Stewart sits in McLeod County on MN-15, a small rural farming community where spring snowmelt and summer storms regularly push water into basements of older farmhouses and homes built on heavier soils.
Crews from Twin Cities Flood Response leave Osseo and reach Stewart via MN-15, bringing extraction and drying equipment suited to properties set back on long rural driveways that can turn soft after heavy rain.
The work focuses on quick water removal and drying before mold sets in, especially in homes where basements sit close to the water table during the wettest months of the year.

Flooded Basement Cleanup in Stewart — Local Notes
- •Many Stewart homes are older farmhouses with stone or concrete foundations that allow seepage when snow melts fast in March and April.
- •Long gravel driveways common on the outskirts require equipment that can handle soft ground after moderate spring rains.
- •Warm summers bring occasional heavy downpours that overwhelm gutters and grading around low-lying rural properties.
- •Moderate precipitation combined with cold winters means the main flooding window runs from late March through early June.
