Basement Flooding in Holliday Park, IN

The smell showed up before the water did, which is how it usually goes in a basement. An enclosed space with almost no air exchange holds moisture in cardboard, carpet pad and drywall, and the odor builds within a day or two of the material getting wet. If that's what you're dealing with, Holliday Park Water Restoration dispatches to Holliday Park within two hours to find the water and get the humidity in that space back under control.

When a sump pump stops, the first question is whether it had power. The crew looks at the breaker and the outlet where the pump plugs in, then notes any battery backup. That note goes in your Holliday Park file and can be handed to the electrician or plumber who handles the repair.

Verification is what closes the job for Holliday Park Water Restoration. Final readings get taken on every material that was wet, including the framing, the bottom plate, the subfloor and the slab, and each one gets compared against the same material somewhere in the house the water never reached. Equipment doesn't come out until those numbers are documented, and the containment comes down after the equipment.

If you plan to call your insurance company, it helps to have the facts ready. Holliday Park Water Restoration dispatches within two hours, starts the documentation at the first walkthrough and gives you the photos and readings, so the call happens with facts in your hand. Whether and when to file is your decision, and your agent can explain what your policy asks of you.
