Storms Here

Eagle Creek 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 Eagle 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.

Expert Storm Damage for Trader's Point Homeowners

After days of heavy rain, the ground around your Trader's Point home holds all it can, and the next downpour pushes water through the floor joint and the cracks in the foundation wall. A basement can take on water this way with every pipe and appliance intact. Trader's Point Water Restoration extracts the water and dries the structure on storm calls across Marion County, with readings that show how far it spread.

The surface of a hardwood floor can feel dry long before the subfloor beneath it does. Trader's Point Water Restoration reads the board and the subfloor, then tracks the floor for cupping and gaps as the days pass. In your Trader's Point home, those readings decide whether the floor dries in place or has to come up.

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 Trader's Point home.

Rain, insulation and drywall leave a lot to keep track of on a storm job, and Trader's Point Water Restoration keeps it in one file for your Trader's Point home. That file covers the entry point photos, the daily readings, why each material came out, the equipment log and the final readings. It's yours to keep, and you decide with your insurer what to do with it.

Storm damage calls in Trader's Point, IN get answered by Trader's Point 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 Trader's Point Water Restoration Handles Storm Damage

We follow these steps in order on every Trader's Point job.

1

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.

2

Wet Insulation Removal

Soaked batts and matted blown in get bagged out of the attic and the ceiling cavity, with type, depth and square footage recorded for the rebuild and for the claim. Wet insulation holds water against the ceiling board and loses its insulating value while it's wet.

3

Cleaning Surfaces That Stay

Framing and hard surfaces that stay get cleaned and treated with an antimicrobial once the soaked material is out. Cleaning comes before the drying equipment goes in, so the air movers aren't pushing soil around the room.

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

Final Walkthrough

Once the clearance readings are documented, the equipment comes out and the technician walks the rooms with you. The removed materials and the photo file get reviewed together so you know what repairs come next.

Common Questions

Storm Damage FAQ

Questions Trader's Point homeowners ask us about storm damage restoration.

Yes. A damp patch after a storm can mean far more water than you can see, because it travels through insulation and framing before it shows. Describe what you're seeing to Trader's Point Water Restoration and a technician will tell you what the readings are likely to show and what to do in the meantime. If the meters find only a little moisture, you'll know that too, and you'll have the numbers in writing for your Trader's Point home.
It depends on how much insulation and ceiling got wet and how far the water spread. A single room caught in the first day or two is the small end, since the ceiling can often dry in place. Several rooms, a soaked attic or water that reached the floors below costs more, and contaminated floodwater adds containment and disposal. Trader's Point Water Restoration inspects your Trader's Point home and explains the readings behind the price.
It depends on your policy, and the adjuster makes the call. Many standard homeowners policies treat sump pump overflow and drain backup as an optional endorsement, so look for water backup coverage on yours or ask your agent. Trader's Point Water Restoration records the water line and the damage in your Trader's Point basement, and that record is yours to hand to your insurance company.
Aaron Christy founded the company in 2018, and he's still at the head of it. The company holds a BBB A+ rating and has been BBB accredited since 2019. Crews handle storm water calls across central Indiana, including Trader's Point, from the tarp over the opening to the ceiling that goes back up, and every job gets a photo report, daily readings and a written scope you approve.
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 Trader's Point, outdoor humidity is often the reason a wall dries more slowly than the day before, and the daily air readings show it.
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. Trader's Point Water Restoration reads the subfloor in your Trader's Point home before telling you which case applies.
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. Trader's Point Water Restoration bags it out, records depth and square footage, and replaces it after clearance.
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.
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 Trader's Point home settle which.
A roofing contractor does the permanent repair, and Trader's Point 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.
