Storm Damage in Ellettsville, IN

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. Ellettsville Water Restoration maps the whole affected area on Ellettsville storm losses with thermal imaging and penetrating meters, prices the work from what those readings show, and dispatches a crew within 2 hours.

The line surface water leaves on a wall records how deep it stood. Ellettsville Water Restoration measures the height of that line on each wall in your Ellettsville 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.

Each floor type dries on its own schedule: hardwood gets drying mats or panels that pull moisture up through the boards, and carpet is either lifted and dried or removed with its pad, depending on how clean the water was. Ellettsville Water Restoration reads the subfloor under all of it before the floor is called dry in your Ellettsville home.

Ellettsville Water Restoration photographs every wet area in your Ellettsville home before anything gets removed and logs the readings that called for the removal. The cut lines get photographed too. When hidden damage shows up behind an opened ceiling, the crew photographs it, takes readings and walks you through the change, and you approve it before the work goes ahead.

If your insurance company is sending an adjuster, call Ellettsville Water Restoration before the rooms get cleared out. The crew photographs the damage as it sits and logs the readings, so your Ellettsville file is complete when the adjuster arrives.
