Damage Restoration & Mold Remediation in Stillwater, MN | Paul Davis of White Bear Lake

Common signs include water stains on ceilings or walls, peeling paint or wallpaper, musty odors, and warped floors. After ice dams in winter or monsoon rains, check your attic and basement for damp insulation or pooled water. If you notice unexplained moisture near windows or exterior walls, it could indicate a roof leak or ice dam backup. Paul Davis of White Bear Lake offers free inspections to identify hidden water damage and prevent mold growth.

We recommend calling immediately—within 24 hours if possible. Standing water from monsoon rains or ice dams can quickly seep into drywall, flooring, and insulation, leading to structural damage and mold within 48 hours. Our team in Stillwater provides emergency water extraction 24/7, using industrial pumps and vacuums to remove water fast. The sooner you act, the less damage and cost you face.

Often yes. Our mold remediation process starts with containment and HEPA vacuuming. For surface mold, we can clean and disinfect without removing drywall. However, if water damage from a roof leak or ice dam has soaked into the wall cavity, we may need to cut out affected sections to treat the interior. We work carefully with older homes—many near the Stillwater Historic District—to preserve original materials whenever possible while ensuring the mold is fully removed.
