Basement Waterproofing Service Areas Around Minneapolis, MN
Requests are accepted from across Minneapolis, MN and from five nearby cities in Hennepin and Anoka counties. Every request lands with one independent local contractor, which contacts you and writes up any estimate. This referral service does no basement work itself.
Areas Covered
The City of Minneapolis is the center of the map, and requests are welcome from every part of it, from Longfellow's 1920s bungalows to the blocks around Lake Nokomis. City building permits come from Minneapolis Development Review (612-673-3000). Backups at City addresses are reported to Sewer Operations at 612-673-5625, the City's 24-hour hotline, or to 311, and the City's rainleader, service-line and stormwater programs apply to City addresses alone.
Richfield, Edina, Golden Valley, Robbinsdale and Fridley are separately incorporated cities, each with its own city government, building inspections office and sanitary sewers, so permits and backup reports go to that city. Four sit in Hennepin County and Fridley in Anoka County. DLI licensing, Minnesota's plumbing law and the Metropolitan Council's advice to keep sump pumps off the sanitary sewer apply on every street.
