Call Now (833) 502-4258Freezing weather and burst pipes
Hard freezes are one of the most common causes of storm water damage in Indiana. Pipes in exterior walls, attics, crawl spaces, and unheated garages can split, and the leak often starts only when the pipe thaws. The American Red Cross advises keeping the heat at 55°F or higher when you are away and letting faucets on exterior walls drip during extreme cold.
River and flash flooding
River and flash flooding affect many communities in Indiana. Floodwater carries sewage, chemicals, and silt, so cleanup involves removing porous materials and disinfecting, not only drying. If you are considering flood insurance, NFIP policies typically have a 30-day waiting period before coverage starts.
Severe storms and roof damage
Tornadoes and severe thunderstorms in Indiana tear off shingles and break windows, letting rain into attics and walls. Tarping the opening quickly limits how far water spreads, and wet insulation is usually replaced.
Basements and below-grade water
Many homes in Indiana have basements, often finished with drywall and carpet. Sump pump failures, sewer backups, and seepage after heavy rain are frequent sources of storm water damage, and finished basements usually need drywall cut above the water line to dry the wall cavity.
- Wind-damaged roofs
- Broken windows and doors
- Runoff into basements
- Clogged gutters
