Storm Damage Cleanup in Sheridan

We handle storm damage cleanup across Sheridan, 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. 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.

After a storm we can be anywhere in Sheridan, from Maple Run to the roads around Veterans Park and Biddle Memorial Park. We also handle storm damage in Noblesville, Westfield, Tipton and Atlanta.

Expert Storm Damage for Sheridan Homeowners

Storm water caught early leaves a lot of drywall and subfloor that can dry where it stands, and the meters are what tell a crew which surfaces stay. Sheridan Water Restoration sorts the salvageable from the rest on storm calls in Sheridan and shows you the readings behind each decision before anything comes out of your house.

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

Reconstruction picks up where the drying stopped. Insulation goes back to the recorded depth, ceiling board gets hung, taped and finished, and the texture gets matched to the existing surface as closely as the material allows. Paint, trim, flooring and anything else that came out follow, and Sheridan Water Restoration schedules it around the rooms you need most in your Sheridan home.

Standard homeowners policies typically exclude flooding from rising surface water, which is usually covered under separate flood insurance such as an NFIP policy. If water came in at ground level, photograph the yard and the street as well as the interior. Sheridan Water Restoration records the waterline inside your Sheridan home, and your insurance company decides how the loss is classified.

Floodwater in your basement or garage calls for containment and protective gear, so it's worth a call before anyone wades in. Sheridan Water Restoration extracts the water in Sheridan and dries the structure afterward, with the soaked porous materials removed and photos at each stage. Call (765) 508-0821 to get a crew started.

Our Process

How Sheridan Water Restoration Handles Storm Damage

We follow these steps in order on every Sheridan 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

Emergency Stabilization

Tarp, shrink wrap or board up goes over the opening the storm made, photographed before and after. Stopping the ongoing intrusion is what lets the drying numbers hold. Details of the opening get passed to whoever's handling the permanent roof or siding repair.

3

Sump and Drain Check

The crew looks at the sump basin and the floor drains to see whether water is still entering or backing up. Anything that needs a plumber or an electrician gets noted, so the basement isn't refilling while the drying runs.

4

Drying Equipment Setup

Air movers go where the mapping shows wet surfaces, and dehumidifiers get sized to the volume of the space being dried. Closed doors and poly sheeting seal off the drying area so the equipment works on the wet rooms only.

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 Sheridan 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 Sheridan 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 Sheridan home.
Yes. Sheridan Water Restoration walks the scope with you line by line before demolition, and each line points to a photo or a reading. The scope separates the drying from the repairs that come after, so you can approve each part in writing. If hidden damage turns up later, it comes to you as a change with its own photos before the work goes ahead.
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 Sheridan home matter. Your insurance company decides what's covered.
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 Sheridan home. A reliable company explains its method and documents it.
That depends on how wet it got and what had to come out. A basement that dried in place can go back into use once the readings clear and the equipment is gone. One that needed carpet and the lower drywall removed has to wait for repairs before it's fully finished again. The crew tells you where your Sheridan basement stands at each daily visit.
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. Sheridan Water Restoration reads the subfloor in your Sheridan home before telling you which case applies.
Likely if the insulation stays wet, because attic framing and the paper facing on batt insulation are food sources and an attic holds heat well. Growth can start inside 24 to 48 hours at the right moisture content, and an attic that's been wet for a week usually shows something on the sheathing. Removing the wet insulation and getting framing and sheathing back to baseline moisture is what prevents it. Sheridan Water Restoration works to the IICRC S500 for the drying and the IICRC S520 when remediation is needed, and the readings tell you which one you've got.
Skip the roof. Wet decking after a storm is slippery, falls from a roof are a real risk, and a tarp installed wrong can channel water into the house. Sheridan Water Restoration crews carry tarp and board up material and dispatch within 2 hours, so the gap's short. What helps from inside is containing the water, with a tote under the drip, towels at the edges and nobody standing under a ceiling that's bulging.
Extraction gear comes first, so portable or truck mounted extractors and pumps for standing water. Then thermal imaging cameras and both penetrating and pinless moisture meters for the mapping, hygrometers to track the humidity, commercial dehumidifiers sized to the containment volume, air movers, HEPA air scrubbers where insulation or demolition dust is in play, and negative air cavity drying systems for ceilings and walls that can dry without coming down. Tarp, shrink wrap and board up material ride on the truck too, since the opening's usually got to be covered before anything else happens.
A good match is possible but takes care. The crew records the texture type and the wall or ceiling finish before cutting, and the person doing the repair matches it from that record. Painting the whole wall or ceiling, corner to corner, usually hides the seams best, because a patch painted alone tends to show. Your Sheridan file lists exactly where drywall came out, which helps the finish crew plan.
