Gaviota Construction | Damage Restoration & General Contractor in Saint Paul, MN

Sewage backups often show visible signs like gurgling drains, foul odors (like rotten eggs), slow drainage, or water backing up in basement floor drains. If you notice these signs, especially after heavy rain or snowmelt in neighborhoods near the Mississippi, call a professional immediately. Sewage water is hazardous and requires specialized cleanup. Gaviota Construction can assess the damage, extract contaminated water, and restore affected drywall and structures.

As soon as you discover a burst pipe, shut off the water and call a restoration company. In Saint Paul's cold winters, pipes in uninsulated areas like basements or crawlspaces can freeze and burst within hours. Delaying cleanup can lead to mold, structural rot, and ruined drywall. Gaviota Construction offers emergency response, water extraction, drying, and drywall repair to get your home back to normal fast.

Snowmelt water damage typically happens in spring when heavy snow melts quickly, especially in areas with poor drainage. The solution is to first stop the water source (like grading soil away from the foundation or installing a sump pump). Then, remove standing water, dry the area thoroughly, and clean or replace affected drywall and insulation. Gaviota Construction handles all phases, from water extraction to drywall repair and restoration, helping your basement recover safely.
