Storm Damage Cleanup in Imperial Hills

After a storm in Imperial Hills, we'll cover the opening first and then dry out what got wet.

Where Storm Water Ends Up

Homes near Honey Creek and Sugar Creek can see rising water after heavy rain. With full basements common here, a big storm can bring water in from below as well as through the roof. That makes it a basement flooding job too.

After a storm we can be anywhere in Imperial Hills, from Foxmoor to the roads around Meridian Street and Franciscan Health Indianapolis South. Nearby, we also dry out storm damage in Bayshore and McCarty.

Expert Storm Damage for Imperial Hills Homeowners

Water from a storm keeps doing damage after the rain stops. Wet attic insulation and a ceiling cavity that stays damp give microbial growth the 24 to 48 hours it needs to start, and once it starts the scope changes and the price follows it. Imperial Hills Water Restoration dispatches to storm water losses in Imperial Hills within 2 hours with the extraction and drying equipment to get affected materials back under the moisture content where growth stalls out.

A thermal camera shows where to look, since wet material reads cooler than the dry material around it. The meters then give the actual moisture content. Imperial Hills Water Restoration technicians use the camera to scan the walls and ceilings in your Imperial Hills home, then confirm each cool spot with a pin or pinless meter. Confirmed readings get marked on the surface so the same spots can be read again tomorrow.

Contents get handled before extraction begins. Furniture comes off wet carpet or gets its legs blocked, and rugs and boxes move to dry rooms. Photos are taken of anything that shifts, so there's a record of what sat where. Small valuables and papers stay with you, which keeps wet items from staining the flooring in your Imperial Hills home.

The opening the storm made is the most important photo in a storm file, so the crew takes it on arrival. Imperial Hills Water Restoration documents the opening on your Imperial Hills home, the water path underneath and every wet room, and walks you through the photo report. How your policy treats storm water is between you and your insurance company, so check your policy or ask your agent.

If your basement took on water when the power went out, call Imperial Hills Water Restoration at (765) 436-6771. The pump down and the drying run through one crew, and the readings that show the job is finished go in a file you keep for your Imperial Hills home.

Our Process

How Imperial Hills Water Restoration Handles Storm Damage

We follow these steps in order on every Imperial Hills job.

1

Contents Protection

Furniture legs get blocked off wet flooring and small items move out of the water's reach, with photos taken of anything that shifts. Rugs and boxes in a flooded basement come up off the floor before extraction starts.

2

Water Extraction

Standing water gets pumped and extracted before there's any drying equipment in the room. Hard floors are squeegeed and extracted, saturated carpet pad is pulled, and carpet gets detached to reach the subfloor. Water that came in at grade also gets an antimicrobial treatment once the soaked material is out.

3

Contaminated Material Removal

Porous materials soaked by floodwater, such as carpet and the lower drywall, get cut out and bagged for disposal. Cut heights are photographed and recorded, so the scope and your file show what came out and why.

4

Daily Monitoring

A technician returns every 24 hours while equipment runs, logs moisture content at the same marked locations, and repositions equipment wherever a zone's lagging. Rain during the drying phase triggers a recheck of the stabilized opening and of the materials sitting under it.

5

Final Walkthrough

Once the clearance readings are documented, the equipment comes out and the technician walks the rooms with you. The removed materials and the photo file get reviewed together so you know what repairs come next.

Common Questions

Storm Damage FAQ

Questions Imperial Hills homeowners ask us about storm damage restoration.

Call right away, because water keeps spreading into the carpet and the lower drywall while the power is out, and the call shouldn't wait for the lights. Stay out of standing water if outlets or the panel are anywhere near it. Imperial Hills Water Restoration will talk you through what to do while the crew gets ready for your Imperial Hills basement, including which areas to keep clear.
Yes. Imperial Hills Water Restoration walks the scope with you line by line before demolition, and each line points to a photo or a reading. The scope separates the drying from the repairs that come after, so you can approve each part in writing. If hidden damage turns up later, it comes to you as a change with its own photos before the work goes ahead.
The crew pauses to photograph the cavity and take readings, then shows you what was found. Any added work goes into a written change to the scope that you approve before it starts. Many insurance companies review added damage as a supplement to the original claim, so those photos and readings from your Imperial Hills home matter. Your insurance company decides what's covered.
Imperial Hills Water Restoration works storm water losses to the IICRC S500, Fifth Edition, from 2021. Wet insulation or framing that has started growing mold falls under the IICRC S520, Fourth Edition, from 2024. On your Imperial Hills job, the crew reads the attic and the ceilings every day and compares them with dry materials in your own house.
As soon as it's safe to enter, because mold can begin growing on damp materials within 24 to 48 hours, according to EPA guidance. Water can also worsen in category while it sits, and carpet and the lower drywall take up more of it with each passing hour. Imperial Hills Water Restoration starts extraction and moisture mapping on the first visit to your Imperial Hills basement, so the drying clock begins with the first readings.
It depends on the water and on how fast it was dealt with. Carpet soaked by clean water and extracted early can often be dried and reused, with the pad replaced. Carpet touched by floodwater or contaminated water is usually removed and discarded, along with its pad. Imperial Hills Water Restoration reads the subfloor in your Imperial Hills home before telling you which case applies.
A musty smell usually means moisture is still present somewhere, such as in carpet pad or a wall cavity, even when everything looks dry. The smell itself can't show where it's coming from, so the crew follows it with meters and a thermal camera. Once the wet spot is found and dried, the smell in your Imperial Hills home typically fades as the materials return to baseline.
Skip the roof. Wet decking after a storm is slippery, falls from a roof are a real risk, and a tarp installed wrong can channel water into the house. Imperial Hills Water Restoration crews carry tarp and board up material and dispatch within 2 hours, so the gap's short. What helps from inside is containing the water, with a tote under the drip, towels at the edges and nobody standing under a ceiling that's bulging.
Often they can. Hardwood absorbs water slowly and releases it slowly, so the crew uses drying mats or panels that pull moisture up through the boards while the air above stays dry. Readings on the boards and the subfloor guide the work, and the floor is watched for cupping. Some floors recover completely and some boards have to be replaced, and the numbers in your Imperial Hills home settle which.
Imperial Hills Water Restoration handles the rebuild on Imperial Hills jobs once the cavity reads dry. Insulation goes back to the depth recorded when the wet material came out, ceiling board gets hung, taped, mudded and sanded, and the texture is matched to the existing surface as closely as the material allows. Paint, trim and flooring follow, and the rebuild works from the measurements taken during the drying.
