Storm Damage Cleanup in Attica

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

Storms Here

The Wabash River has a history of flooding. If your insurance company asks for a storm date, NWS Indianapolis keeps a list of past events.

Where Storm Water Ends Up

Homes near the Wabash River 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 Attica, from the Brady Street Historic District to the roads around Harrison Hills Country Club and Devon Theatre. We also handle storm damage in Fountain, West Lebanon, Veedersburg and Covington.

Expert Storm Damage for Attica Homeowners

Water coming out of a ceiling light or a fan canopy means it's pooling on top of the drywall and has already found the electrical box. Shut off that circuit at the breaker before anything else. Attica Water Restoration takes storm water calls in Attica, IN around the clock and dispatches a crew within 2 hours to pull the water out, open what has to come open, and dry the cavity that's been holding it.

A meter reading only means something on the right scale. Drywall and wood framing read differently, so Attica Water Restoration sets the meter for the material it's touching and logs the material type beside every number. That's how a reading taken in your Attica home on day one can be compared with one taken on day four.

Surface water jobs add a cleaning stage after the soaked material is out. Framing and concrete that stay get cleaned and treated with an antimicrobial before any drying equipment goes in. Crews work in protective gear, and the debris gets bagged where it comes out and carried straight out of the house.

Your phone probably holds before pictures you haven't thought of. Birthday photos and holiday videos often show a ceiling or a basement wall as it looked before the storm, and those help show what changed. Attica Water Restoration adds dated photos and readings from your Attica home, and your insurance company decides how to weigh them.

Water pulled out early leaves more of your flooring in place. Attica Water Restoration extracts and starts the drying on storm calls in Attica, then reads the subfloor to see what can stay. Call (765) 517-7678 and describe what you're seeing, and a technician will tell you what to do while the crew gets ready.

Our Process

How Attica Water Restoration Handles Storm Damage

We follow these steps in order on every Attica job.

1

Moisture Mapping

Thermal imaging and penetrating meters cover every room under and beside the intrusion, plus baseline readings in unaffected areas of the same house. The map shows how far water tracked through framing and insulation, and it's what decides which surfaces get opened.

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

Drying Equipment Setup

Air movers go where the mapping shows wet surfaces, and dehumidifiers get sized to the volume of the space being dried. Closed doors and poly sheeting seal off the drying area so the equipment works on the wet rooms only.

5

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.

Common Questions

Storm Damage FAQ

Questions Attica homeowners ask us about storm damage restoration.

Tell the person who answers where you see water and whether it's still coming in. Say whether the power is on and roughly when it started, and mention anything you've already moved or turned off. Attica Water Restoration uses those details to plan the visit and to tell you what to do in the meantime, such as which circuits to leave off and which rooms to stay out of.
Equipment time is set by the daily readings, so a job that dries slowly can run longer than first planned. Dense materials and cold weather are the usual reasons. Attica Water Restoration shows you the readings behind any extension, and nothing changes on your Attica job without your approval. Keeping the doors to the drying rooms shut helps the equipment finish sooner.
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 Attica file ends up with two views of the loss.
Yes. The S500 calls for documenting the conditions found, the water source and category, the readings taken, the equipment placed and the progress of the drying. On a storm job that becomes entry point photos and the daily moisture and equipment logs. Attica Water Restoration keeps that file for your Attica home and gives you a copy at the end of the job.
A technician returns daily to log moisture content at the same marked spots and compare it with the dry reference from your own house. The visit also lets the crew move or add equipment wherever a zone is lagging and catch problems early, such as a pump that stopped or a room that's rewetting. Once the readings match the reference, the visits end and the equipment comes out.
Water from overhead soaks a lot of material at once, like insulation, ceiling board, the top of the walls and sometimes the carpet below. All of it has to dry, and insulation and drywall hold water against each other. That takes more dehumidifier capacity than a wet floor alone. Attica Water Restoration sizes the equipment to what's wet in your Attica home and adjusts it each day as the readings drop.
Yes. EPA guidance says mold can begin growing on damp materials within 24 to 48 hours, and a flooded basement has plenty of damp material for it, from carpet and pad to drywall and stored boxes. The faster the water comes out and the materials dry to baseline, the less chance growth has to start. Attica Water Restoration works to the IICRC S500 for the drying and the S520 when growth is already present in your Attica basement.
Stay on the stairs and call first, because standing water near outlets or the furnace can carry current and floodwater hides steps and debris. If the water is above the outlets, stay upstairs. Attica Water Restoration can tell you what to check from the stairs in your Attica home, and the crew assesses the electrical hazards before anyone wades in.
Air movers sound like a box fan and dehumidifiers add a steady hum, so the affected rooms are noisy for the first few days. The machines run around the clock because drying stops when they do. The crew spreads them across circuits so breakers don't trip. Light sleepers and pets often do better in a room away from the work in your Attica home.
It matches or exceeds what came out, and the documentation is how that gets proven. Crews record the type, depth and square footage of the wet insulation before removal, so the replacement goes back at the same R value or better. If the attic was underinsulated to begin with, the technician will tell you and quote the upgrade separately, since that part is an upgrade and your policy may treat it differently. Depth gets recorded again after the install.
