Damage Restoration Rogers, MN | Rivers Renovation | Water & Storm Damage

Slab leaks are often caused by shifting soil under the foundation (common in clay-heavy areas around Rogers), aging copper pipes corroding from inside, or poor installation. Signs include a sudden spike in your water bill, warm spots on your concrete floor (if it's a hot water line), or the sound of running water even when all fixtures are off. If you notice any of these, Rivers Renovation can use electronic leak detection equipment to pinpoint the break without jackhammering your entire slab, and then perform targeted water extraction and drying before repairing the slab.

It's crucial to identify the source before starting restoration. Groundwater intrusion usually appears as a damp line along the bottom of walls or water seeping up through cracks in the basement floor, often after prolonged rain. A leaking skylight typically shows water stains on the ceiling or walls directly below the skylight, and the leak might only appear during the rain. Rivers Renovation in Rogers will inspect both your roof and foundation perimeter to determine the source, then extract the water and dry the affected areas. We can also help with temporary tarping of skylights or grading advice to divert future groundwater.

First, ensure your safety: turn off the electricity to the affected area if water is near outlets or appliances. Then, stop the water source if possible (e.g., turn off the main water valve for a burst pipe). Call Rivers Renovation immediately. While waiting, you can move furniture to a dry area if safe to do so. Do not use your household vacuum to remove water or run the HVAC system if it's wet, as this can spread mold. Our Rogers team can arrive within 60 minutes to begin powerful extraction, set up industrial drying equipment, and start the process of restoring your property.
