About America Water Damage

Connecting You with Water Damage Restoration Contractors in Fort Wayne, IN

America Water Damage is a nationwide network, and in Indiana that means one thing: connecting people who have water in their property with independent restoration contractors near them. The contractor does the drying and the repairs. We make the introduction and explain what to expect. NOAA's state climate summary for Indiana reports an increase in 2-inch extreme precipitation events, with the highest number on record in 2005 to 2009. On June 6 and 7, 2008, heavy rain on saturated ground caused severe flooding that affected 39 counties, and in 2015 Indianapolis had its wettest July on record at 8.7 inches above normal. The benchmark remains the Great Flood of March 1913, described as the worst flood in Indiana history, with more than 100 deaths. For owners in Fort Wayne, IN and across Indiana, that record is a reason to act early when water appears. Reach out at any time and we will connect you with a nearby restoration contractor. They handle the inspection, the drying plan and the repairs directly with you.

Why Use Our Network in Fort Wayne, IN

In Indiana, our role is to shorten the search. We take the address and the details of the loss, then connect the owner with an independent contractor who works in that area and handles that type of damage. We do no restoration work ourselves. The State of Indiana says the only construction contractors it licenses are plumbers, through the Plumbing Commission, and that many other areas require local licensing that varies by city and county.

Whichever contractor you speak with in Fort Wayne, IN, ask for a written scope and proof of insurance before agreeing to anything. Any insurance claim is handled between you and the contractor.

Frequently asked questions about water damage restoration

Questions Fort Wayne, IN homeowners and businesses ask most about water damage restoration — and clear, honest answers.

Contact Us
Does homeowners insurance cover water damage in Fort Wayne, IN?
It depends on what caused the water and on the wording of your policy, so the only reliable answer comes from your policy documents or your insurer. As a general pattern, sudden and accidental losses such as a burst pipe or a failed appliance hose are treated differently from gradual leaks and seepage. Flood is usually handled under a separate flood policy. We cannot tell you what your policy covers, and a restoration contractor in Fort Wayne, IN cannot either. What you can do right away is photograph the damage and report the loss to your insurer.
What should I do while waiting for a contractor to arrive?
If it is safe to do so, stop the water at its source by closing the main shutoff valve. Stay out of standing water that may be in contact with electrical outlets or appliances, and switch off power to affected areas only if you can reach the panel safely. Photograph and video everything before you move it, because that record is what a claim is built on. Lift furniture and soft furnishings off wet carpet where you can, and move valuables and documents to a dry room.
How soon can mold start after water damage?
Sooner than most people expect. The US Environmental Protection Agency says it is important to dry water-damaged areas and items within 24 to 48 hours to prevent mold growth. Warm, humid conditions and porous materials such as drywall, carpet pad and insulation make growth more likely. The EPA also suggests that moldy areas larger than about 10 square feet, or mold that follows extensive water damage, are a reason to consult a professional. Some states license mold work separately, so ask any contractor in Fort Wayne, IN which credential covers it.
What can be saved and what has to be removed?
It depends mainly on the material and on how contaminated the water was. Hard, non-porous surfaces can usually be cleaned and dried. Porous materials such as carpet pad, insulation and drywall are harder to save, and after contact with sewage or floodwater they generally have to be removed. Solid wood and structural framing can often be dried in place if the work starts early. A contractor should tell you what they plan to remove and why before they do it, and you can ask for that in writing.
What should I check before hiring a restoration contractor?
Check the credential that applies where you live, because the rules differ by state. Some states license contractors or require registration, some leave it to cities and counties, and a few license mold work separately. Ask for the license or registration number and verify it with the issuing body. Ask for proof of general liability insurance and, if they have employees, workers compensation cover. Ask for a written scope of work before anything is removed. Many restoration firms also hold IICRC certification, which you can ask to see.
