Damage Restoration Minnetonka, MN | Acorn Restoration and Recovery

After a sump pump failure, you may notice visible water stains or bubbling on your drywall. The drywall can feel soft or spongy to the touch, and you might see peeling paint or wallpaper. A musty odor often develops within 24 to 48 hours. If the water has soaked into the drywall behind baseboards, you may not see the damage until it begins to crumble or show discoloration. At Acorn Restoration, we inspect for hidden moisture using specialized meters to catch all affected areas.

Yes, a leaky sprinkler system near your foundation can saturate the soil and cause moisture to seep into your crawl space. This leads to damp insulation, mold growth, and even wood rot. Our team first stops the water source and then uses industrial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers to dry the crawl space completely. We also remove any damaged insulation or vapor barriers and apply antimicrobial treatment to prevent future issues.

We start by extracting all standing water and drying the area with high-velocity fans and dehumidifiers. Once the drywall is dry, we cut out any sections that are waterlogged or moldy, typically cutting 12 inches above the water line. Then, we install new drywall, tape, mud, and texture to match your existing walls. Finally, we prime and paint the repaired area so it looks seamless. Our goal is to restore your home quickly while preventing secondary damage like mold.
