Water Damage Restoration in Coon Rapids, MN
Coon Rapids was farmland along the Mississippi until the postwar boom filled it with ramblers. It became a village in 1952 and a city in 1959, and the bulk of its housing is 1950s and 1960s ramblers and 1970s split-levels on modest lots between Coon Rapids Boulevard and Highway 10, with later two-stories toward the north. Almost every one has a full block basement, a floor drain, and a finished room somebody added in the 1980s. The city sits on the north bank of the Mississippi above the Coon Rapids Dam, and Coon Creek crosses it on the way to the river.
Sixty-year-old block basements take water through the wall in a wet spring, and floor drains tied to old sewer lines back up when the ground is saturated. Sump pits were an afterthought in many of these houses and were added in odd corners with discharge lines that freeze in March.
This site puts Coon Rapids homeowners through by phone to an independent local water damage provider. The provider meters the basement before anything comes down.
Coon Rapids water damage under a 1960 rambler
Water through the block and up the floor drain during a spring crest is a basement flooding cleanup or, if it came from the drain, a sewer backup cleanup. A pump added in 1985 that quit during a storm is a sump pump failure cleanup.
The dam on the river and the city inspections desk
Rebuild permits go through the City of Coon Rapids, which also handles a storm drain backing up at the curb. On the river, Coon Rapids Dam Regional Park wraps the north end of the dam that has held the Mississippi's pool here since 1913, and a walk across it in April shows how much water is moving past the city's basements.

Services Available in Coon Rapids
Basement Flooding Cleanup
Water pumped out of a full basement under a 1960s rambler or split-level, then the block walls, carpet pad, and paneling metered for what stayed wet.
Sump Pump Failure Cleanup
Cleanup after the pump quit in a spring thaw or a summer storm, and drying of the floor and the bottom of the walls the pit overflow reached.
Water Extraction
Standing water pulled off concrete, carpet, and tile on any level of the house, with moisture readings taken as soon as the floor is clear.
Frozen Pipe Cleanup
Cleanup after a supply line froze in a rim joist, a garage wall, or a cold corner of the basement in January and split when the thaw came.
Structural Drying
Air movers and dehumidifiers run against daily readings until the block, framing, and drywall in a cold Minnesota basement reach their dry target.
Ice Dam and Roof Leak Water Damage
Wet attic insulation, ceilings, and exterior walls dried after an ice dam backed meltwater under the shingles or a storm tore the roof open.
Water Heater Leak Cleanup
The tank in the utility corner let go and the basement floor, the nearest finished wall, and the boxes along it are wet and need to be pumped and dried.
Sewer Backup Cleanup
Contaminated water that came up the floor drain during a river crest or a heavy rain removed, with the carpet and drywall it touched cut out and the floor cleaned.
