Storm Damage in Devon, IN

Surface water that rises fast finds the lowest opening in your house, which is usually a basement window well, a sill plate, or the slab edge of an attached garage. It carries soil and whatever was sitting on the ground with it, so it calls for a stricter cleanup than a clean supply line break would. Devon Water Restoration dispatches to storm flooding calls in Devon within 2 hours with extraction pumps and the containment that contaminated water requires.

Ask any company that bids your storm damage to show the readings behind its scope. Devon Water Restoration puts a reading or a photo behind every line, from the tarp to the last ceiling patch in your Devon home. If another bid replaces more ceiling or more insulation, those readings are the way to compare the two apples to apples.

Wet insulation comes out. Fiberglass that's been soaked loses its R value and holds water against the ceiling board, and blown in cellulose mats down and stays that way, so Devon Water Restoration removes it, bags it, and documents the square footage and the depth for the rebuild. New insulation goes back in after the framing and the sheathing read dry, and the depth gets recorded again on the way out.

Standard homeowners policies typically exclude flooding from rising surface water, which is usually covered under separate flood insurance such as an NFIP policy. If water came in at ground level, photograph the yard and the street as well as the interior. Devon Water Restoration records the waterline inside your Devon home, and your insurance company decides how the loss is classified.

Calls from Devon come in at every hour during storm season, and Devon Water Restoration answers them day and night. Tell us where you see water and whether the power is on, and we'll talk you through what to do before the crew starts.
