Inspection and Evaluation

Cleaning, Deodorization, and Antimicrobials
If needed, we treat odor causing bacteria and clean affected areas to protect your home and belongings.
Water damage is not always limited to what you can see. Moisture can spread behind walls, under flooring, and into building materials. A professional inspection helps identify hidden moisture, stop further damage, and protect your property through proper extraction, drying, and monitoring.
Common causes include sump pump failures, burst or frozen pipes, appliance leaks, sewage backups, roof leaks, and storm or flood water. Even if the affected area seems small, it should be evaluated quickly to prevent odors, bacteria, and mold.
Before and after restoration results vary based on the source and extent of water damage.
Whether at home or your business Indiana Restoration & Cleaning Services uses professional equipment and proven restoration methods to remove excess water, dry affected areas, and help return your property to its pre loss condition.
Water damage in your home can come from a variety of sources. In Indiana, we often think about sump pump failures and a flooded basement. However, water damage from other sources can potentially be just as devastating. Broken pipes, leaking refrigerators/icemakers, frozen spigots, washing machine hoses, sewage backups, roof leaks and ice dams can all cause significant damage to the inside of your home. In most of these situations, it is important to rely on a professional in the field to protect the integrity and security of your investment. Indiana Restoration & Cleaning Services have certified water damage specialists that can thoroughly inspect your property and work with your insurance company to ensure your home is properly dried.
Indiana Restoration & Cleaning Services follows standards for water restoration in Indiana as set forth by the Institute for Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification’s (IICRC) S-500 Water Damage Mitigation Standard
Inspection and Evaluation
In any water damage situation, it is important to assess the building materials and contents that are retaining moisture and develop a specific and unique drying plan for each loss. Indiana Restoration & Cleaning Services has trained personnel and specialty equipment that can evaluate water damage and ensure all areas that are retaining moisture are identified and addressed. Most often during a water loss situation, there are more materials that are wet than appear to be. Even if you feel the water damage is small or isolated, it should be evaluated by a water damage restoration professional.
Extraction
Removing excess moisture in a water damage situation is a critical first step in the water damage restoration process. Indiana Restoration & Cleaning Services have the appropriate equipment to ensure this excess moisture is removed quickly and thoroughly.
Structural Drying
Even after the excess (or visible) moisture is removed after a water damage situation, building materials and contents normally retain some level of moisture and need to be further addressed through drying. If the structure is not appropriately dried, over a period of time, odors, bacteria and mold could result. Indiana Restoration & Cleaning Services have trained professionals and specialty drying equipment to thoroughly dry your property and protect your investment.
Building Material Removal
Some building materials can be dried in place through air movement and dehumidification. Unfortunately there are times when building materials cannot be appropriately dried and need to be removed. Indiana Restoration & Cleaning Services have trained professionals that know the proper way to remove only the necessary building materials to get your property fully dried. Removing only what is necessary facilitates a faster rebuilding process and getting your investment back to its pre-loss condition. If building materials need to be removed during the drying process, Indiana Restoration & Cleaning Services have the resources and expertise to rebuild or repair your property as well.
Deodorization, Cleaning and Antimicrobials
When water damage occurs, often times it is accompanied by the presence of a variety of odors. While this is quite normal, the presence of “musty” odors is due to the presence of odor causing bacteria. Indiana Restoration & Cleaning Services have the expertise to ensure your investment is protected from odors and we will clean and treat your property and possessions to eliminate these odors if necessary.
