M.A. Braun: Lakeland, MN Roofing & Damage Restoration Experts

Freeze-thaw cycles are common here in Lakeland, where temperatures fluctuate above and below freezing. When snow or ice melts during the day, water can seep into small cracks in your commercial roof. At night, that water freezes and expands, widening the cracks and creating leaks. Over time, this can lead to significant water damage, including wet insulation and foundation seepage. Our team at M.A. Braun can inspect your roof for early signs of freeze-thaw damage and recommend a durable solution, such as a roof replacement or targeted repairs.

Common signs of foundation seepage damage include musty odors in your basement or crawl space, visible water stains on walls or floors, peeling paint, and damp insulation. You might also notice cracks in your foundation or a sudden increase in humidity levels. If you suspect seepage, it's crucial to address it quickly to prevent mold growth and structural issues. M.A. Braun can assess the damage and provide restoration services, often starting with roof repairs to ensure water isn't entering from above before tackling the foundation issues.

After a storm, wet insulation loses its thermal efficiency and can become a breeding ground for mold. Our restoration process begins with a thorough inspection to locate all affected areas, including attics and wall cavities. We then remove the saturated insulation, dry the space completely, and check for any underlying roof damage. Once the roof is repaired or replaced as needed, we install new, high-quality insulation. This not only restores your home's comfort and energy efficiency but also prevents long-term moisture issues common in Lakeland's climate.
