Basement Flooding in Centerville, IN

Water came in through the window well in your Centerville basement, over the sill and down the inside of the wall, and the stain you can see on the drywall shows a fraction of where it went. The rest you can't see, sitting in the cavity, the bottom plate and the insulation behind them. Centerville Water Restoration sends a crew within two hours with meters and thermal imaging to map the wet area before anything gets cut open.

Our crews take the photos in your basement, from the standing water and the entry point to every box and piece of furniture on the floor. Centerville Water Restoration puts those photos, the moisture readings and the list of removed materials into a photo report you keep. The report is yours whether you file a claim or pay for the work in your Centerville home yourself.

Humid air from a wet basement travels up the stairs, so the crew closes off the stairway door or hangs plastic across it before the drying equipment starts. Readings get taken upstairs too, on the walls above the basement and on the underside of the first floor, to confirm that moisture stayed where it started. Those numbers go in your Centerville file.

Start with wide photos from the bottom of the stairs, then take close ups of the sump pit and the high water line with a tape measure held against it. Phone photos carry a date and time, which helps an adjuster place the loss. Centerville Water Restoration photographs your Centerville basement too, and yours cover the hours before the crew arrived.

Water's been in your Centerville basement long enough that drying it's now a question of how much comes out and how much stays. Centerville Water Restoration dispatches to answer that with readings off the meters. Call at any hour for an inspection and a photo report of what's wet.
