Yes — these are among the most common calls we get from Esko and Thomson Township. Septic backups are treated as contaminated water, which means containment, removal of affected materials, sanitizing, and full drying. We handle the cleanup and the documentation for your claim.

Mold usually comes down to hidden moisture rather than location. Around Esko the common causes are damp basements and crawlspaces, sump pump issues, and roof or ice-dam leaks after hard winters. Older homes are especially prone, where layers of remodeling and 'stack effect' air from crawlspaces make hidden moisture a common problem.

Immediately after finding water damage, contact Dryco at (218) 628-6101. If possible, turn off the water source or main water supply. Avoid walking through standing water and using electricity in affected areas. If the water came from a septic backup, keep people and pets away from the area entirely.

Dryco is locally owned and operated, with offices at 5816 Ryan Rd in Duluth and 1017 Cloquet Ave in Cloquet. We are not a franchise. Our team lives and works in this community — the people who answer your call are the same people who show up at your door.

The cost of restoration services in Esko is largely dependent on the type and extent of damage. For most residential water damage issues, restoration costs fall between $1,500 to $10,000. The primary factors that impact the cost are: total affected area (square footage), time, personal property, category of water, and source of loss. Most restoration work is fully or partially covered by homeowners or business insurance. We offer free on-site assessments before any work begins, to take the guess work out of restoration costs.
