Storm Damage Cleanup in New Augusta

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

Storms Here

Severe thunderstorms come through in spring and summer, and the occasional tornado comes with them. 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.

After a storm we can be anywhere in New Augusta, from Augusta-New Augusta to the roads around Eagle Creek Park and New Augusta Train Depot. We also handle storm damage in Trader's Point and St. Vincent-Greenbriar.

Expert Storm Damage for New Augusta Homeowners

If wind lifted shingles or opened a seam on your New Augusta roof and there's more rain in the forecast, the opening is the problem to solve before anything else gets dry. Water that keeps coming in resets every reading a drying crew takes. New Augusta Water Restoration stabilizes the entry point with tarp or board up on the first visit, then starts extraction and drying underneath it. Dispatch to New Augusta, IN runs within 2 hours of your call.

Storm water gets into a house in a handful of ways, like a lifted shingle, a failed flashing joint, an ice dam backing up under the eave or wind pushing rain through a soffit. New Augusta Water Restoration traces the path in your New Augusta home with a thermal camera and moisture meters, so the drying covers every room the water reached.

Wet insulation comes out. Fiberglass that's been soaked loses its R value and holds water against the ceiling board, and blown in cellulose mats down and stays that way, so New Augusta Water Restoration removes it, bags it, and documents the square footage and the depth for the rebuild. New insulation goes back in after the framing and the sheathing read dry, and the depth gets recorded again on the way out.

What a carrier wants on a storm water loss is mostly ordinary material: date of loss, cause, the opening, what got wet, what was removed and why, what equipment ran and for how long, and proof the structure reached dry. New Augusta Water Restoration assembles all of it on New Augusta jobs as the work happens. You'll have your own copy of the file whether a claim gets filed or doesn't.

Storm water inside a home in New Augusta gets more expensive every day it sits in the insulation. New Augusta Water Restoration dispatches a crew with extraction, dehumidification and the meters to decide what can stay and what's got to go. Homeowners across New Augusta and Marion County can call day or night.

Our Process

How New Augusta Water Restoration Handles Storm Damage

We follow these steps in order on every New Augusta 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

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.

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

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.

5

Reconstruction and Finish Work

Insulation goes back to the recorded depth, ceiling board gets hung, taped and finished, texture is matched to the existing surface, then paint, trim, flooring and anything else that came out. The rebuild follows the measurements taken during the drying.

Common Questions

Storm Damage FAQ

Questions New Augusta homeowners ask us about storm damage restoration.

Yes. New Augusta Water Restoration dispatches within 2 hours around the clock, overnight and on holidays included. Overnight calls matter on storm losses because water keeps moving through the assembly while you sleep, and a ceiling holding water can let go with very little warning. While you're waiting, shut off power to the affected circuit at the panel if water is anywhere near a fixture or an outlet, and put a container under the drip to catch what's coming through.
For a small, clean spill caught right away, rented equipment can do the job. Storm water that reached insulation or wall cavities is harder, because the moisture sits where you can't see it and nothing tells you when the materials are dry. Without meters, a room that feels dry can still hold water in the framing. New Augusta Water Restoration can read your New Augusta home first, and the readings show whether the job is small enough to handle yourself.
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. New Augusta Water Restoration records the water line and the damage in your New Augusta basement, and that record is yours to hand to your insurance company.
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. New Augusta Water Restoration keeps that file for your New Augusta home and gives you a copy at the end of the job.
The machines stop, and moisture can start climbing in the wet materials, especially in humid weather. When power returns, the crew restarts the equipment and checks the readings against the last visit. Tell New Augusta Water Restoration about the outage so it goes in the daily log for your New Augusta job. A longer outage can add time to the drying, and the readings show how much.
The crew looks at where the water came from and what it passed through, and at how long it has been sitting. The S500 sorts water into three categories, from clean sources to grossly contaminated ones, and a loss can be reclassified as conditions change. New Augusta Water Restoration makes that call on the first visit to your New Augusta home, writes it in the file and revisits it as the job runs.
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 New Augusta home typically fades as the materials return to baseline.
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.
Air movers speed up evaporation by pushing air across wet surfaces, but all that moisture then sits in the room's air. Dehumidifiers pull it out of the air and drain it away, which lets the materials keep releasing water. Without them, humidity climbs and drying stalls. New Augusta Water Restoration sizes the dehumidifiers to the volume of the drying area in your New Augusta home and watches the air readings to confirm they're keeping up.
New Augusta Water Restoration handles the rebuild on New Augusta jobs once the cavity reads dry. Insulation goes back to the depth recorded when the wet material came out, ceiling board gets hung, taped, mudded and sanded, and the texture is matched to the existing surface as closely as the material allows. Paint, trim and flooring follow, and the rebuild works from the measurements taken during the drying.
