Severe thunderstorms come through in spring and summer. If your insurance company asks for a storm date, NWS Indianapolis keeps a list of past events.
Where Storm Water Ends Up
Homes near Little Pipe Creek and Pipe Creek can see rising water after heavy rain. 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 Converse, from North Jefferson Street / Maple Street Area to the roads around Oak Hill High School and Bordermen Park. We also handle storm damage in Peru, Swayzee, Somerset and Amboy.
Expert Storm Damage for Converse 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. Converse Water Restoration traces the path floor by floor on storm calls in Converse, so the drying covers the wall cavity and the finished rooms on either side of it.
Winter storms bring their own kind of water damage, from ice dams at the eaves to water that froze in the roof deck and melts all at once. Converse Water Restoration reads the ceilings and walls under the eaves in your Converse home after a thaw and dries what's wet before the drywall softens. The readings go in your file each day.
Electrical safety comes first once the crew is inside. The technician looks for water around outlets and light fixtures and keeps affected circuits off. Rooms with a bowed ceiling stay empty until the cavity is opened. If standing water reaches the panel in your Converse basement, an electrician gets called before anyone enters the room.
Your policy may treat surface water and flooding at grade differently from rain that came through a storm opening, so check which policies you carry before you assume either way. Converse Water Restoration documents the storm loss the same way either way on Converse jobs, because the file is identical work: cause, entry point, category, readings, scope. If you're paying out of pocket, that file is how you know the price matches the damage.
Call Converse Water Restoration before you pull the insulation down yourself. The photos your carrier wants come first, and the crew that takes them is dispatched to your Converse home within 2 hours. We'll get the water out, dry the assembly to a documented number, and put the ceiling back after.

How Converse Water Restoration Handles Storm Damage
We follow these steps in order on every Converse job.
Power and Safety Check
The crew looks for water near outlets and light fixtures and keeps affected circuits off. Sagging ceilings and slick floors get marked before anyone starts work, and wet electrical gear gets flagged for an electrician.
Water Source Call
The crew checks where the water came in and what it touched on the way, and photographs the entry point. Floodwater that came in at grade gets containment and protective gear before any work starts.
Sump and Drain Check
The crew looks at the sump basin and the floor drains to see whether water is still entering or backing up. Anything that needs a plumber or an electrician gets noted, so the basement isn't refilling while the drying runs.
Contents Protection
Furniture legs get blocked off wet flooring and small items move out of the water's reach, with photos taken of anything that shifts. Rugs and boxes in a flooded basement come up off the floor before extraction starts.
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.
