Storms here can bring damaging wind. If your insurance company asks for a storm date, NWS Indianapolis keeps a list of past events.

Where Storm Water Ends Up

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. Bargersville runs a storm water hotline for flooding and drainage problems.

After a storm we can be anywhere in Bargersville, including the roads around Kephart Park and Windisch Park. Nearby, we also dry out storm damage in Greenwood, Camby, Trafalgar and Franklin.

Expert Storm Damage for Bargersville Homeowners

Wind pushed rain under the back door, and now the flooring just inside has started lifting at the seams. Water at a threshold runs under the trim and into the subfloor, where it can sit for days after the surface feels dry. Bargersville Water Restoration checks the subfloor and the wall base on storm calls in Bargersville before anything gets replaced.

Storm water work in Bargersville follows the IICRC S500, Fifth Edition, from 2021, and the IICRC S520 applies if wet insulation has started growing mold. Bargersville Water Restoration reads the attic and the ceilings every day and records each reading, so you can see the drying move from the first visit to the last one. The water restoration manager behind these jobs is IICRC certified.

Windows and doors that took wind driven rain get a closer look at the wall base. Baseboard and casing come off in the wet zone, and small holes go in so a camera or probe can see the cavity behind. If the bottom plate and the insulation read wet, ports are cut for drying. If they read dry, the trim goes back on.

Before wet carpet or insulation goes in a dumpster, ask your adjuster whether they want to see it. The crew photographs the material in place and records its type and amount, and a small sample can be set aside if the adjuster asks. Bargersville Water Restoration lays out the removal list for your Bargersville home so that conversation has facts behind it.

The drying can start before the roofer comes. Bargersville Water Restoration dispatches within 2 hours to stabilize the opening and start extraction inside your Bargersville home, then times the ceiling repair for after the cavity reads dry. Call and a technician will come put numbers on what's wet.

Our Process

How Bargersville Water Restoration Handles Storm Damage

We follow these steps in order on every Bargersville job.

1

Storm Call Intake

The first call covers where you see water, whether the power is on, how long it's been coming in and what's already been moved. Those answers decide what gear goes out and what to do before the crew gets there.

2

Power and Safety Check

The crew looks for water near outlets and light fixtures and keeps affected circuits off. Sagging ceilings and slick floors get marked before anyone starts work, and wet electrical gear gets flagged for an electrician.

3

Emergency Stabilization

Tarp, shrink wrap or board up goes over the opening the storm made, photographed before and after. Stopping the ongoing intrusion is what lets the drying numbers hold. Details of the opening get passed to whoever's handling the permanent roof or siding repair.

4

Clearance Verification

Final moisture readings are taken on every affected material at the same marked locations and compared against the unaffected baseline recorded at the start. Equipment comes out once that comparison's documented, containment follows, and the verification sheet goes into your file.

5

Reconstruction and Finish Work

Insulation goes back to the recorded depth, ceiling board gets hung, taped and finished, texture is matched to the existing surface, then paint, trim, flooring and anything else that came out. The rebuild follows the measurements taken during the drying.

Common Questions

Storm Damage FAQ

Questions Bargersville homeowners ask us about storm damage restoration.

Crews dispatch within 2 hours either way, and the work gets sequenced around what's safe. Nobody goes up on a roof in lightning or high wind, so the interior work starts first: extraction, moisture mapping, moving what can be moved, and setting drying equipment where it can run safely. The exterior cover goes on as soon as conditions allow it. Waiting for a clear forecast usually costs more in saturated insulation and ruined ceiling board than it saves, because the water keeps spreading through the assembly the whole time.
The biggest factors are how much insulation got wet, how many rooms the water tracked into, whether it was clean coming in or picked up contamination on the way, and how long it sat before drying started. Of those, timing's the one a homeowner can still affect. A ceiling cavity caught in the first day or two often dries in place, while the same cavity after a week of sitting usually means demolition, disposal and a full rebuild. Equipment days also move the number, and those get set by how wet the materials read.
It depends on your policy, and the adjuster makes the call. Many standard homeowners policies treat sump pump overflow and drain backup as an optional endorsement, so look for water backup coverage on yours or ask your agent. Bargersville Water Restoration records the water line and the damage in your Bargersville basement, and that record is yours to hand to your insurance company.
Aaron Christy founded the company in 2018, and he's still at the head of it. The company holds a BBB A+ rating and has been BBB accredited since 2019. Crews handle storm water calls across central Indiana, including Bargersville, from the tarp over the opening to the ceiling that goes back up, and every job gets a photo report, daily readings and a written scope you approve.
That depends on how wet it got and what had to come out. A basement that dried in place can go back into use once the readings clear and the equipment is gone. One that needed carpet and the lower drywall removed has to wait for repairs before it's fully finished again. The crew tells you where your Bargersville basement stands at each daily visit.
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. Bargersville Water Restoration reads the subfloor in your Bargersville home before telling you which case applies.
Yes. Mold work follows the IICRC S520, and Bargersville Water Restoration handles it along with the drying. The work changes shape: containment under negative air, HEPA filtration running in the space, removal of affected porous material, HEPA vacuuming and antimicrobial treatment of what stays, and post remediation verification before anything gets closed up. Spots on a ceiling after a storm usually mean the cavity above it has been wet a while, so the inspection covers the attic side too.
Keep windows shut while it's raining or humid, because outdoor air can add moisture instead of removing it. Regular household fans can move wet air around and spread dust or contamination if floodwater was involved. Leave the heating or cooling at its normal setting unless the equipment got wet. Bargersville Water Restoration sets up the drying in your Bargersville home so the air movers and dehumidifiers work together.
Deep water comes out with submersible pumps and extractors. The level comes down in stages instead of all at once, because saturated ground outside can push on the foundation walls. Once the standing water is gone, extraction moves to the carpet and floor before any drying equipment goes in. Bargersville Water Restoration photographs each stage in your Bargersville basement.
Solid wood trim often dries and holds its shape if it's removed and dried quickly, and the crew sets it aside labeled for reuse. Swollen composite board, which absorbs water like a sponge, rarely returns to its original size and is usually replaced. The readings and the condition of each piece decide it in your Bargersville home, and the installer gets the list of what stays and what goes.
