Water Damage Restoration in Wicker Highlands
Wicker Highlands is a residential district in the western section of Highland developed largely through the 1950s and 1960s, with ranch style homes featuring full basements and plumbing systems consistent with galvanized to copper transition era construction. Its proximity to the Little Calumet River drainage basin places it in a zone of elevated hydrostatic pressure risk, where aging foundation walls can develop cracks that allow groundwater intrusion during heavy rain or snowmelt events. Sewer lateral lines in this vintage of home are also subject to root infiltration and joint failure that can lead to sanitary sewer backups during the wet weather surcharge conditions Highland's system is known to produce.
We have served Wicker Highlands homeowners through the full range of water emergencies, from burst pipes and basement flooding to mold remediation and sewage cleanup. Whatever the source, our Highland Park crew responds 24/7 and works with your insurance carrier on approved claims.
How Should You Spend the First Hour After Water Damage in Wicker Highlands?
Spend it on safety and on stopping the water, in that order. Our crew takes the photos for the photo report when they arrive, so put your energy into the valve and keeping everyone clear of the water.
Look Before You Step Down
Before you walk into a flooded basement, check where the water sits compared to outlets and any appliances on the floor. If it's touching them, stay on the stairs until the power to the basement is off.
When It's Coming From Outside
Rain or melting snow can't be shut off at a valve, so work on what's inside. Move things away from the wet wall or window and set a bucket or towels where it's dripping until our crew gets there.
Open Up the Cabinets
If water reached the kitchen or a bathroom, open the cabinet doors under the sink and take things out so the space can air out. Leave the wet cabinet bases and baseboards in place for our crew to photograph.
Call Us and Your Insurer
Call us so a crew can head your way, and report the loss to your insurance company using the number on your policy. Your policy spells out how to report a loss, so keep it close by.
What Will the Photo Report Show After a Water Leak in Wicker Highlands?
It shows the damage the way our crew found it, starting at the source and moving room by room. Photos are taken before anything is moved or torn out, so the report still shows what was wet after the carpet and drywall are gone.
The fixture or pipe where the leak began, along with the valve that stopped it, so the starting point is on record.
Ceilings and walls below the leak, photographed wherever stains or bubbling paint show up.
Readings written beside the spot they came from, so a number never gets separated from its room.
Items that can't be saved, photographed before they're hauled off so there's a record of what they were.
Before and after photos of anything removed, so the report shows each room at every stage.
We document damage with a photo report and walk you through what we found, so you can decide with your insurance company. Plan any rebuild for after your insurance company inspects. That's what the Indiana Department of Insurance advises for permanent repairs.

Drying takes more than one visit because water soaks into drywall and wood framing, and it leaves those materials slowly. Our crew comes back to take readings and move equipment until each area tests dry.
Extraction Comes First
Pulling water out with extraction equipment comes before anything else, since it clears the bulk of the water faster than drying can. Then the crew takes starting readings at marked spots and places the drying equipment.
What You'll See on a Check
You'll see the crew with a moisture meter at the same spots each time, writing down what they find. Ask them how today's readings compare with the last check.
The Readings Decide
The readings at each marked spot decide when drying is done. Ask the crew to show you the final numbers for each spot before the equipment comes out.
If Something Changes Later
If you notice a new damp spot weeks later, call us and mention the original job so the crew can check the same spots again.
