Water Damage Restoration in Ham Lake, MN
Ham Lake covers 36 square miles northeast of Anoka with no downtown to speak of, a city since 1974 that describes itself as country living. The houses are 1970s ramblers and split-entries on two-and-a-half-acre lots along the county roads, 1990s and 2000s two-stories on larger lots, and hobby farms, nearly all on private wells and septic systems and nearly all over full basements with sump pits. The ground is Anoka Sand Plain shading into peat and wetland, with Ham Lake itself and Coon Creek draining slowly south.
Peat and wetland mean a high water table that barely drops in a wet year, and a septic system that floods when the ground saturates sends water back toward the house. Well water heavy in iron rusts out water heaters early. A discharge line that runs across a big lot to a ditch freezes solid in March.
This site puts Ham Lake homeowners through by phone to an independent local water damage provider. Readings come before demolition.
Ham Lake water damage on a two-and-a-half-acre lot
A pit that could not keep up with a wet spring on peat ground is a sump pump failure cleanup. A tank on iron-heavy well water that rusted through is a water heater leak cleanup. A finished lower level with water around the base of the walls is a basement flooding cleanup.

Rebuild permits go through the City of Ham Lake. The Coon Creek Watershed District, which manages flooding and drainage across central Anoka County, keeps its office in Ham Lake, and its ditch system is what carries the city's surface water south toward the Mississippi.
Call (763) 363-6050 and say whether the house is on a well and which level is wet. We put you through to an independent local water damage provider serving Ham Lake.
Services Available in Ham Lake
Basement Flooding Cleanup
Water pumped out of a full basement under a 1960s rambler or split-level, then the block walls, carpet pad, and paneling metered for what stayed wet.
Sump Pump Failure Cleanup
Cleanup after the pump quit in a spring thaw or a summer storm, and drying of the floor and the bottom of the walls the pit overflow reached.
Water Extraction
Standing water pulled off concrete, carpet, and tile on any level of the house, with moisture readings taken as soon as the floor is clear.
Frozen Pipe Cleanup
Cleanup after a supply line froze in a rim joist, a garage wall, or a cold corner of the basement in January and split when the thaw came.
Structural Drying
Air movers and dehumidifiers run against daily readings until the block, framing, and drywall in a cold Minnesota basement reach their dry target.
Ice Dam and Roof Leak Water Damage
Wet attic insulation, ceilings, and exterior walls dried after an ice dam backed meltwater under the shingles or a storm tore the roof open.
Water Heater Leak Cleanup
The tank in the utility corner let go and the basement floor, the nearest finished wall, and the boxes along it are wet and need to be pumped and dried.
Sewer Backup Cleanup
Contaminated water that came up the floor drain during a river crest or a heavy rain removed, with the carpet and drywall it touched cut out and the floor cleaned.
