Afton sits along the St. Croix River in Washington County, where river floodplain exposure drives most basement flooding rather than urban sewer backups.
Winter snow loads and spring melt push groundwater against foundations, while summer storms send river levels into yards and crawl spaces along County Road 21 and MN-95 corridors.
Minneapolis crews reach Afton in under an hour and focus on extraction and drying before river water soaks deeper into slabs and walls.
