Storms here can bring damaging wind. If your insurance company asks for a storm date, NWS Indianapolis keeps a list of past events.
Where Storm Water Ends Up
With full basements common here, a big storm can bring water in from below as well as through the roof. That makes it a basement flooding job too.
After a storm we can be anywhere in Trafalgar, from Original Town Core to the roads around Indian Creek Middle School and Indian Creek Elementary School. We also handle storm damage in Morgantown, Franklin, Bargersville and Edinburgh.
Expert Storm Damage for Trafalgar Homeowners
Water that gets in upstairs rarely stays there, because it follows the framing down an interior wall and shows up as a damp baseboard in the room below. Trafalgar Water Restoration traces the path floor by floor on storm calls in Trafalgar, so the drying covers the wall cavity and the finished rooms on either side of it.
The crew sets the dry target from your own house on a storm job. On the first visit it reads drywall, framing and flooring in parts of your Trafalgar home the water never reached, and those readings become the goal. Trafalgar Water Restoration keeps the equipment running until the wet materials match it, and you get the final numbers in writing.
Each floor type dries on its own schedule: hardwood gets drying mats or panels that pull moisture up through the boards, and carpet is either lifted and dried or removed with its pad, depending on how clean the water was. Trafalgar Water Restoration reads the subfloor under all of it before the floor is called dry in your Trafalgar home.
Keep a running log of every call with your insurance company: the date, the person you spoke with, the claim number and what was said. Trafalgar Water Restoration keeps its own log of readings and approvals on your Trafalgar job, with the photos attached, so the paperwork from our side lines up with yours if anyone asks questions later.
If you smell damp air every time it rains, something in the assembly's still holding water. Trafalgar Water Restoration will find it, show you the readings, and dry it out. Crews dispatch to Trafalgar at any hour, and you get the photo report the same day.

How Trafalgar Water Restoration Handles Storm Damage
We follow these steps in order on every Trafalgar job.
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.
Progress Review With You
Partway through the job the technician walks the rooms with you and compares today's readings to the first day's. You hear which rooms are dry and which are lagging, and changes to the plan get approved before they happen.
Photo Report
Entry point photos, the water path, the daily readings and the itemized scope go into a photo report you keep. The crew walks you through it, and you sign off on the scope in writing before there's any demolition.
Final Walkthrough
Once the clearance readings are documented, the equipment comes out and the technician walks the rooms with you. The removed materials and the photo file get reviewed together so you know what repairs come next.
Reconstruction and Finish Work
Insulation goes back to the recorded depth, ceiling board gets hung, taped and finished, texture is matched to the existing surface, then paint, trim, flooring and anything else that came out. The rebuild follows the measurements taken during the drying.
