Storms Here

Severe thunderstorms come through in spring and summer. Storms here can also bring large hail and damaging wind. 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.

Expert Storm Damage for Raintree Village 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. Raintree Village Water Restoration takes storm water calls in Raintree Village, 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.

Air tells a crew how fast materials can give up water. Raintree Village Water Restoration logs the temperature and relative humidity inside the drying area and outside it on each visit, and adjusts dehumidification when the numbers stall. On a rainy week in Raintree Village, those air readings explain why a wall is drying slowly and what to change.

Mapping comes before cutting. Technicians walk every room under and beside the intrusion with a thermal camera to find the temperature differences wet material creates, then confirm with penetrating and pinless meters on drywall, framing, flooring and insulation. Readings get taken in unaffected rooms too, because those become the baseline that defines dry for your particular house. The map's what decides which surfaces get opened and which ones stay closed.

Storm damage that sat for a while raises questions, so the file gets built to answer them. Raintree Village Water Restoration documents the condition of the materials as found in your Raintree Village home, notes where newer damage has already started and photographs both. You decide with your insurance company what that record means, and the photos make it clearer than anybody's memory would.

Finding out what the storm did starts with a walk through the house. Raintree Village Water Restoration inspects homes in Raintree Village and Johnson County, maps the moisture, and gives you photos and readings you can share with your insurance company. Dispatch for active intrusion runs day or night.

Our Process

How Raintree Village Water Restoration Handles Storm Damage

We follow these steps in order on every Raintree Village 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

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.

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 Raintree Village homeowners ask us about storm damage restoration.

Call right away, because water keeps spreading into the carpet and the lower drywall while the power is out, and the call shouldn't wait for the lights. Stay out of standing water if outlets or the panel are anywhere near it. Raintree Village Water Restoration will talk you through what to do while the crew gets ready for your Raintree Village basement, including which areas to keep clear.
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. Raintree Village Water Restoration inspects your Raintree Village home and explains the readings behind the price.
The crew pauses to photograph the cavity and take readings, then shows you what was found. Any added work goes into a written change to the scope that you approve before it starts. Many insurance companies review added damage as a supplement to the original claim, so those photos and readings from your Raintree Village home matter. Your insurance company decides what's covered.
Yes. The IICRC S500 is the published standard for water damage restoration, whatever brought the water in, and its current edition is the Fifth Edition from 2021. Raintree Village Water Restoration uses it as the reference on storm jobs in Raintree Village. What you'll see is the crew covering the opening, reading the materials, removing only what won't dry and logging readings until the house is dry.
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 Raintree Village, outdoor humidity is often the reason a wall dries more slowly than the day before, and the daily air readings show it.
Water that comes up through the floor joint or foundation has passed through soil, so crews generally treat it with caution and often handle it as contaminated until the source and the readings say otherwise. Wet carpet and pad from that kind of seepage commonly come out. Raintree Village Water Restoration photographs the entry points and the waterline in your Raintree Village basement before anything moves.
Meters and a thermal camera show where moisture is, but only an opening shows what's growing. When readings run high behind a window or door, the crew pulls the baseboard or trim and makes a small inspection hole to look into the cavity. If growth is present, the work moves under the S520 with containment, and Raintree Village Water Restoration explains the plan for your Raintree Village home before it starts.
A shop vac handles a small puddle, but a flooded basement needs extraction equipment, and plugging anything in over a wet floor adds a shock risk. If you try it for a small spill, use a GFCI-protected outlet well away from the water. Anything carrying soil or standing deep should wait for the crew. Describe what you're seeing to Raintree Village Water Restoration and a technician can tell you which situation your Raintree Village basement is in.
Numbers off a meter, compared against unaffected material in the same house. A technician records baseline readings in rooms the water never reached on the first visit, then reads the affected materials at the same marked spots every day after that. Drying's finished when the affected readings match the baseline, which is a different number in every house depending on materials and season. Ambient conditions get logged as well, since temperature and humidity inside containment determine how fast the materials can give up water at all.
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.
