Water Damage Restoration in Apple Valley, MN

Apple Valley became a city in 1969 with about 8,500 people and grew past 56,000 by 2020, most of that in the 1970s and 1980s when Orrin Thompson and other builders covered the farmland south of Eagan with split-levels, split-entries, and ramblers on quarter-acre lots. The city sits at about 974 feet on the same glacial hills as Eagan, with Cedar Avenue running down the middle and Lebanon Hills Regional Park on its northern edge.

The 1970s split-entry is the Apple Valley house: a short flight of stairs up to the living room, a short flight down to a family room set four feet into the ground, and a sump pit in the utility room corner.

This site connects Apple Valley homeowners with an independent local water damage provider by phone. The provider meters the lower level and writes the scope from the readings.

Apple Valley water damage in a 1970s split-entry

A lower level that took water when the pump lost power in a July storm is a sump pump failure cleanup. A family room that flooded along the back wall when the frost went out in April is a basement flooding cleanup. A pipe that froze in the garage wall and split during a cold snap is a frozen pipe cleanup.

Where Apple Valley's water goes

The south side of the city drains toward the Vermillion River, and the north side toward the lakes in Lebanon Hills. The Minnesota Zoo sits on 485 acres of that same rolling ground on the city's east side, which is a fair picture of what is under most Apple Valley lots: hills, ponds, and clay. Rebuild permits go through the City of Apple Valley's inspections desk, not Eagan's.
