Water Damage Restoration in Lexington, MN

Lexington is the smallest city on this site, about seven tenths of a square mile between Blaine, Circle Pines, and Lino Lakes, incorporated in 1950 and home to about 2,200 people at the last census. It sits entirely on the Anoka Sand Plain and is as flat as any town in the metro. The housing is 1950s and 1960s ramblers and small two-stories along Lake Drive and Lexington Avenue, with block basements built before sump pits were standard, plus a run of townhomes and apartments added in the last twenty years that have put the population up by a third.

Flat ground on sand means water has no direction to go. After a stalled storm it sits in the yard and the street until it soaks in, and it soaks in toward the nearest footing.

This site puts Lexington homeowners through by phone to an independent local water damage provider. The provider takes readings on every wall before the scope is written down.

Lexington water damage on the flattest ground in the county

Groundwater through the block during a thaw is a basement flooding cleanup, and every wall gets metered because water on flat ground reaches every wall. A pit that overflowed when the pump quit is a sump pump failure cleanup. A floor drain that backed up in a surcharged storm is a sewer backup cleanup, and the carpet it touched leaves.

A city hall of its own and a shared school district

The City of Lexington keeps its own city hall and permit process despite its size, so a basement rebuild here is permitted in Lexington, not Blaine. The town sends its students to the Centennial School District, which also serves Circle Pines, Centerville, Lino Lakes, and the east side of Blaine, and a finished basement bedroom in that district gets scoped as living space.

Call (763) 297-2728 and tell us how deep the water is and which walls are wet. An independent local water damage provider serving Lexington takes it from there.
