24/7 Water Damage Restoration in Excelsior

Century-old homes on the lake in Excelsior

Water spreading across your floor is an emergency, and every minute counts. Excelsior has some of the oldest homes we work in, and old homes leak in old ways — original galvanized supply lines, cast-iron drains, and stone or block foundations that were never built to modern moisture standards. Sitting on the south shore of Lake Minnetonka adds a high water table and lakeside lots where groundwater is always a factor. A burst pipe or a wet foundation in a home with plaster walls and original wood floors is a serious problem, because the materials that make these houses special are exactly the ones water ruins fastest. When it happens, we answer live 24/7/365 and dispatch a crew quickly.

What causes water damage in Excelsior homes

• Frozen and burst pipes during deep winter cold snaps
• Aging galvanized supply lines and cast-iron drains giving out
• Foundation and basement seepage in century-old homes near the lake
• Ice dams and snowmelt forcing water under shingles and into ceilings
• Sewer and drain backups pushing contaminated water inside
• Appliance and water-heater leaks from aging connections

How we respond — and protect your claim

The first 24 to 48 hours decide whether a wet floor dries out or turns into a mold problem, so we move immediately. We extract standing water, set professional drying and dehumidification equipment, and monitor moisture until your structure is verified dry — with extra care around the plaster, original wood, and period finishes that make these homes worth restoring rather than gutting. Throughout, we photograph and document the damage and work directly with your adjuster to support your insurance claim. Acting fast matters: lingering moisture behind old walls is exactly what drives mold growth, and getting ahead of it protects both your home and your wallet.
