The city grew from two 1871 settlements, Old Cottage Grove and the Langdon railroad village, into a postwar suburb. The population climbed from 833 in 1950 to more than 13,000 by 1970 as rambler subdivisions went in west of Highway 61, and growth surged again in the 1980s and the 2000s.
That history sets the list. Cinder-block basements under the early ramblers wick water and back up at the floor drain, newer homes in East Ravine carry big finished lower levels on a sump, and the Mississippi reached major flood stage near Grey Cloud Island in June 2024. Minnesota winters add frozen pipes and ice dams. The walkthrough checks the basement, the sump pit and the ceiling below, not just the room where the water showed up.
What gets handled
Water and sewage only: water extraction, basement flooding, sump pump failures, sewage backups, frozen pipes, burst pipes, storm and river flooding, ice dam roof leaks, water heater and appliance leaks, under-floor leaks and structural drying.
The trade standards behind every dry-out
Structural drying
Framing, subfloor, block walls and slab are dried, not just the surface, and readings prove it.
Equipment sized to the room
Class 1 to 4 sets how many air movers and LGR dehumidifiers each room needs.
Category-based decisions
Porous materials touched by Category 3 water come out instead of being dried.
Daily readings
Moisture and psychrometric logs every visit, and equipment stays until the numbers say dry.
