Water Damage Restoration in Shakopee, MN

Shakopee was incorporated in 1857 and is the seat of Scott County, an old river town on the south bank of the Minnesota that stayed under 12,000 people until 1990. Then Highway 169 was realigned across the new Bloomington Ferry Bridge in 1996, and the city more than tripled to nearly 44,000 by 2020. The result is two Shakopees: the 1880s and 1920s houses downtown near the river at about 830 feet, and the 2000s two-stories and walkouts spreading south across the bluff.

Downtown Shakopee sits close to the river, and the Minnesota has flooded it more than once. The newer neighborhoods are high and dry from the river but built around constructed ponds that rise in a summer storm.

This site puts Shakopee homeowners through by phone to an independent local water damage provider. The provider meters the house before the scope is set.

Shakopee water damage in the old town and the new

A 1920s basement downtown that took water up the floor drain in a downpour is a basement flooding cleanup. A 2005 walkout on the bluff whose pump quit in a storm is a sump pump failure cleanup. A washer on the lower level that flooded the family room is a washing machine overflow cleanup.

The county seat on the river

Scott County keeps its government center downtown on Fourth Avenue, and rebuild permits for a house in town go through the City of Shakopee. Just east of downtown, The Landing keeps a row of 1800s buildings on the riverbank, laid out as a timeline of how settlers here built and lived, and its trails show how close the river runs to the old streets.

Call (651) 433-7589 and say whether the house is downtown or on the bluff. An independent local water damage provider serving Shakopee takes it from there.
