When a pipe bursts, a sump pump fails, or the Mississippi River overflows its banks, every minute counts. Standing water can seep into subfloors within hours, wick up drywall within a day, and foster dangerous mold colonies in as little as 48 hours. That is why homeowners and businesses across Elk River, Otsego, Zimmerman, Big Lake and surrounding Sherburne County communities trust Water Damage Restoration Elk River for rapid, professional help.
Our mission is simple: protect property, limit disruption, and restore normal life as quickly as possible. We accomplish that with a combination of IICRC-certified expertise, commercial-grade extraction gear, and a proven process refined over hundreds of local projects. The moment you call us, our dispatcher pinpoints your address at 10729 165th Ave NW, identifies the fastest crew, and mobilizes a fully stocked response vehicle. Because our technicians live right here in Elk River, average arrival time is under one hour – even during peak flood season.
Upon arrival we identify the water source, classify the water (Category 1 clean, 2 gray, or 3 black), and map moisture migration using infrared cameras and penetrating meters. Our high-capacity truck mounts and portable pumps remove up to 100 gallons per minute, after which centrifugal air movers and low-grain refrigerant dehumidifiers create an engineered drying chamber. Daily readings document progress and satisfy insurance adjusters, saving you paperwork headaches.
Because water rarely travels alone, we also provide targeted microbial remediation. Antimicrobial agents neutralize bacteria; HEPA filtration captures airborne particulates. Where drywall has lost structural integrity, our in-house carpenters remove, replace and seamlessly blend new materials. From the first drop of water to the final coat of paint, you work with one accountable company.
Living in Minnesota means preparing for extremes: spring thaws, summer storms, autumn rains and winter freeze-ups. Our local knowledge lets us anticipate complications such as ice-dam roof leaks, sewer main backups after heavy rain, and crawl-space flooding along the Elk River valley. We routinely coordinate with city inspectors and county emergency management to ensure code compliance and public safety.

Most important, we are on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Disasters rarely respect business hours, and neither do we. If you are facing water in your basement at 2 a.m. on a Sunday, you will speak to a live local specialist, not an answering service.
