Storm Damage in Bridgewater, IN

Water that gets in upstairs rarely stays there, because it follows the framing down an interior wall and shows up as a damp baseboard in the room below. Bridgewater Water Restoration traces the path floor by floor on storm calls in Bridgewater, so the drying covers the wall cavity and the finished rooms on either side of it.

The surface of a hardwood floor can feel dry long before the subfloor beneath it does. Bridgewater Water Restoration reads the board and the subfloor, then tracks the floor for cupping and gaps as the days pass. In your Bridgewater home, those readings decide whether the floor dries in place or has to come up.

Equipment gets sized from the space, the affected square footage and how much wet material the rooms hold. Water from overhead that soaked ceilings, walls, insulation and carpet takes more dehumidification than a wet floor does. Air movers get aimed at wet surfaces, and the dehumidifiers get sized to the space inside containment, so there's capacity for everything the materials give off in your Bridgewater home.

Standard homeowners policies typically exclude flooding from rising surface water, which is usually covered under separate flood insurance such as an NFIP policy.

Bridgewater Water Restoration records the waterline inside your Bridgewater home, and your insurance company decides how the loss is classified.

You don't have to guess how far the water went. Bridgewater Water Restoration will map it with thermal imaging and moisture meters, show you the readings, and walk you through what they show. Crews dispatch to Bridgewater, IN at any hour, and you keep the written readings.
