A lot of the housing in Valley Mills went up between the 1970s and the 1990s. Copper supply lines in the older houses here are reaching the age where pinhole leaks start.

We cover every part of Valley Mills, including River Valley and the streets around Indianapolis International Airport and Valley Mills Elementary School. Nearby, we also take water damage calls from Ameriplex, Southern Dunes, Camby and West Newton.

Expert Water Damage Restoration for Valley Mills Homeowners

A refrigerator ice maker line is a thin plastic or copper tube, and when it cracks behind the fridge in your Valley Mills kitchen, the water can run for days before it shows. It spreads under the flooring and into the cabinets beside it. Pull the fridge out only if you can do it without standing in water. Valley Mills Water Restoration reads the floor and the cabinet bases next to the fridge first, since that's where the water spreads.

Material that has to come out gets removed with the repair in mind. Baseboards come off carefully so they can go back up, and drywall gets cut along straight lines at a measured height. Valley Mills Water Restoration covers the floors that stay in your Valley Mills home and keeps dust inside the work area, so the rest of the house stays usable.

Before a pump starts, the crew walks the wet area in your Valley Mills home looking for hazards. Any circuit that touches the water gets shut off at the panel, and the source gets closed at the nearest valve. Valley Mills Water Restoration photographs the room as it was found, so the first pictures show the house before anyone moved anything.

Keep the part that failed, because a cracked supply line or a split fitting shows how the water started and your insurance company may ask to see it or a photo of it. Valley Mills Water Restoration photographs the failed part where it sits in your Valley Mills home, and your plumber's invoice adds a written note about the cause.

Take a few photos of the water and the spot it came from, then phone Valley Mills Water Restoration about your Valley Mills home. Those pictures start your record, and the crew adds its own photos and readings on the first visit, so the file is complete from the first day of the job.

Our Process

How Valley Mills Water Restoration Handles Water Damage Restoration

We follow these steps in order on every Valley Mills job.

1

The First Call

You describe where the water is coming from in your Valley Mills home and which rooms it has reached. Valley Mills Water Restoration talks you through shutting off the water and power safely, and tells you what to leave in place so the crew can photograph it.

2

Photo Report

Photos, readings and the scope go into a photo report you keep. The crew walks you through it, so you can decide with your insurance company, and you sign off on the scope before any removal starts.

3

Extraction and Containment

Pumps and extraction tools remove the standing water. Plastic containment goes up where the water is contaminated, soaked pad and insulation get bagged for disposal, and an EPA registered antimicrobial goes on the surfaces that stay.

4

Opening Wall Cavities

Small holes near the baseboard, or a thin strip of drywall removed along the floor, give dry air a path into wet wall cavities. The crew reads the framing inside before deciding how much more of the wall has to open.

5

Structural Drying

Air movers and dehumidifiers get placed for the size of each wet room. The crew logs readings every day, and drying continues until the wet materials match the dry readings taken elsewhere in your home.

Common Questions

Water Damage Restoration FAQ

Questions Valley Mills homeowners ask us about water damage restoration.

A small leak is worth a call, because a slow drip under a sink or a faint ceiling stain can leave a lot of water inside cabinets and wall cavities in your Valley Mills home, and what you see is often a fraction of what's wet. The crew takes readings to learn how far the moisture spread and tells you whether the area can dry in place. Valley Mills Water Restoration gives small jobs the same photo report and daily readings as larger ones.
Each company decides how much to remove and how long to run equipment, and those choices drive the numbers. One estimate might cut drywall higher up the wall or count more days of drying than another. Ask for the readings behind each line. Valley Mills Water Restoration ties every item on the scope for your Valley Mills home to a measurement or a photo, which gives you something concrete to hold up against any other estimate.
It can, and your policy says how. Some policies treat a pipe that burst differently from a leak that dripped for months, so check yours or ask your agent. Valley Mills Water Restoration photographs what the crew finds in your Valley Mills home, like fresh water, old stains or rot, and records the readings. You decide with your insurance company what that record means for your situation.
The IICRC S500 is the Standard for Professional Water Damage Restoration, published by the IICRC. The current version is the Fifth Edition from 2021. Valley Mills Water Restoration uses it as the reference for water damage work in Valley Mills. What you'll see on your job is the crew measuring before removing anything and logging readings until the house is dry.
Wet drywall, wood and subfloor hold water inside them, and it comes out slowly. The air movers pull water off the surfaces, and the dehumidifiers take it out of the air, so the materials can keep giving up more. Dense wood and plaster give it up slowest. Valley Mills Water Restoration runs the equipment around the clock and checks the readings daily, and the equipment comes out when the numbers say the house is dry.
Yes, because water can move up a category the longer it sits. Clean water from a supply line starts as Category 1, but it picks up contaminants from flooring and dust, and standing water gives that process more time. Valley Mills Water Restoration records when the loss started and how long the materials stayed wet in your Valley Mills home, because those times affect which materials can be dried and which have to be removed.
Clues include a musty smell that keeps coming back, paint that bubbles, stains that keep growing and drywall that feels soft. You can't see inside a wall, so the crew reads it with moisture meters and a thermal camera and opens a small section when the numbers call for it. Valley Mills Water Restoration photographs what the crew finds in your Valley Mills home and walks you through whether the area needs drying alone or mold work as well.
Start with safety. If water is near outlets or the panel, shut off power to those circuits from a dry spot. If the water came from a sewer line, keep people and pets away from it. Shut off the main water valve if you can reach it. Then move small items off wet floors and leave the rest in place so the crew can photograph it for your report.
A shop vac pulls up a little standing water, and household fans move air around the room. Neither one removes the water soaked into a subfloor, the bottom of a wall or the insulation behind it. Commercial dehumidifiers pull that water out of the air so the materials can keep drying, and moisture meters show when they're done. Valley Mills Water Restoration brings that equipment to every job in Valley Mills.
That depends on what had to come out. Common repairs include replacing sections of drywall and insulation, patching and painting, reinstalling baseboards and laying new pad and carpet or flooring where it was removed. If the source wasn't repaired yet, the plumber's work comes first. Valley Mills Water Restoration gives you a list of what came out of your Valley Mills home with photos, so whoever handles the repairs starts from the same facts.
