Storms here can bring large hail. If your insurance company asks for a storm date, NWS Indianapolis keeps a list of past events.

Where Storm Water Ends Up

Homes near Sugar 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.

After a storm we can be anywhere in New Palestine, from Briarwood Trace to the roads around the Pennsy Trail and New Palestine Elementary School. We also handle storm damage in Morristown, Fortville, Cumberland and McCordsville.

Expert Storm Damage for New Palestine Homeowners

After days of heavy rain, the ground around your New Palestine 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. New Palestine Water Restoration extracts the water and dries the structure on storm calls across Hancock County, with readings that show how far it spread.

Air tells a crew how fast materials can give up water. New Palestine 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 New Palestine, those air readings explain why a wall is drying slowly and what to change.

When the clearance readings are documented, the equipment comes out and the technician walks the rooms with you. The final readings and the list of removed materials get reviewed together, and the photo set goes in your file. That walk tells you what repairs come next in your New Palestine home and gives your contractor a clear record to work from.

A sump pump that stopped when the power failed is a different situation from rain coming through a wall. Many standard homeowners policies treat sump overflow and drain backup as an optional endorsement, so check whether yours has one. New Palestine Water Restoration documents the water line and the damage in your New Palestine basement, and the adjuster decides what the policy covers.

The gap between a ceiling that can be dried and a ceiling that has to come down is measured in days. New Palestine Water Restoration answers storm water calls in New Palestine and Hancock County with a 2 hour dispatch window, around the clock, and we'll show you the readings that say which side of that line your house is on.

Our Process

How New Palestine Water Restoration Handles Storm Damage

We follow these steps in order on every New Palestine job.

1

Moisture Mapping

Thermal imaging and penetrating meters cover every room under and beside the intrusion, plus baseline readings in unaffected areas of the same house. The map shows how far water tracked through framing and insulation, and it's what decides which surfaces get opened.

2

Water Source Call

The crew checks where the water came in and what it touched on the way, and photographs the entry point. Floodwater that came in at grade gets containment and protective gear before any work starts.

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

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.

5

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.

Common Questions

Storm Damage FAQ

Questions New Palestine 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 New Palestine 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 New Palestine home.
Often, when the water is caught early and the board is still solid. Drying in place avoids demolition and the finish work that follows, so the scope stays smaller. The readings decide it: drywall that has swelled or sagged comes out, and the crew shows you the numbers before cutting. New Palestine Water Restoration writes the scope for your New Palestine home to match what the meters say.
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 Palestine Water Restoration records the water line and the damage in your New Palestine 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 Palestine Water Restoration keeps that file for your New Palestine home and gives you a copy at the end of the job.
Three to five days of equipment time is typical for a single room ceiling intrusion once the opening is covered, and a saturated attic with several rooms affected often runs five to eight. The number comes from the daily readings, so it moves with the materials. Dense material like plaster, hardwood and framing lumber gives up water slowly and can stretch it out. Reconstruction adds its own time after the structure reads dry, and the drywall, texture and paint schedule depends on how much ceiling's been cut out.
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. New Palestine Water Restoration photographs all of it in your New Palestine home 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 New Palestine Water Restoration explains the plan for your New Palestine home before it starts.
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. New Palestine 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.
Air movers sound like a box fan and dehumidifiers add a steady hum, so the affected rooms are noisy for the first few days. The machines run around the clock because drying stops when they do. The crew spreads them across circuits so breakers don't trip. Light sleepers and pets often do better in a room away from the work in your New Palestine home.
Drywall acts like a wick and pulls water up above the line you can see, and the insulation behind it holds that water against the framing. A flood cut takes the board off above the highest point the readings show wicking, which opens the cavity so the framing can be read and dried. The cut height is measured and photographed in your New Palestine home, and the repair crew starts from that line.
