Plymouth, Minnesota is one of the Twin Cities metro’s fastest-growing business communities. From the medical office buildings and corporate campuses along Highway 55 to the local retail shops and restaurants near Plymouth Town Square, businesses here work hard to serve their customers and their employees.

Water damage doesn’t care about that. A sprinkler system malfunction, a burst pipe in the middle of the night, a backed-up floor drain — any of these can shut a business down in hours. And every hour the doors are closed, money walks out with it.

Water damage can happen quickly and without warning. Appliance leaks, frozen or broken pipes, roof leaks, sewer backups, storm and flood water, ice and snow buildup, or even water used by the fire department can all cause serious damage in a short amount of time. No matter the source, the first 24 hours are critical. Taking the right steps early can reduce repair costs, prevent mold growth, and protect the structure of your home.

At Ungerman, we have helped Minnesota homeowners recover from water damage for over 45 years. Below is a clear guide on what to do right away and when professional help is necessary.

Winter is one of the most common times for homeowners to experience plumbing emergencies, sewage backups, and contaminated water issues. Cold temperatures, frozen pipes, heavy water use, and aging sewer lines all put added stress on plumbing systems throughout communities like Plymouth, Maple Grove, Minnetonka, Edina, Golden Valley, Waconia, Victoria, and beyond.

When something goes wrong, the result can be more than just water damage. Sewage backups and contaminated water create serious health risks and often require professional biohazard cleanup.

Understanding how these issues are connected, and how preventative steps like drain cleaning help, can reduce the risk of a major emergency.
