Water Damage Restoration in St. Michael, MN

St. Michael is across the Wright County line northwest of Maple Grove, along Interstate 94 and the Crow River, with about 18,000 people. It was a small German Catholic farm town until the 1990s, and then it grew faster than almost any city in the state, adding 2000s and 2010s two-stories on full basements across the former fields along the freeway and the river. The old town center keeps its 1900s houses around the church, and the former Frankfort Township sections to the south are rural lots on wells and septic.

The new houses here are Maple Grove's houses built a decade later: deep poured basements, finished within a few years, complex roofs with dormers and valleys, and bathrooms stacked over kitchens and garages. Their problems are the same, with the Crow River adding a high spring water table along the north edge. The river reached flood stage here in June 2014, and the pits in the lowest basements ran for the whole month.

This site connects St. Michael homeowners by phone with an independent local water damage provider. The provider meters the level before deciding what opens.

A finished lower level that took water in the spring thaw is a basement flooding cleanup. A line that split above the garage in a January cold snap is a frozen pipe cleanup. Meltwater down an inside wall from a dormer eave is an ice dam water damage job.

Across the county line

The City of St. Michael's building department issues the permits for rebuild work, and because the city is in Wright County, the county offices and the watershed rules differ from Hennepin's next door. The St. Michael-Albertville school district grew with the subdivisions, and its buildings sit on the same former farm ground as the houses around them.
