Storm Damage Cleanup in Monrovia

We handle storm damage cleanup across Monrovia, 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. Storms here can also bring 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 Monrovia, from Homestead to the roads around Monrovia Branch and Monrovia Junior-Senior High School. We also handle storm damage in Camby, Plainfield, Martinsville and Mooresville.

Expert Storm Damage for Monrovia Homeowners

After a storm opens the roof, two jobs have to happen in order. The opening gets covered so nothing else gets in, then the water comes out of the insulation and the wall cavity while the permanent repair gets scheduled. Monrovia Water Restoration handles both on Monrovia, IN storm calls and dispatches within 2 hours, day or night.

Storm water work in Monrovia follows the IICRC S500, Fifth Edition, from 2021, and the IICRC S520 applies if wet insulation has started growing mold. Monrovia Water Restoration reads the attic and the ceilings every day and records each reading, so you can see the drying move from the first visit to the last one. The water restoration manager behind these jobs is IICRC certified.

On a basement job the crew studies where the water is coming from before the pumps start. The sump basin gets cleared and checked, and the floor drains get watched for backup. When water is returning quickly, the source gets sorted out first, because a refilling basement can't be dried in your Monrovia home.

Rain, insulation and drywall leave a lot to keep track of on a storm job, and Monrovia Water Restoration keeps it in one file for your Monrovia home. That file covers the entry point photos, the daily readings, why each material came out, the equipment log and the final readings. It's yours to keep, and you decide with your insurer what to do with it.

Wet insulation above a ceiling doesn't dry on its own, and the drywall underneath it has a limit. Call Monrovia Water Restoration and a crew is dispatched to your Monrovia, IN home within 2 hours with meters, extraction and drying equipment, and a photo report you keep.

Our Process

How Monrovia Water Restoration Handles Storm Damage

We follow these steps in order on every Monrovia 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

Power and Safety Check

The crew looks for water near outlets and light fixtures and keeps affected circuits off. Sagging ceilings and slick floors get marked before anyone starts work, and wet electrical gear gets flagged for an electrician.

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

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.

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 Monrovia homeowners ask us about storm damage restoration.

Yes. Monrovia Water Restoration handles storm water calls across central Indiana, so a home outside the town limits of Monrovia is still in the service area. Give the street address when you call, along with any road closures or landmarks that help a crew find the house, since storm weather can change which routes are open. The technician confirms the details with you before anyone heads out.
The inspection and the moisture readings are how the scope gets written, and any quote follows from them. A technician comes out, reads the affected materials and the unaffected baseline, photographs what's wet, and walks you through the readings, so you can decide whether to file a claim or handle the cost yourself. Emergency stabilization and extraction are billable work and get quoted before anyone starts on them. If you do file, the inspection photos and readings are yours to share with your insurance company.
Mostly access to the house and a little time to walk through the findings. You open the claim with your insurance company, and you talk with them about it. Monrovia Water Restoration puts the damage on record in a photo report and goes through it with you, and you take it from there with your insurance company. The report covers the opening, every wet area, the daily readings, the itemized scope and the final readings.
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. Monrovia Water Restoration keeps that file for your Monrovia 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 Monrovia Water Restoration about the outage so it goes in the daily log for your Monrovia 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. Monrovia Water Restoration makes that call on the first visit to your Monrovia home, writes it in the file and revisits it as the job runs.
Fiberglass batt and blown in cellulose both hold water against the materials around them, and both lose much of their insulating value when soaked, so removal is the usual call on a storm loss. Blown in cellulose mats down and stays compressed. Batt insulation holds water at the paper facing and won't let the ceiling board underneath dry out. Taking it out also lets the crew see and dry the sheathing and framing, which is where the real structural concern sits. Monrovia Water Restoration bags it out, records depth and square footage, and replaces it after clearance.
Keep windows shut while it's raining or humid, because outdoor air can add moisture instead of removing it. Regular household fans can move wet air around and spread dust or contamination if floodwater was involved. Leave the heating or cooling at its normal setting unless the equipment got wet. Monrovia Water Restoration sets up the drying in your Monrovia home so the air movers and dehumidifiers work together.
Through small ports. Crews drill or cut access holes into the cavity, usually along the top of a wall or on a line the drywall crew can patch easily, then push or pull conditioned dry air through the space with a cavity drying system. The meters go back into those same holes to track progress. It takes longer than demolition and it saves the finished surface, the texture match and the paint, so it gets tried wherever the readings and the condition of the material allow. Saturated, sagging drywall doesn't qualify and comes down.
Monrovia Water Restoration handles the rebuild on Monrovia 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.
