Basement Flooding in Thorntown, IN

A window well drains into the same saturated soil that surrounds your Thorntown foundation, so during a long rain it fills like a bucket. Water stands against the glass and the frame seal until some of it finds a way in, and the carpet edge under the window usually soaks first. Thorntown Water Restoration dries what got in and photographs the well and the window for whoever repairs them.

Most of what people store in a basement sits on the floor, so Thorntown Water Restoration deals with contents early.

That list goes into your photo report, which helps if you decide to file a claim for your belongings.

Insulation type decides what happens to it in a finished basement wall. Fiberglass batts that soaked come out of the bay because they hold water and dry slowly. Rigid foam board and closed cell spray foam resist water, so they can often stay once the wall behind them reads dry, and the crew photographs the readings behind each call in your Thorntown home.
