About FloorTec Restoration

Downtown Yankton still runs on brick, laid down when this was the capital of Dakota Territory, and the same buildings that housed those first legislators now watch over the diagonal parking and the coffee shops that replaced them. FloorTec Restoration spends its summers pulling water out of basements after the river runs high, so it knows exactly what an ice dam does to a hundred-year-old roofline before the first thaw ever shows itself. Snow removal here is less about the fall and more about what the melt will do next: clearing walks and drives before the afternoon sun turns yesterday's snow into tonight's ice sheet on the brick. The crew works the historic blocks with an eye for the parts of a building that can't take standing water, then moves out to the newer neighborhoods where driveways just need a clean pass before school lets out. It's a strange kind of relief, watching a shoveled sidewalk hold its shape through a Dakota cold snap instead of freezing into something worse.
