Basement Water Removal Rooted in Fargo
Pete Jensen founded Fargo Basement Recovery after years of seeing how heavy spring snowmelt and sudden thunderstorms push water into basements across Cass County. Operating from 1706 Main Ave in Fargo, he built the company to handle the specific challenges of older homes in neighborhoods like Hawthorne and Northport where clay soils and aging foundations meet the Red River's seasonal rises.
The team focuses on Flooded Basement Cleanup that matches Fargo's weather patterns, from blizzard runoff in winter to severe summer storms that overwhelm drainage near the Fargodome and West Acres. Pete keeps the work owner-operated so every job in Downtown Fargo or Prairie Rose gets direct attention rather than being handed off to crews from Bismarck or Grand Forks.

1. Initial Contact and Dispatch
Call during our hours of Monday through Friday 8am to 6pm or Saturday 9am to 2pm and we dispatch from 1706 Main Ave in Fargo to reach homes in neighborhoods like North Fargo, South Fargo or Hawthorne after heavy snow melt or severe thunderstorms common in Cass County.
2. On-Site Assessment
We inspect the flooded basement for water depth and sources such as Red River backups or storm runoff affecting properties near Island Park, the Fargodome or North Dakota State Capitol grounds while noting older housing stock in Downtown Fargo that often has porous foundations.
3. Water Extraction and Removal
Pumps and vacuums pull standing water from basements in areas like West Acres, Woodhaven or Prairie Rose, with extra care for silt left by Red River flooding that differs from quicker drainage seen in Grand Forks or Bismarck properties.
4. Drying, Cleanup and Prevention Advice
Industrial dryers and dehumidifiers address moisture in warm summer months or lingering cold from blizzards, followed by removal of affected materials and guidance on sealing to handle Northport's typical spring thaw patterns.

“Spring runoff from the Red River pushed water through a hairline crack in my foundation wall on the east side. Fargo Basement Recovery pumped out the standing water, injected epoxy into the crack, and set up a temporary dehumidifier. The floor stayed dry through the next two rain events.”
“A frozen downspout caused water to back up against my south foundation during the January thaw. They excavated a small section, installed a French drain stub, and regraded the soil away from the house. No more pooling shows up after heavy snowmelt.”
“My basement window well filled during a June thunderstorm and water seeped under the sill. The crew removed the water, replaced the deteriorated well liner with a deeper one, and added a battery backup to the existing sump. The carpet stayed dry even after the July storms.”
