Plainfield Water Damage Restoration After Flooding

12/12/2022 (Permalink)

Flooding can happen at any time of the year. SERVPRO's highly trained team is always available to restore your home.

Objectives for Storm Water Damage Restoration

After storms, your home can deal with various flooding and water intrusion. Overcoming these threats to your house means figuring out how to manage the concerns of floodwater and how it immediately affects the materials used to construct your residence. Our professionals perform specific objectives for post-flood cleanup and recovery as soon as we arrive at homes after disasters. 

Repairing Damaged Structure

Water and storm damage restoration for Plainfield homes and businesses is an essential component of post-flooding recovery. The first step is determining where the structure has been compromised to allow water penetration to the residence. Repairs might include the vulnerabilities of the basement, such as hydrostatic pressures forcing their way into this subterranean level of the house or water forcing through structural openings like the main doorway on the surface-level floor. Even temporarily, repairs and board-up prevent further infiltration of floodwater as drying gets underway.

Standing Water Removal 

SERVPRO professionals understand the importance of removing standing water, especially after flooding. The responding technicians prioritize eliminating pooling on the flooring surface and other structural elements. To achieve this, several tools from our inventory of recovery equipment are necessary. Based on the level of the damage and the location, we might need multiple extraction units to achieve the intended result, like:

• Trash pumps 
• Wet vacuums
• Truck-mount extractors

Muck-Out Cleaning 

With the surface water mostly removed, SERVPRO professionals must quickly address another substantial obstacle: muck, mud, and debris. Muck-out cleaning uses shovels, vacuums, and other implements to eliminate surface debris buildup that could promote bug infestations, the growth of viral and bacterial pathogens, and the destruction of exposed structural elements in your home. 

Stormwater damage restoration in Plainfield can be a substantial undertaking that requires fast action and multiple types of water removal and cleaning services. Our SERVPRO of Hendricks County team is ready to help 24/7 when you call (317) 838-0100.

During the spring and summer months, thunderstorms that produce lightning, thunder, heavy rain, flooding, strong winds, tornadoes, and hail can occur. These storms are extremely dangerous and can appear suddenly with little warning and may only last a few minutes but have the strength and power to cause a great amount of damage.

Before A Thunderstorm

• Check weather forecasts daily, purchase an all-hazard weather radio and have multiple ways to receive weather alerts.
• Plan outdoor events near a secure shelter where people can go in the event of a storm.
• Keep trees trimmed to prevent limbs from falling onto buildings, cars or people.
• If hail or strong winds are expected, park vehicles under a shelter to avoid damage.
• Make sure preparedness kits are portable for easy transport if evacuation is necessary. Preparedness kits should be tailored to household needs.
• Bring pets indoors before a storm moves into the area. Sheds, dog houses, and garages do not provide ample protection from lightning, hail, high winds, and tornadoes.

Your local SERVPRO of Hendricks County is alert and ready for storm damage concerns. Contact us and let us get you back to “Like it never even happened.”

Storms Will Come…Are You Ready?

9/7/2021 (Permalink)

Before the storm hits, homeowners are concerned about their safety first. This is important; however, when the storm dies down and you’re left with pieces to pick up, it’s important to know how to deal with it. The more you know in advance, the easier the process is sure to be. This process involves handling water damage, deciding what to tear out and a full storm restoration.

1. Extract All Water

Because you often can’t get back into your home until all the water is removed, it’s imperative that you invest in flood water extraction. Keep in mind that flood water is often contaminated. After 24 hours, it’s considered black water and full of contaminants. The safest and most effective option is to have someone with the proper gear and tools to extract the water.

2. Tear Out Wet Materials

Water damage can lead to professionals having to tear out any and all wet materials. This could be paneling, flooring and a number of different household materials that may need to be dried out. While some might be salvageable, once the material has sat in water, it’s likely that the damage on some of it is irreversible.

3. Dry Out Structure

With the damp materials out, it’s time to dry the inside of your home. This can be done by SERVPRO of Hendricks County professional services if you want to have it done quickly and effectively.

4. Begin Restoration

Storm restoration can begin once you’ve completed the tear out and drying. After this, you can bring the undamaged items back into your home and begin to rebuild. The reason it’s important not to start this step until after the cleanup is complete is that you never want to rebuild when there’s a risk that there may still be water damage or mold left behind.

When the storm is over, the cleanup process is still only beginning. Fortunately, these four steps should be able to help you understand the importance of assessing what you need to tear out after water has damaged your home to start your storm restoration.

Tips on Preparing Your Home Before A Thunderstorm in Hendricks County

8/27/2020 (Permalink)

Preparing Your Residence for Spring/Summer Showers and Water Damage

Rain, rain, go away. We all know the months are coming when we will start to think of these words to that childhood song. Rain is necessary to nourish flowers and trees, and that’s great! But sometimes all that water can cause damage to your home or business.

Is your residence ready? Let’s talk about ways to prepare.

• Take a look at rain gutters. Clogged gutters will cause rainwater to backup, damaging your roof and walls.
• Do a roof inspection. Are any shingles loose or damaged? Replace any that could be an issue to protect attic or work space from water damage.
• Check interior walls and ceilings for signs of water damage; this could be an indication of roof leaks.
• Trim any trees and bushes next to your residence. Be sure to cut back branches that could become waterlogged and break off, damaging property.
• Ensure that all doors and windows are secure, and that weather-stripping is in good condition.
• Look for water collecting around the foundation of your Centerton residence, and take steps to redirect it, if needed, to avoid water damage.
• If your home is located near flooding areas, stockpiling sandbags to protect your property and parking areas would be a good idea. 
• Any erosion on your property will need to be handled before the rains come so that your home won’t suffer from mudslides.
• Make sure the city drains near your residence are clear of debris and earth.

Preparedness in the event of any kind of extreme weather is always a good idea, to protect your home and property from loss and damage. Taking the time to assess your situation and thinking ahead about what may come is a good way to keep your investment secure.

Call our team at SERVPRO of Hendricks County anytime, whether you need assistance with water damage, fire damage or mold prevention.

Tips On Being Prepared For A Storm Power Outage in Avon, Indiana

8/26/2020 (Permalink)

During a Storm Power Outage

Staying Safe Indoors

• Use flash lights in the dark, not candles.

• Eliminate unnecessary travel, especially by car. Traffic lights will be out and roads will be congested.

• If you are using a generator be sure you understand the risks of carbon monoxide poisoning and how to use generators safely.

Food Safety

• Keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible. An unopened refrigerator will keep foods cold for about 4 hours. A full freezer will keep the temperature for about 48 hours (24 hours if it is half full) if the door remains closed.

• First use perishable food from the refrigerator. Perishables should have a temperature of 40 degrees Fahrenheit (4 degrees Celsius) or below to be safe to eat. Then use food from the freezer.

• Use your non-perishable foods and staples after using food from the refrigerator and freezer.

• If it looks like the power outage will continue beyond a day, prepare a cooler with ice for your freezer items.

• Keep food in a dry, cool spot and keep it covered at all times.

Electrical Equipment

• Turn off and unplug all unnecessary electrical equipment, including sensitive electronics.

• Turn off or disconnect any appliances (like stoves), equipment or electronics you were using when the power went out. When power comes back on, surges or spikes can damage equipment.

• Leave one light turned on so you’ll know when the power comes back on.

After Storm Power Outages in Pittsboro, IN

8/26/2020 (Permalink)

After A Storm Damage Power Outage

• If electrical power lines are down, don’t touch them. Keep your family and pets away. Report downed lines to your utility company.

Throw Out Unsafe Food

• Throw away any food (particularly meat, poultry, fish, eggs and leftovers) that has been exposed to temperatures higher than 40° F (4° C) for 2 hours or more, or that has an unusual odor, color or texture. When in doubt, throw it out!

• Never taste food or rely on appearance or odor to determine its safety. Some foods may look and smell fine, but if they have been at room temperature too long, bacteria causing food-borne illnesses can start growing quickly. Some types of bacteria produce toxins that cannot be destroyed by cooking.

• If you are not sure food is cold enough, take its temperature with a food thermometer.

• If food in the freezer is colder than 40° F and has ice crystals on it, you can refreeze it.

Storm Restoration: Steps To Take After Storm Damage in Avon, IN

10/10/2018 (Permalink)

Clearing snow and ice from your roof and gutters can minimize your home damage

Storm Restoration: Steps To Take After Storm Damage

With the sudden change in climate condition, the disaster management authority is not only calling for homeowners to ensure their homes against perils such as flooding and other types of storm damage, but also to have storm remediation knowledge. Storm damages are fatal and if no necessary measures are taken these damages can stretch long after the storm. Below are tips from expert home restoration companies and the National Storm Damage Center on what to do after a storm.

Safety first

Most storms are characterized by strong winds and heavy rainfall. Depending on the severity of the storms, property owners may experience severe wind damage and flooding. When this happens, the most important thing to do is run for shelter and only return after the necessary authorities have given the safety clearance.


During a storm, the roof is the most susceptible part of your home prone to damages hence the higher prevalence of roof damage remediation tasks. Wind damage may result in tree branches and other heavy material falling to your roof thus resulting to roof damage and roof leaks. Regardless of how small the storm damages may look in a certain property, it’s still advisable to call SERVPRO of Hendricks County experts to help assess and evaluate the damages. This practice is still important when it comes to having a smooth storm remediation and compensation process since storm restoration companies and insurance providers rely on these reports to do roof repair and give compensation respectively.

Clean up

Cleaning up the after storm damage is not an easy task. Forget the fact that the process is physically involving, it is also emotionally draining to the damaged property owners. Expert storm restoration companies carry out this assignment depending on the type of damage to a property. For instance, in cases of flooding, the excess stagnated groundwater has to be drained out first. The best way to drain this water is by use of sump pumps.

When using sump pumps it is important to note that there is no a one-fit-all situation sump pump. You need advice from home restoration experts on the best sump pump to use. After draining the flood water and the groundwater, the other option is to fix the roof damage and the roof leaks before drying and dehumidifying the place. This order is of importance according to water restoration companies as it helps prevent repeating the same work twice.

The second way to handle your cleanup task is correcting the fixtures. Despite the fact that frozen pipes are characteristics ice damage to areas experiencing a distinct winter, they too occur at others parts of the world. A good home restoration firm should be able to melt the ice dams on the frozen pipes using chemicals. This process of ice damming should also be carried out on roof edges to help make way for melting ice damming thus preventing further roof damages to occur to your roof. After this process of unfreezing the frozen pipes and clearing the ice dams is complete, a proper insulation exercise when doing roof repair ought to take place to prevent the occurrence of these ice damming damages.

Planning the storm restoration

After all is said and done, the last step in storm remediation process should be restoring your Avon, IN home to its former glory. Hiring competent and skilled storm restoration companies is important as this stage is quite demanding. Depending on the extent the groundwater damage, the water restoration expert may be forced to carry minor repairs such as roof repair in roof leaks to reconstructing an entire room. The property may also need to be fixed when it comes to the frozen pipes.

When it comes to flooding, no peril is greater than the other.
