Pheasant Ridge is the part of Blaine most people outside the city know without knowing its name: the corporate campus off Pheasant Ridge Drive where Aveda has made hair and skin products since the 1980s, with the Rice Creek Watershed District's offices down the same road. The houses around it are 1980s and 1990s two-stories and split-entries on curving streets, with poured or block basements, sump pits, and lower levels finished in the years since. It was one of the first stretches of Blaine north of the old town to fill in.
A house from 1988 is at the age where the original drain tile has silted, the second pump is wearing out, and the water heater has been replaced once already. That is a lot of water in one mechanical room over thirty-five years.
This site puts Pheasant Ridge homeowners through by phone to an independent local water damage provider. The provider meters the lower level before deciding what opens.
Groundwater through a cold joint during a thaw is a basement flooding cleanup. A pit that overflowed when the discharge froze on an April night is a sump pump failure cleanup. A tank that gave out at the seam in the mechanical room is a water heater leak cleanup, and the crew follows the water under the door into the finished side.
Aveda is one of Blaine's largest employers, with about 700 people at the Pheasant Ridge campus, and the neighborhood around it empties out for work trips and winter vacations like any other. A house in this neighborhood that is empty for a January work trip is the classic frozen-pipe case: shut the main and open a faucet before you go. A rebuild on the lower level needs a permit from Blaine's building inspection desk.
Call (763) 297-2728 and tell us what the mechanical room and the finished side look like. An independent local water damage provider serving Pheasant Ridge takes it from there.
Groundwater or storm runoff pumped out of a Blaine basement, then the carpet pad, paneling, and block walls metered to find what stayed wet.
Cleanup after the pump quit during a snowmelt or lost power in a thunderstorm, and drying of the floor and walls the pit overflow reached.
Standing water pulled off concrete, carpet, and tile on any level of the house, followed by the first moisture readings on the walls.
Air movers and dehumidifiers run against daily readings until the slab, studs, and drywall come back to dry numbers in a closed-up Minnesota house.
Cleanup after a supply line froze in a rim joist, garage wall, or cold corner during a deep freeze and split, then drying of what the thaw soaked.
Wet attic insulation, ceilings, and exterior walls dried after an ice dam at the eave or a storm-torn roof let water into the house.
A tank that let go in the utility room, the water it spread across the basement floor, and the walls it reached pumped out and dried.
Contaminated water that came up a floor drain or basement fixture removed, the porous materials it touched taken out, and the slab cleaned and dried.
