Schedule Your Free Damage Assessment
Our inspections in University Heights homes are room by room and deliberate, not a quick glance. Technicians measure walls with non penetrating meters at multiple heights, check baseboards and trim, probe subfloors, pull insulation from suspect cavities, and inspect behind cabinets and appliances, under sinks, around water heaters and washing machines, and along basement perimeters and slab joints where hydrostatic pressure often shows up first. We use thermal imaging cameras to spot temperature differentials that reveal hidden moisture, penetrating meters to confirm those readings, and a hygrometer to log ambient conditions. Thorough moisture mapping is what prevents the most expensive problem in water restoration for University Heights homeowners, hidden pockets of dampness that quietly feed mold growth weeks after the visible water is gone.

University Heights homes face their share of water problems. Sump pumps fail in the heavy storms that roll through Marion County every spring. Burst supply lines flood basements during the cold snaps that hit central Indiana most winters. Aging clay sewer mains back up into laundry rooms across the older neighborhoods. Whatever caused the water in your home, the response window is the same. Drying needs to start within hours, not days, or you start losing materials that could have been saved.
Reconstruction closes the loop. Once University Heights structures are verified dry, the same coordinated approach handles drywall, paint, trim, and flooring, so homeowners aren't hiring a second company to finish what the first one opened.
Water damage restoration near University Heights is a crowded search result. The filter that works: who answers now, who shows readings, who writes scopes, and who local homeowners actually recommend. Apply it to everyone, including us.

University Heights Water Restoration is a University Heights water restoration company built around documented work and local accountability. We respond to burst pipes, basement floods, sewage backups, storm intrusion, and mold work across University Heights and surrounding Marion County. License #RC21100059. The crew that pulls up is the crew that handles your job from extraction through reconstruction. Free inspections with no obligation.
University Heights Water Restoration was founded in 2018 by Aaron Christy, and we have built our reputation serving University Heights homeowners across Marion County and the broader south side of Indianapolis. Our service area covers University Heights and surrounding communities including Garfield Park, Beech Grove, Southport, Edgewood, and Rosedale Hills, dispatching crews wherever the water is. The company is licensed and insured under Indiana license RC21100059, and our field work is led by IICRC certified technicians who understand what an older University Heights basement or a mid century bungalow actually needs when things go wrong. When a panicked call comes in at 2 a.m., you get experienced people, not a sales pitch.
Our restoration work follows the IICRC S500 standard for water damage and the IICRC S520 standard for any mold remediation, which means the process in University Heights is systematic rather than improvised. Every job opens with a moisture assessment using thermal imaging and meters to map where water has traveled behind walls, under flooring, and into insulation cavities. Extraction is controlled and staged, structural drying is monitored with logged readings, and antimicrobial treatment is applied when the category and materials warrant it. We verify materials are back to dry standard before any reconstruction begins. That order matters, because rushing to close up wet cavities is how mold problems appear thirty days later.
Our Promise
We make three commitments to University Heights homeowners. First, fast emergency response, with crews dispatched day or night through our 24 7 line so a burst pipe or sewage backup does not sit for hours. Second, IICRC certified technicians trained to the S500 standard on every water loss, so the work meets the same protocols insurance carriers expect to see documented. Third, a free on site inspection before any work is scoped, and full coordination with your insurance carrier if you have an active claim.
Credentials and Follow Through in University Heights
IICRC certified crews, thorough moisture mapping, and honest scoping on every University Heights water loss, transparent line items and no shortcuts in the walls.
around the clock Emergency Response
Water damage in University Heights does not wait for business hours, and neither do we. Our 24 7 emergency line dispatches crews with extraction equipment, dehumidifiers, and air movers already loaded on the truck. Every hour without extraction expands the damage into more materials, so priority dispatch matters.
IICRC S500 Certified Crews
Our technicians are trained to the IICRC S500 standard, the recognized benchmark for professional water damage restoration. In practice that means proper Category determination, correct extraction sequencing, structural drying calculations, and documented moisture readings. It is the difference between a home that dries clean and one that hides problems in the walls.
Mitigation Through Rebuild
University Heights homeowners get one crew from the first extraction through the final coat of paint. We handle drywall, flooring, trim, and finish work in house rather than handing you off to a separate general contractor. One project manager, one schedule, one point of contact through the whole job.
Insurance Coordination Handled
We work with your insurance carrier directly, documenting every affected area with photos, meter readings, and a written scope that adjusters recognize. Most major insurance carriers expect prompt mitigation and clean documentation, and that is exactly what our paperwork delivers. You focus on your family, we handle the claim side.

How a University Heights Restoration Comes Together
The first phase on any University Heights loss is moisture assessment and Category determination. A certified technician walks the property, uses thermal imaging and moisture meters to map where water has traveled, and identifies the source, whether that is a broken supply line under a sink, a failed washing machine hose, a sewer backup in the basement, or storm intrusion through a compromised opening. Per IICRC S500, water is classified as Category 1 (clean), Category 2 (gray), or Category 3 (black), because that classification drives everything that follows. This walkthrough typically takes one to two hours before drying equipment is placed.
The second phase is insurance coordination and documentation. Before any mitigation begins, we photograph and video every affected area, log meter readings into a written moisture map, and open a direct line with your insurance adjuster. Scope of work is matched to what your policy covers, and our mitigation justification is documented to the standard adjusters expect. Most University Heights homeowners never touch the paperwork side, we handle it with the carrier while the crew handles the water. This is where a properly certified restoration company earns its keep on a claim.
The third phase is drying execution followed by controlled reconstruction. Air movers and commercial dehumidifiers are placed based on structural drying calculations for the affected square footage, then monitored daily with logged readings until materials reach dry standard, meaning moisture content matches unaffected areas of the home. Demolition is controlled and only performed where materials cannot be dried in place. Once the structure is verified dry, reconstruction begins, drywall, insulation, flooring, paint, and trim carried through to complete the repair so the home is fully restored rather than left in a half finished state.
Priority Emergency Dispatch
When you call our 24 7 line, crews are routed to University Heights with extraction equipment, dehumidifiers, and thermal imaging already on the truck. A certified technician leads the crew on site so assessment and mitigation can begin without waiting on a second visit.
S500 Category Determination
Every loss is classified per IICRC S500 as Category 1 (clean water from supply lines or appliance overflow), Category 2 (gray water from dishwashers or washing machines), or Category 3 (black water including sewage and floodwater). Meter readings and photos are logged from the start.
Insurance Claim Partnership
We work with your insurance carrier, providing the documentation adjusters need to approve scope and payment. Photos, moisture maps, and written mitigation reports are prepared to industry standard. Transparent line items, no gaps in the record.
Verified Dry Before Rebuild
Structures are monitored daily with logged moisture readings until materials confirm dry to standard. Only then does reconstruction begin. Skipping that verification is how mold problems return, and we do not close walls on wet framing.
Water Damage Sources in University Heights
University Heights homes typically call us about these six water damage scenarios.
Foundation and Groundwater Intrusion
Heavy rain over saturated ground forces water against foundations harder than most homeowners realize. Older University Heights foundations weren’t designed for the rainfall intensities this region now sees.
Ice Dam Meltwater in the Wall
Heat escaping the ceiling melts snow on the deck above, the meltwater runs to the cold eave, and it refreezes into a dam. Water backs up behind that ice and gets drawn under the shingles by capillary action, which is how a five year old roof leaks in February.
HVAC Condensate Line and Pan
The secondary pan under an attic unit is a warning device, not a solution. If it is holding water, the primary line is already blocked. University Heights homes find this out in July, usually as a brown ring spreading across a bedroom ceiling.
Fire Sprinkler Discharge
Freeze is the most common accidental discharge we see, usually in an unheated stairwell, attic, or unconditioned storage room. The head splits, the system charges it, and the building takes the flow until somebody closes the valve.
Sump Pump Failure
The single most common call we get from University Heights homeowners. Power outage during a storm, pump motor burns out, or the float switch fails. By the time you notice, the basement has 2 to 6 inches of water.
Burst Supply Lines
Indiana winters drop below freezing for weeks at a time. University Heights homes with poorly insulated supply lines see pipes freeze, expand, and burst. The damage shows up when the thaw begins and water starts flowing.
Three Simple Steps
From emergency call to job complete, we follow a disciplined IICRC-certified process on every University Heights water restoration project.
The Emergency Line
The response window is short, so we treat it that way. Everything needed to start is on the truck. One call to our 24/7 line puts a crew on the road within 2 hours.
Scope and Photos
Hidden moisture is the whole reason this step exists. Full moisture map, Category classification per IICRC S500, photos and readings logged. We build the file the way adjusters expect to receive it.
Dry Standard Reached
Dry means measured dry, typically 3 to 5 days on a University Heights loss. The log is yours at closeout. Standing water first, hidden moisture second, reconstruction last.
Indiana Weather Drives Restoration Calls Year Round
Water damage calls in University Heights follow the Indiana seasons closely. Spring rain saturates the flat glacial till and pushes groundwater through basement walls, summer thunderstorms overwhelm aging south side sewer lines and back water up through floor drains, and January cold snaps split supply lines in exterior walls and crawlspaces overnight.
Spring Saturation Flooding
Central Indiana springs dump heavy rain onto flat glacial till, and University Heights basements often take the hit. Saturated soil pushes groundwater through foundation cracks and slab joints, while overwhelmed sewer lines back up through floor drains. When called, we extract standing water, set dehumidification, and treat contamination if the source was sanitary.
Winter Pipe Bursts
Freeze thaw cycles are hard on older Indianapolis supply lines, and a cold snap overnight is enough to split a pipe in an exterior wall or unheated crawlspace. Water often runs for hours before the homeowner sees it. We extract, open affected cavities for drying, and coordinate with your plumber on the repair before we close things back up.
Severe Thunderstorms
Indiana summer storms bring wind driven rain that finds every weak point, from window seals to foundation openings. In University Heights, low lying yards and clay soil mean water pools fast and pushes inside. Our crews respond with extraction equipment, containment plastic, and drying setups sized to how far the water traveled.
Ice Dam Leaks
When snow melts unevenly and refreezes at eaves, water backs up and finds its way into ceilings and upper walls. By the time stains appear, insulation is often saturated. We map the moisture with thermal imaging, dry the cavities properly, and address any mold risk before finish materials go back.
