that weeps in a high-river spring is a basement flooding cleanup focused on the wall and the slab. A pump in a 2000s two-story that quit during a storm is a sump pump failure cleanup. An old supply line that froze in an uninsulated wall near the river is a frozen pipe cleanup.

A city hall for two counties

The City of Hanover issues building permits for both the Hennepin and the Wright County sides, so a rebuild anywhere in town goes through the same desk. Crow-Hassan Park Reserve runs along the river just downstream, and its prairie bottomland floods first when the Crow comes up, which gives Hanover's riverside basements a day or two of warning.
