Water Damage Restoration in Edgewood
Edgewood is one of the most frequently cited neighboring areas to University Heights and shares its mid century residential character. Homes were built primarily in the 1940s through 1960s and commonly feature full basements, making them vulnerable to hydrostatic pressure and sump pump failures during wet seasons. Original galvanized plumbing in this era of construction is a known source of pipe failure and interior water damage.
We have served Edgewood homeowners through the full range of water emergencies, from burst pipes and basement flooding to mold remediation and sewage cleanup. Whatever the source, our University Heights crew responds 24/7 and works with your insurance carrier on approved claims.
Water Coming Into Your Home in Edgewood? What to Do First
The first thing to do is shut off the water, either at the fixture that's leaking or at the main valve for the house. After that, stay out of wet rooms where cords or outlets are touching water until the power to that area is off.
Watch the Ceiling
When water comes through a ceiling, look for sagging or bulging before you walk under it. A ceiling holding water can come down, so keep people out of that room and leave the light fixtures there switched off.
Close the Washer Valves
If a washing machine hose has split, close the two valves on the wall behind the machine. They're the small hot and cold handles, and turning both off stops the flow to the washer.
Clear a Path
Move cars out of the driveway and clear a path to the wet area so our crew can bring hoses and equipment straight in. If the water's in the basement, make sure the stairs are clear and lit.
Call Us and Your Insurer
Call us so a crew can head your way, and report the loss to your insurance company using the number on your policy. Your policy spells out how to report a loss, so keep it close by.
What Goes Into the Photo Report on a Water Job in Edgewood?
The photo report holds pictures of where the water came from and every area it reached, along with moisture readings from each room. Our crew takes all of those photos on site, so there's nothing you need to set up for it.
The cause of the leak as our crew found it, photographed before anyone fixes or moves it.
Visible damage like swollen trim and wet carpet, photographed in every room the water reached.
Readings that show where water moved behind walls and under floors, even where the surface looks dry.
Damaged contents in each room, with photos that show the water marks on them.
What was taken out of each room and why, written up next to the photos.
We document damage with a photo report and walk you through what we found, so you can decide with your insurance company. Check your own policy before any rebuild starts. The Indiana Department of Insurance says not to make permanent repairs until your insurance company has inspected the damage.

Drying runs over several visits, and the moisture readings at the same marked spots decide when each area is done. Our crew sets up the equipment on the first visit and adjusts it at each check after that.
The First Visit
Our crew removes standing water and sets up air movers and dehumidifiers where the readings show moisture. EPA's mold guide says to dry water damaged areas and items within 24 to 48 hours to prevent mold growth, which is why drying starts right away.
Adjusting the Plan
If readings in one room stall, the crew looks for the reason, like water trapped under flooring, and changes the setup. Any change goes into the report with the date.
Closing the Drying Record
When every marked spot reads dry, the crew adds the final readings and photos to the report. Ask for the final version so you have the full record from start to finish.
Fixing the Cause
Once the job's done, get whatever caused the leak repaired, like an old supply line or a slow drain. The photo report shows where it started, which helps whoever does that repair.
