The historic flooding that first hit southern Minnesota in June continues in many areas. Premiere Restoration continues to receive calls asking for water damage cleanup and restoration around Mankato, Waterville, and New Ulm.

Spring rains can happen day after day saturating the ground, filling drainage ponds, and backing up drain pipes. Water seeks out the lowest areas and unfortunately, your basement is a likely spot for water to collect. This type of water damage is a common occurrence in Mankato and throughout southern Minnesota.
