Our Story
Restoration Services Grounded in Backus, Serving Minnesota
Mike Olsen started Golden Eagle Restoration from his base in Backus to deliver straightforward damage restoration work across Minnesota. As an owner-operated outfit, the focus stays on clear communication, direct oversight of every project, and results that homeowners can inspect on site rather than relying on promises.
The work accounts for Minnesota's cold winters with heavy snowfall that often leads to ice dams, frozen pipes, and spring melt issues, as well as milder summers that can bring sudden water events. From the Backus location, the crew responds to calls statewide with practical methods shaped by real conditions in Cass County and surrounding regions like those near Walker and Hackensack.

How · it · works
What to expect, start to finish
1. 24-Hour Emergency Contact And Initial Assessment
Call Golden Eagle Restoration any time Monday through Saturday from anywhere in Minnesota. A technician arrives to inspect the damage, noting how heavy snowfall and freeze-thaw cycles common in Cass County often create hidden ice-dam leaks or burst pipes in older homes near Leech Lake, Walker, or Hackensack.
2. Water Extraction And Moisture Mapping
Technicians remove standing water and use moisture meters to trace saturation through floors and walls. In Backus and surrounding areas, they pay extra attention to crawl spaces and basements where spring melt from deep snowpack frequently re-soaks structures.
3. Drying, Monitoring, And Containment
Industrial air movers and dehumidifiers run until readings return to normal. Daily checks continue until the structure is dry, which can take longer in mild-summer humidity or when working on homes built before modern vapor barriers were standard in Cass County.
4. Repairs, Restoration, And Final Walk-Through
Damaged materials are replaced and finishes restored to match existing work. A final inspection confirms the property is returned to pre-loss condition before the crew leaves the site.

Testimonials
What Minnesota Customers Say
“Heavy spring rains pushed water into our crawl space near the Leech Lake outlet. The crew pumped out the standing water the same afternoon and ran industrial dehumidifiers for four days until moisture readings hit normal levels.”
“A kitchen grease fire left soot across our cabinets and ceiling. They wiped every surface with specialized cleaners, removed the lingering smoke smell, and left the house ready for us to move back in after two days.”
“Our water heater burst and soaked the utility room floor and lower wall studs. Golden Eagle Restoration extracted the water, pulled the damaged flooring, dried the framing, and reinstalled new subfloor so the room was usable again within a week.”
