About Murphys Addition

Water Damage Restoration in Murphys Addition

Murphys Addition is a traditional residential subdivision platted within Albany's older town fabric, likely reflecting early to mid 20th century development consistent with the town's growth during and after the natural gas boom era. Homes in this addition are characteristic of pre war and immediate post war construction in East-Central Indiana,frame structures over full basements with galvanized supply lines now at or past their 50-to-70 year service life. Basement flooding from storm sewer surcharges, chronic sump pump dependency, and supply line corrosion failures are the dominant water damage risk patterns for properties in this addition.

We have served Murphys Addition homeowners through the full range of water emergencies, from burst pipes and basement flooding to mold remediation and sewage cleanup. Whatever the source, our Albany crew responds 24/7 and works with your insurance carrier on approved claims.

The First Hour

What Should You Do First When Water Gets Into a Home in Murphys Addition?

Shut off the water and keep people out of any room where water is near outlets or a sagging ceiling. Once that's handled, the rest of the first hour goes to protecting your things and making a couple of calls.

1

Put the Vacuum Away

A household vacuum can short out or shock you when it picks up water. Leave standing water for the extraction equipment our crew brings, and keep cords up off the wet floor.

2

Stop Using Water Upstairs

If water is rising out of a basement floor drain, stop flushing toilets and hold off on laundry. Any water that goes down a drain upstairs can add to the backup until the line gets checked.

3

Hang Small Rugs to Dry

Throw rugs can go over a railing or a tub in a dry part of the house. Leave wall to wall carpet and its pad in place, since our crew checks and photographs them before deciding what can be dried.

4

Have Your Policy Handy

Find your homeowners policy or your insurance app so the policy number is easy to reach. Having it ready makes the call to your insurance company quicker once the water's off.

Photo Report

What Records Does Our Crew Keep on a Water Job in Murphys Addition?

Our crew keeps one photo report for your job, with pictures and moisture readings from the first visit through the last check. It grows each time the crew comes back, so the full drying history stays in one place.

The first wet spot our crew traced the water back to, with a photo that shows what failed there.

Wide photos of each affected room that show how far the water spread across the floor.

Readings that show where water moved behind walls and under floors, even where the surface looks dry.

Things stored on the floor, like boxes in a basement, photographed where the water reached them.

What was taken out of each room and why, written up next to the photos.

We document damage with a photo report and walk you through what we found, so you can decide with your insurance company. Check your own policy for what it covers and how it wants a loss reported.

Drying

How Does Drying Work Over the Next Few Days in Murphys Addition?

Drying runs over several visits, and the moisture readings at the same marked spots decide when each area is done. Our crew sets up the equipment on the first visit and adjusts it at each check after that.

1

Setting the Starting Point

The first visit sets the starting point, with photos of every wet area and readings at spots the crew labels on a sketch. Those labels stay the same on every later visit so the progress is easy to follow.

2

Checking Hidden Areas

The crew also checks under cabinets and inside walls, where moisture can stay after the surface feels dry. Those readings go on the same sketch as the rest of the room.

3

Closing the Drying Record

When every marked spot reads dry, the crew adds the final readings and photos to the report. Ask for the final version so you have the full record from start to finish.

4

Talking About Repairs

With drying done, the crew walks you through what was removed and what needs to be put back. Check your policy before repairs start, since your insurance company may want to see the damage first.
