Water Damage Restoration in Cottage Grove, MN

Cottage Grove sits across the Mississippi from Dakota County in Washington County, and it has more land along the river than any other city in Minnesota. It grew from about 13,400 people in 1970 to 38,800 by 2020: 1960s ramblers and split-levels in the older subdivisions on the west side, 1980s and 1990s two-stories in the middle, and 2000s walkouts spreading east and south. The city sits at about 810 feet, and the 3M plant has run on the riverbank since 1947.

The 1960s split-levels on the west side are the same houses as Eagan's, ten years older: a lower level four feet into the ground, a sump pit that was added later, and rubber washer hoses on the lower level.

This site connects Cottage Grove homeowners with an independent local water damage provider by phone. The provider meters the lower level before the scope is set.

Cottage Grove water damage in a 1960s split-level

A lower level that took water when the pump lost power in a thunderstorm is a sump pump failure cleanup. A washer hose that let go on the lower level and flooded the family room is a washing machine overflow cleanup. Once the water is out, structural drying runs until the drywall and the sill plate read dry.

Who manages the storm water east of the river

The South Washington Watershed District manages the ponds, ravines, and storm outlets that carry Cottage Grove's runoff down to the Mississippi, and its projects are the reason some older neighborhoods flood less than they did in the 1980s. Cottage Grove is Washington County, so rebuild permits go through the city's own building inspections desk.
