We'll dry out your home in Woodcreek Crossing after storm water gets in through the roof or the basement.

Storms Here

White Lick Creek has a history of flooding. Storms here can also bring large hail. If your insurance company asks for a storm date, NWS Indianapolis keeps a list of past events.

Where Storm Water Ends Up

Homes near White Lick Creek can see rising water after heavy rain. With finished 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 Woodcreek Crossing, from Wynbrooke to the roads around Washington Township Park and Burnett Woods. We also handle storm damage in The Parks at Prestwick and Mission Hill Lane area.

Expert Storm Damage for Woodcreek Crossing Homeowners

Two ceilings are stained, the hallway smells damp, and you've got no way to tell how far the water went after it came through the roof. That's normal for storm intrusion, because water follows framing and insulation sideways before it ever drops into a room. Woodcreek Crossing Water Restoration maps the whole affected area on Woodcreek Crossing storm losses with thermal imaging and penetrating meters, prices the work from what those readings show, and dispatches a crew within 2 hours.

Winter storms bring their own kind of water damage, from ice dams at the eaves to water that froze in the roof deck and melts all at once. Woodcreek Crossing Water Restoration reads the ceilings and walls under the eaves in your Woodcreek Crossing home after a thaw and dries what's wet before the drywall softens. The readings go in your file each day.

On a basement job the crew studies where the water is coming from before the pumps start. The sump basin gets cleared and checked, and the floor drains get watched for backup. When water is returning quickly, the source gets sorted out first, because a refilling basement can't be dried in your Woodcreek Crossing home.

Write down the timeline while it's fresh, starting with when the storm hit and when you first saw water. If the power went out, the utility's outage notice backs up that time. Woodcreek Crossing Water Restoration adds the readings and photos from your Woodcreek Crossing home to the timeline, and your insurance company decides what it needs from the record.

Floodwater in your basement or garage calls for containment and protective gear, so it's worth a call before anyone wades in. Woodcreek Crossing Water Restoration extracts the water in Woodcreek Crossing and dries the structure afterward, with the soaked porous materials removed and photos at each stage. Call (463) 223-3831 to get a crew started.

Our Process

How Woodcreek Crossing Water Restoration Handles Storm Damage

We follow these steps in order on every Woodcreek Crossing job.

1

Sump and Drain Check

The crew looks at the sump basin and the floor drains to see whether water is still entering or backing up. Anything that needs a plumber or an electrician gets noted, so the basement isn't refilling while the drying runs.

2

Wall Cavity Inspection

Baseboards and window trim come off where readings run high, and small inspection holes show whether the cavity behind them holds water. Windows and doors that took wind driven rain usually leave the wall base wet first.

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

Progress Review With You

Partway through the job the technician walks the rooms with you and compares today's readings to the first day's. You hear which rooms are dry and which are lagging, and changes to the plan get approved before they happen.

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 Woodcreek Crossing 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. Woodcreek Crossing Water Restoration will talk you through what to do while the crew gets ready for your Woodcreek Crossing basement, including which areas to keep clear.
Yes. Woodcreek Crossing 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.
Rain that came through a storm opening and water that rose from the ground outside can fall under different parts of a policy, or under a separate flood policy, so check what you carry or ask your agent. Woodcreek Crossing Water Restoration documents the loss the same way either way on Woodcreek Crossing jobs, with the cause, the readings and the scope, so you have the facts whether a policy is paying or you are.
The S500 describes four classes of water loss based on how much material is wet and how quickly it can give up water. Water from overhead that soaks ceilings, walls, insulation and carpet falls toward the heavier end because so much of the structure is involved. Woodcreek Crossing Water Restoration uses the class to size dehumidification and equipment on storm jobs in Woodcreek Crossing, then adjusts it as the readings change.
Yes. Cold air holds little moisture and slows evaporation, so winter jobs usually need added heat in the drying area. Humid summer air limits how much water the air can absorb, which makes the dehumidifiers carry more of the job. After a stormy week in Woodcreek Crossing, outdoor humidity is often the reason a wall dries more slowly than the day before, and the daily air readings show it.
Yes. Rain can start out clean, but water that soaks through attic insulation or dirty carpet picks up whatever those materials hold, and water that sits for days can move into a worse category. The IICRC S500 treats time and contact as part of the category call. Woodcreek Crossing Water Restoration checks the source and what the water traveled through on each Woodcreek Crossing job, then rechecks as the job runs.
Fiberglass batt and blown in cellulose both hold water against the materials around them, and both lose much of their insulating value when soaked, so removal is the usual call on a storm loss. Blown in cellulose mats down and stays compressed. Batt insulation holds water at the paper facing and won't let the ceiling board underneath dry out. Taking it out also lets the crew see and dry the sheathing and framing, which is where the real structural concern sits. Woodcreek Crossing Water Restoration bags it out, records depth and square footage, and replaces it after clearance.
Lift furniture off wet carpet, or put foil or plastic under the legs so the finish doesn't stain. Leave the carpet itself in place so the crew can read it and photograph it, and avoid walking on it more than needed. Skip the household vacuum, which isn't built for water and adds a shock risk. Woodcreek Crossing Water Restoration decides what to lift and what to remove once the readings are in for your Woodcreek Crossing home.
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 Woodcreek Crossing home settle which.
A roofing contractor does the permanent repair, and Woodcreek Crossing Water Restoration does the temporary cover and all of the interior work. The tarp or board up goes on during the first visit to stop the intrusion, and the details of the opening get documented and passed along. If you don't have a roofer yet, we'll tell you what the opening looks like from the attic side and what the repair has to address. The drying schedule gets built around the repair date, since a cavity can't get final clearance while the envelope is still open.
