Storm Damage Cleanup in Asherwood

We handle storm damage cleanup across Asherwood, from tarping the opening to drying the house underneath it, and we're out day or night.

Storms Here

Storms here can 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

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 Asherwood, from Village of WestClay to the roads around Coxhall Gardens Park and the Ditch Road corridor. Nearby, we also dry out storm damage in Fishers, Westfield, Zionsville and North Indianapolis.

Expert Storm Damage for Asherwood Homeowners

If wind lifted shingles or opened a seam on your Asherwood roof and there's more rain in the forecast, the opening is the problem to solve before anything else gets dry. Water that keeps coming in resets every reading a drying crew takes. Asherwood Water Restoration stabilizes the entry point with tarp or board up on the first visit, then starts extraction and drying underneath it. Dispatch to Asherwood, IN runs within 2 hours of your call.

The line surface water leaves on a wall records how deep it stood. Asherwood Water Restoration measures the height of that line on each wall in your Asherwood home and photographs it with the tape in the frame. The heights go on a sketch of the floor plan, which shows what the water reached and where.

The first stage on site is a walk through with you. The technician asks where you first saw water and which rooms were affected, then photographs each one before anything moves. That walk also settles where the equipment will stage and which rooms need the most attention, so the work in your Asherwood home starts with a plan.

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. Asherwood Water Restoration lays out the removal list for your Asherwood home so that conversation has facts behind it.

Storm damage calls in Asherwood, IN get answered by Asherwood Water Restoration any day of the week, holidays included. Bring us in while the water's still moving and the scope stays small. The moisture readings come to you in writing.

Our Process

How Asherwood Water Restoration Handles Storm Damage

We follow these steps in order on every Asherwood job.

1

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.

2

Water Source Call

The crew checks where the water came in and what it touched on the way, and photographs the entry point. Floodwater that came in at grade gets containment and protective gear before any work starts.

3

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.

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

Photo Report

Entry point photos, the water path, the daily readings and the itemized scope go into a photo report you keep. The crew walks you through it, and you sign off on the scope in writing before there's any demolition.

Common Questions

Storm Damage FAQ

Questions Asherwood homeowners ask us about storm damage restoration.

The technician starts with a walk through with you: where the water showed up and which rooms it touched. Then the crew photographs the wet areas and takes baseline readings in dry rooms, and the moisture gets mapped with a thermal camera and meters. Extraction and drying equipment goes in after that mapping, so every machine sits where it's needed in your Asherwood home.
Yes. Asherwood 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.
Yes, if it's safe. Take dated wide shots of each wet room and close ups of the stains and any damaged belongings, and leave wet insulation and drywall where they sit. The crew adds moisture readings and a photo report of its own, so your Asherwood file ends up with two views of the loss.
The S500 is a voluntary industry standard published by the IICRC, a standards body for the cleaning and restoration trades. Building codes and state licensing rules cover different ground, and the S500 doesn't replace them. Many companies and insurers use it as the common reference for what proper drying involves, and Asherwood Water Restoration follows it on storm jobs in Asherwood.
Because every rain event puts water back into the materials the crew just dried, and the readings start over from there. A temporary cover stops most of it, though wind driven rain can still work under the edges of a tarp on a damaged roof. Asherwood Water Restoration keeps the cover inspected, documents any rewetting that happens, and builds the drying plan around the repair schedule. Getting the permanent repair booked early is the single thing that'll shorten the drying phase most on a storm loss.
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. Asherwood Water Restoration reads the subfloor in your Asherwood home before telling you which case applies.
Wiping the surface treats the surface only, and the cavity behind a clean looking wall can stay wet. The moisture sits in the drywall and the framing, and drying is what removes the conditions mold needs. A wet wall that looks fine is common after a storm, so Asherwood Water Restoration reads the wall in your Asherwood home with meters and a thermal camera instead of judging it by appearance.
Most storm water jobs stay livable, since the work is usually in an attic, a ceiling cavity, or one or two rooms that can be sealed off with containment. Drying equipment's loud and it raises the temperature in the work area, so the affected rooms get uncomfortable for a few days. Floodwater that came in at grade is the usual exception, especially when it reached the only bathroom or the mechanicals, and the crew lead will say so on the first visit. Pets do better out of the work zone, mostly because of the air movers.
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. Asherwood Water Restoration photographs each stage in your Asherwood basement.
A roofing contractor does the permanent repair, and Asherwood 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.
