Our Scientific Water Damage Restoration Process
Properly restoring a water-damaged property is a science. We follow a meticulous, industry-leading process to ensure no moisture is left behind, protecting you from future problems like mold and wood rot.
- Emergency Response & Assessment: Our team arrives quickly to stop the source of the water if needed. We then use advanced moisture detection equipment to assess the extent of the damage, identifying all affected areas—even those hidden behind walls.
- Professional Water Extraction: We use powerful, truck-mounted and portable extraction units to remove the bulk of the standing water quickly and efficiently.
- Structural Drying & Dehumidification: We strategically place high-velocity air movers and industrial-strength dehumidifiers to create optimal drying conditions. This removes the remaining moisture from structural materials like wood framing, drywall, and flooring.
- Cleaning, Sanitizing & Mold Prevention: After drying, we thoroughly clean all affected surfaces. We use professional-grade sanitizers and anti-microbial treatments to prevent the growth of mold, a critical step explained by resources like the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
- Complete Restoration & Reconstruction: Our job isn’t finished until your property is back to normal. As a full-service general contractor, we have the in-house teams to handle all necessary repairs and reconstruction. Our construction services cover everything from replacing drywall and flooring to complete kitchen and bathroom remodeling. We manage all the details, including any necessary plumbing repairs, electrical work, and repairs to your roof or siding.

Frequently Asked Questions About Water Damage
What should I do first when I discover water damage?
First, if it is safe to do so, stop the source of the water (e.g., turn off the main water valve). Do not use any electrical appliances or outlets in the affected area. Then, call our 24/7 emergency line at 219-400-8050. The faster you call, the more damage we can prevent.
How long does the drying process take?
The drying process typically takes 3 to 5 days, but this can vary depending on the extent of the water damage, the materials involved, and the humidity levels. Our technicians will monitor the progress daily with moisture meters to ensure your property is completely and verifiably dry.
My basement only has a little water. Do I still need a professional?
Yes. Even a small amount of water can quickly seep into drywall, carpet padding, and wall cavities, creating a hidden breeding ground for mold. Professional extraction and drying are necessary to remove this trapped moisture and prevent costly and hazardous mold problems down the road.
