24/7 Water Damage Restoration in St. Paul

Older homes and hard winters in St. Paul

Water damage never waits for business hours, and neither do we — call and you reach a real person 24/7/365. St. Paul has one of the most historic housing stocks in the metro, with roughly 41-42% of homes built before 1940. From the grand homes of Summit Hill to Highland Park and Macalester-Groveland, aging supply lines, original plumbing, and older basements are especially vulnerable. Add Minnesota winters and the risk climbs: frozen and burst pipes, ice dams, sump pump failures, and sewer backups can flood a home in minutes. When that happens, every hour counts — and we are on the way.

What causes water damage in St. Paul homes

• Frozen or burst pipes during deep winter freezes
• Ice dams and rapid snowmelt forcing water under shingles
• Basement seepage and sump pump failure
• Sewer and drain backups
• Appliance and water-heater leaks
• Storm-driven roof and exterior water intrusion

How we respond — and protect your claim

The first 24-48 hours decide whether a wet home dries out cleanly or turns into a mold problem. Our crews move fast: emergency water extraction, professional drying and dehumidification, and ongoing moisture monitoring to confirm walls, floors, and framing are truly dry — not just dry to the touch. We photograph and document every affected area and work directly with your insurance adjuster to support your insurance claim, so nothing gets missed. Acting quickly matters because lingering moisture is what drives mold growth behind walls and under floors.

If your St. Paul home is flooding right now, don’t wait — every minute lets water travel further. Call 612-825-2800 for immediate, around-the-clock water damage response. Since 1977, Ungerman is here to dry out your home, document the loss, and restore what matters.
