Storm Damage Cleanup in Pendleton

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

Storms Here

Fall Creek has a history of flooding. Storms here can also 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

Homes near Fall Creek 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 Pendleton, from Maple Trails to the roads around Falls Park and Fall Creek Golf Club. We also handle storm damage in Fishers, Fortville, Ingalls and Lapel.

Expert Storm Damage for Pendleton Homeowners

Water from a storm keeps doing damage after the rain stops. Wet attic insulation and a ceiling cavity that stays damp give microbial growth the 24 to 48 hours it needs to start, and once it starts the scope changes and the price follows it. Pendleton Water Restoration dispatches to storm water losses in Pendleton within 2 hours with the extraction and drying equipment to get affected materials back under the moisture content where growth stalls out.

Drying can't finish under an active leak, so Pendleton Water Restoration covers the opening first. The crew tarps or boards the spot where the storm got in, photographs it before and after, and starts extraction inside on the same visit. The details of the opening get passed to whoever handles the permanent roof or siding repair on your Pendleton home.

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 Pendleton home starts with a plan.

Two claims sometimes come out of one storm, one for the roof or the siding and one for the water damage inside. Your insurance company decides how they're handled, and your agent can explain your policy. Pendleton Water Restoration builds the inside part of the record on Pendleton jobs, from the entry point photos and the readings through the scope and the final readings.

Unsure how serious the damage is? Describe what you're seeing to a technician at Pendleton Water Restoration, and you'll hear what the readings are likely to show and what to do in the meantime. Soft drywall and damp carpet in Pendleton homes usually have a cause worth finding early.

Our Process

How Pendleton Water Restoration Handles Storm Damage

We follow these steps in order on every Pendleton 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

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

Attic and Cavity Drying

Air movers aim at wet surfaces, dehumidification is sized to the containment volume, and negative air cavity drying runs through small ports where a ceiling or wall doesn't have to come down to dry. Humidity gets tracked inside and outside the drying area.

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 Pendleton homeowners ask us about storm damage restoration.

A crew dispatches at any hour of the day, weekends and holidays included. Storm intrusion gets priority because it's usually still active when you call, so the crew arrives carrying tarp and board up material along with the extraction and drying equipment. Before the crew gets there, shut off power near any wet fixture and move what you can. You'll have the moisture readings in writing before any work is scoped.
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. Pendleton Water Restoration shows you the readings behind any extension, and nothing changes on your Pendleton job without your approval. Keeping the doors to the drying rooms shut helps the equipment finish sooner.
The photo report and daily readings show the rooms as they were before anything was opened, so the adjuster can see the original condition afterward. Ask the adjuster whether they want to see any material before it's discarded, and tell the crew so it can be set aside or photographed. The adjuster decides what your policy covers, and Pendleton Water Restoration keeps the record for your Pendleton home organized for that review.
Ask the company directly. It should be able to tell you what training its technicians have completed and whether they follow the IICRC S500 on water jobs. Ask to see moisture readings and photos from a past job with the customer's details removed, and ask who will actually be working in your Pendleton home. A reliable company explains its method and documents it.
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. Pendleton 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.
Water that comes in at ground level can carry soil and whatever was in the yard or the street. The Massachusetts Department of Public Health's guide lists rising floodwater from rivers and streams as Category 3, black water, the same as sewage, and says to call a professional cleanup contractor for it. The crew sets up containment and works in protective gear, and the soaked carpet pad, batt insulation and lower drywall come out. Pendleton Water Restoration photographs all of it in your Pendleton home before anything moves.
A musty smell usually means moisture is still present somewhere, such as in carpet pad or a wall cavity, even when everything looks dry. The smell itself can't show where it's coming from, so the crew follows it with meters and a thermal camera. Once the wet spot is found and dried, the smell in your Pendleton home typically fades as the materials return to baseline.
If water reached outlets or the panel, have an electrician check the circuits before restoring power to those areas. Don't flip breakers while standing on a wet floor. Rooms where the ceiling is wet or the walls feel damp can stay on their own circuits until the crew has mapped the moisture. Pendleton Water Restoration will tell you which areas of your Pendleton home to keep off while you wait.
A HEPA air scrubber filters the air in the work area, which matters when demolition stirs up dust or insulation fibers, or when floodwater has left residue on surfaces. The unit usually runs inside the containment so the air in the rest of your Pendleton home stays cleaner. Pendleton Water Restoration places it where the work is happening and takes it out after clearance.
Materials that can't reach dry readings come out, and everything else stays and gets dried in place. That usually means saturated insulation and sagging drywall, plus porous materials soaked by contaminated water, while solid framing and concrete stay. The crew shows you the readings behind each removal in your Pendleton home and records what came out, so the list becomes the starting point for repairs.
