How Fortville Water Restoration Handles Storm Damage
Every job follows the same three-step process. Transparent, thorough, and done right the first time.
Emergency Stabilization
Tarping compromised roof sections to stop active water entry. Board up of damaged windows or wall openings with appropriately sized plywood. Stabilization continues until water entry is fully stopped. Photos document the wind or hail compromise.
Water Extraction
Water extraction equipment removes standing water. Saturated insulation removed and bagged for disposal. Wet carpet pad removed where moisture content cannot be reduced safely. Photos document every extraction location.
Rapid Dispatch

Truck arrives with emergency tarping materials, plywood for board up, extraction equipment, dehumidifiers, air movers, and moisture inspection tools. Stabilization begins after the free inspection.
Final Inspection and Reconstruction
