Saint Paul neighborhoods built before 1940, such as Summit Hill and the East Side, rely on stone and clay-tile basement walls that let groundwater seep straight through during heavy rain.
Older sections of the city still use combined storm and sanitary sewers, so floodwater often carries sewage that demands specialized extraction and sanitization.
Our Minneapolis crew reaches Saint Paul quickly on I-94 and I-35E to restore homes in Highland Park, Macalester-Groveland, and Payne-Phalen after any weather event.
