Water Damage Restoration & General Contractors in Savage, MN | Cornerstone Building and Remodeling

Sewage backup often occurs during heavy rains or tropical storms that overwhelm Savage's municipal sewer systems. When the ground is saturated and storm drains are overloaded, wastewater can flow back into basements through floor drains or toilets. Tree root intrusion into old sewer lines also contributes to blockages. Our team identifies the source, removes contaminated water safely, and restores your home to a sanitary condition.

Even in inland Savage, 'coastal flood damage' refers to flooding from nearby rivers like the Minnesota River or from prolonged heavy rain. Early signs include damp spots on basement walls, a musty odor, or water seeping up through cracks in the floor. You might also notice efflorescence (white, chalky residue) on concrete. If you see these signs, call us immediately—we can extract water and dry the area before mold sets in.

After a tropical storm, we start with a full assessment to determine the extent of water damage. We use industrial pumps and vacuums to remove standing water, then set up high-powered dehumidifiers and air movers to dry the structure. For sewage-contaminated water, we disinfect all affected surfaces. Once everything is dry, we rebuild damaged walls, flooring, and cabinetry. Our goal is to restore your home to its pre-storm condition—or better.
