Water Damage Restoration in Oakdale, MN

Oakdale is the suburb just north of Woodbury across Interstate 94, a township that became a city in the 1970s and filled in with ramblers, split-entries, and two-stories from the 1960s through the 1990s. The houses are a generation older than Woodbury's on average, and the lower levels were finished a generation earlier, with the paneling and the glued-down carpet to prove it. Tanners Lake on the south end and the chain of wetlands along Highway 5 mark where the water sits.

Oakdale is also where the east-metro PFAS story started. 3M disposed of waste at a site in the city from the 1950s into the 1970s, and the plume from it reached the wells of Oakdale, Lake Elmo, and the towns south of them. That is a drinking-water issue, not a basement one, but it is why people here already know what a well test is.

An Oakdale call to this site is routed to one independent local water damage provider. The provider meters each level before setting a scope.

Oakdale water damage in a 1970s lower level

A split-entry lower level that flooded when the pit quit in a thunderstorm is sump pump failure cleanup, and the paneling comes off so the wall behind it can be read. A rambler with an ice dam on the north eave and a wet bedroom wall is ice dam and roof leak water damage. A ceiling stain under a bathroom that was remodeled in the 1990s is ceiling water damage repair.

The lake on the south end and the district that manages the water

Tanners Lake, the fishing lake on Oakdale's south edge, is the low point that the older neighborhoods drain toward, and the lots along it carry the highest water table in the city. Stormwater and the wetlands along Highway 5 fall under the Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District, which covers Oakdale along with eastern Ramsey County. Rebuild permits go through Oakdale's own city inspections desk.
