Rated 4.9 by Sherburne County neighbors
A pipe in our garage wall let go during a January cold snap and water was running into the mudroom by morning. Sherburne Water Restoration had a crew out fast, pulled the water, and dried the wall in place. They handled the insurance photos start to finish.
Danielle K.Big Lake · Feb 2026Snowmelt came up through our basement floor and soaked the carpet on the finished side. Their technicians extracted it the same day and ran air movers until the readings came back dry. Honest about what we could keep and what we could not.
Marcus T.Elk River · Mar 2026Our sump pump quit during a summer storm and the basement filled quick. The crew pumped it out, dried the whole level, and never once pushed us on price. Calm and professional the entire time.

Recent Big Lake water damage jobs
Real local losses our crews handled. Details are illustrative; see our disclaimer.
Frozen pipe split behind a garage wall
A supply line in an unheated garage wall split during a subzero January stretch and ran into the mudroom off the US-10 corridor. Our restoration crew shut the main, extracted the water the same morning, opened and dried the wall cavity and framing with air movers and an LGR dehumidifier over three days, and verified it with moisture meters before we closed it up. We documented the loss for the claim.
Spring snowmelt basement flooding
Frost-thaw and a fast April melt pushed water up through the floor of a finished basement near the Mississippi in Elk River. Our technicians extracted the standing water, pulled soaked carpet pad and the lower drywall, and ran air movers and dehumidifiers on the slab and framing to a verified dry reading over four days, saving the built-ins and most of the finished space.
Ice dam leak through an upstairs ceiling
Snow-load meltwater backed under the shingles of a Zimmerman home and came through an upstairs ceiling at a light fixture. Our restoration team traced the path, dried the attic insulation, ceiling, and wall cavity in place with controlled access, and coordinated the roof repair, saving most of the drywall and the fixture.

Why water damage hits Big Lake homes hard
- Deep-freeze winters. Subzero stretches split supply lines in unheated garages, crawlspaces, rim joists, and cold lake cabins, and a single break can flood a floor while you are away.
- Ice dams on snow-loaded roofs. Meltwater backs up under the shingles and finds its way into attics and ceilings, a signature Minnesota cold-climate loss that is different from a plumbing leak.
- Spring snowmelt and frost thaw. A fast melt over frozen ground raises the water table and pushes water up through basement floors and walls across Sherburne County.
- Lakes, the river, and summer storms. Big Lake, Mitchell Lake, and Eagle Lake ring the city and the Mississippi runs the county's south edge, so storm runoff, sump-pump failures, and river rise all put water where it does not belong.

Water only: extraction, basement flooding, frozen and burst pipes, sump-pump failures, storm and flood cleanup, ice dam water damage, ceiling and roof leaks, water heater and appliance line floods, sewage cleanup, structural drying, and commercial losses.

Yes, 24/7/365. Water damage does not wait for business hours, and neither do we. Call any time and a Big Lake dispatcher picks up.
