Bass Lake straddles the Maple Grove and Plymouth line on the city's south side, and Bass Lake Road, which runs east from it across the whole city to Brooklyn Park, takes its name. The Maple Grove side of the lake was built out in the 1980s and 1990s as two-stories on wooded lots, with some 1970s lake homes on the shore itself. Bass Creek leaves the lake heading east toward Shingle Creek, and the low ground along the creek was wetland before the subdivisions came.
A house between a lake and a creek sits on wet ground. Basements along Bass Creek have footing tile that runs from the first thaw until the ground firms up in late spring, and the pumps work hardest in the weeks when the snow goes fast. The 1990s two-stories here have complicated roofs, and the dormers on the south side are where the ice dams build in a heavy snow year like 2022–23.
This site puts Bass Lake homeowners through by phone to an independent local water damage provider. The provider meters the basement and the attic before writing anything down.
A lower level that took water along the creek-side wall is a basement flooding cleanup. A dormer that sent meltwater down a bedroom wall in February is an ice dam water damage job. A pump that could not keep up with the melt is a sump pump failure cleanup, and the crew looks at the discharge line for ice.
Because the lake sits on the city line, the house across the water may be in Plymouth and under a different inspections desk; a Maple Grove address gets its rebuild permits from the City of Maple Grove. The Hennepin History Museum in Minneapolis keeps the county's old survey maps, which show the marsh that Bass Creek ran through before the lots along it were drained and platted.
Call (763) 314-1771 and describe the wet room. An independent local water damage provider serving Bass Lake takes it from there.
Water pumped out of a finished lower level under a Maple Grove two-story, then pad, drywall, and the bottom plate metered to see what stayed wet.
Cleanup after the pump lost power in a thunderstorm or drowned in the March thaw, plus drying of the floor and walls the pit overflow reached.
Cleanup after a supply line froze above the garage, in a rim joist, or behind a kitchen sink and let go when the cold broke.
Attic insulation, upstairs ceilings, and exterior walls dried after an ice dam at the eave pushed meltwater under the shingles.
Air movers and dehumidifiers set by daily readings until joists, studs, subfloor, and drywall come back to dry in a closed-up Minnesota house.
The source traced for a damp spot, a high water bill, or a stain with no obvious leak, before any wall or floor in the house gets opened.
A sagging or stained ceiling below an upstairs bath or laundry dried, opened where the readings say so, and made ready for the rebuild.
Contaminated water from a floor drain or a backed-up main line removed from a basement, with the materials it touched taken out and the slab cleaned.
