When a winter storm causes water damage in your home, turn to SERVPRO for effective remediation services. We make it “Like it never even happened.”

Why SERVPRO is the Answer When the Long, Snowy Winter Increases Water Damage Risks in St. Paul

The past few months of winter have been brutal in St. Paul, extreme cold vying with the most massive snowpack in history. When the ground freezes solid from persistent temperatures in the negative digits, the eventual thaw runs into some significant problems. “Runs” is the problematic verb as the water from the melted snow flows overland rather than absorbs into the still-frozen ground near your home. Our experience with excessive snowmelt is why we are ready to answer your call.

When ten-foot drifts begin to melt, and early rains add to the liquid load, water damage in St. Paul is inevitable. As the water skims the surface, it seeks any place to settle and pool. Unfortunately for you that often means it seeps into basements, attached garages, and walkout living spaces. We have the technicians and equipment to remove water and dry out your lower levels fast, explaining why we are the first call for you and your neighbors.

Research, tools, and training underscore why SERVPRO is best positioned to handle the challenges when warmer weather causes rivulets and streams of melted snow to head into your home. Because the ground remains frozen, it is crucial that the trapped water is contained for disposal away from your house. Storm sewers are also frozen over providing no access to an easy way to drain water extracted from your home.

Creating solutions for a never-before-seen circumstance like this year’s Polar Vortex followed by record-smashing snow foot totals is why SERVPRO is a trusted resource in the Twin Cities metro area. We get the water out and then minimize any permanent damage by completely drying out the affected structural components. Our green service trucks carry pumps, extractors, air movers, heaters, and dehumidifiers, ensuring out team begins mitigating your winter water woes immediately after our experienced crew leader assesses the scene and devises the remediation plan.
