Expert Storm Damage for Andover Homeowners
After a storm opens the roof, two jobs have to happen in order. The opening gets covered so nothing else gets in, then the water comes out of the insulation and the wall cavity while the permanent repair gets scheduled. Andover Water Restoration handles both on Andover, IN storm calls and dispatches within 2 hours, day or night.
Storm jobs run around the weather. Andover Water Restoration keeps the temporary cover on your Andover home checked after every rain while the drying runs, and the crew rereads the materials under it if water gets past. The drying plan follows the date of the permanent repair, so the ceiling goes back only after the cavity reads dry.
Windows and doors that took wind driven rain get a closer look at the wall base. Baseboard and casing come off in the wet zone, and small holes go in so a camera or probe can see the cavity behind. If the bottom plate and the insulation read wet, ports are cut for drying. If they read dry, the trim goes back on.
Storm damage that sat for a while raises questions, so the file gets built to answer them. Andover Water Restoration documents the condition of the materials as found in your Andover home, notes where newer damage has already started and photographs both. You decide with your insurance company what that record means, and the photos make it clearer than anybody's memory would.
If your insurance company is sending an adjuster, call Andover Water Restoration before the rooms get cleared out. The crew photographs the damage as it sits and logs the readings, so your Andover file is complete when the adjuster arrives.

How Andover Water Restoration Handles Storm Damage
We follow these steps in order on every Andover job.
Storm Call Intake
The first call covers where you see water, whether the power is on, how long it's been coming in and what's already been moved. Those answers decide what gear goes out and what to do before the crew gets there.
Moisture Mapping
Thermal imaging and penetrating meters cover every room under and beside the intrusion, plus baseline readings in unaffected areas of the same house. The map shows how far water tracked through framing and insulation, and it's what decides which surfaces get opened.
Wall Cavity Inspection
Baseboards and window trim come off where readings run high, and small inspection holes show whether the cavity behind them holds water. Windows and doors that took wind driven rain usually leave the wall base wet first.
Contaminated Material Removal
Porous materials soaked by floodwater, such as carpet and the lower drywall, get cut out and bagged for disposal. Cut heights are photographed and recorded, so the scope and your file show what came out and why.
Clearance Verification
Final moisture readings are taken on every affected material at the same marked locations and compared against the unaffected baseline recorded at the start. Equipment comes out once that comparison's documented, containment follows, and the verification sheet goes into your file.
