Water Damage Restoration in Thomas Lake, MN

Thomas Lake is the heart of southeast Eagan, a 1980s neighborhood of two-story homes and walkouts built around the lake and the park system that connects it to Lebanon Hills. The lots roll, the trees have grown in, and a lot of the houses have a walkout lower level with sliding doors onto a yard that slopes toward the water. Thomas Lake Park hosts the city's Lakefest each summer, which tells you how much of daily life here happens near the shoreline.

Houses from the 1980s are now forty years old. The original sump pumps are long gone, the rubber washer hoses are on their second or third replacement, and the attic insulation over the upper level has settled enough to let the ice dams start.

This site connects Thomas Lake homeowners with an independent local water damage provider by phone. The provider takes readings first and writes the scope from them.

Thomas Lake water damage, walkout by walkout

A finished walkout that took water along the lake-side wall during the April thaw is a basement flooding cleanup. A ceiling stain under the eaves in February is roof leak and ice dam water damage, and the wet attic insulation above it is usually the bigger part of the job. A washer on the lower level that emptied a drum across the family room carpet is a washing machine overflow cleanup.

Water, ponds, and permits around the lake

Thomas Lake is one of the 34 named lakes Eagan manages inside its storm system, and the ponds between the houses rise with it in a stalled summer storm. City water and sewer serve the whole neighborhood, so the main shutoff is next to the meter in the utility room. A rebuild that touches wiring, plumbing, or framing needs a permit from Eagan's building inspections desk.
