Water Damage Restoration in Lakeville, MN

Lakeville was platted in 1855 next to what was then Prairie Lake and is now Lake Marion, incorporated as a village in 1878, and became a city in 1967 with fewer than a thousand people. It passed 69,000 by 2020, most of that since 1990, so the housing is mainly 1990s and 2000s two-stories and walkouts on curving streets, with an older core downtown and along the lake. The city sits at about 1,086 feet, the highest ground on this list, on the divide where water runs north to the Minnesota River or south to the Vermillion.

New subdivisions here were graded to drain to constructed ponds, and a walkout lot that backs onto one of those ponds has a lower level a few feet above the pond's high-water line.

This site connects Lakeville homeowners with an independent local water damage provider by phone. The provider meters the lower level and writes the scope from the numbers.

A finished lower level that took water when the pond behind the lot came up in a stalled storm is a basement flooding cleanup. A pump that quit when the power went out is a sump pump failure cleanup. A washer on the lower level that emptied across the family room carpet is a washing machine overflow cleanup.

Lake Marion, the Vermillion, and the permit desk

The old town along the lake and the Dan Patch rail line is the story Downtown Lakeville tells, and it is the part of town with 1900s basements. The south half of the city drains to the Vermillion River, managed by the Vermillion River Watershed Joint Powers Organization, which Dakota and Scott counties formed to handle the river's 372 square miles. Rebuild permits go through the City of Lakeville.
