Schedule Your Free Damage Assessment

Every Edgewood inspection starts with a room by room walkthrough of the affected zones and the rooms immediately adjacent, because water travels along framing and pools in places the homeowner never sees. We measure walls at multiple heights with non penetrating meters, check baseboards and trim, probe subfloors, pull insulation in suspect cavities, and look behind cabinets, under sinks, around water heaters and washing machines, and along basement perimeters and slab joints. Thermal imaging maps temperature differentials that flag hidden moisture, a penetrating moisture meter confirms readings inside materials, and a hygrometer logs ambient humidity. For older Edgewood homes with plaster walls and finished basements, this mapping is what prevents the most expensive failure in water restoration: hidden saturation that fuels mold colonies 30 days after everything looked dry on the surface.

About Us

Local Expertise, Real Results

Restoration done by people who do this every day, document every reading, and answer the phone when the second event happens.

Across Edgewood and Madison County, Edgewood Water Restoration crews handle water damage in homes from Edgewood starter properties through larger estates. The scope changes with each project, but the standards do not. Documented inspection. Written scope. Daily moisture readings. Verified drying. Closeout in writing. Free inspection on every call.

Edgewood Water Restoration serves Edgewood homeowners with residential water damage restoration, basement flood cleanup, sewage remediation, and storm response across Madison County and the surrounding communities of Anderson, Pendleton, Chesterfield, Lapel, Alexandria, and River Forest. Restoration is what we do every day, not a side service tacked onto something else, and that focus shows up in the calls we take at 3 AM from Edgewood basements with three inches of standing water. Our crews are IICRC certified technicians working under a licensed and insured company. When a panicked Edgewood homeowner calls, the first job is to slow the situation down, get equipment moving, and give straight answers about what comes next.

Our process follows the IICRC S500 standard for water damage restoration and the S520 standard for any mold remediation work that follows. That means an initial moisture assessment with thermal imaging and calibrated meters before equipment goes in, controlled extraction matched to the water Category, structural drying with monitored air movement and dehumidification, antimicrobial application where contamination warrants it, and post drying verification before any reconstruction begins. For Edgewood homes, where 60 to 100 year old plumbing often hides moisture inside lath and plaster or behind original baseboards, that mapping step is the difference between a clean dry out and a callback for mold six weeks later.

Our Promise

We make three commitments to every Edgewood homeowner who calls. First, fast emergency response any time of day or night, with equipment on the truck and a certified technician leading the crew. Second, IICRC certified work trained to the S500 standard for water and S520 for mold, with documentation that holds up to any adjuster review. Third, a free on site inspection before any work begins, and full insurance coordination if you have an active claim so you are not stuck translating between your carrier and the restoration scope.

Why Edgewood Chooses Us

Trained, Insured, and Based Near Edgewood

IICRC certified work, thorough moisture mapping before equipment goes in, and clear scope written in plain language so Edgewood homeowners know what the job costs before it starts.

around the clock Emergency Response

Water damage does not wait for business hours, and neither do we. Call our 24 7 emergency line and we dispatch a certified crew to your Edgewood property with extraction equipment, dehumidifiers, and air movers already loaded. Every hour without extraction expands the damage into framing, flooring, and contents, so we move fast from the first call.

IICRC S500 Trained Crews

Our technicians are trained to the IICRC S500 standard for water damage restoration, which governs how water is classified, how drying is documented, and when a material is considered dry. That standard is the reason adjusters take our scope seriously. For you, it means the work follows a published protocol, not a guess.

Mitigation Through Rebuild

We handle the full project: extraction, structural drying, controlled demolition, mold remediation when needed, and reconstruction including drywall, flooring, paint, and trim. Edgewood homeowners do not have to find a separate contractor to put the house back together after the dry out. One company, one scope, one schedule.

Insurance Coordination Built In

We work with your insurance carrier directly, providing the photos, moisture readings, and itemized scope adjusters need to approve the claim cleanly. Most major insurance carriers recognize IICRC-documented mitigation, so the file moves faster. You focus on your family, we handle the paperwork conversations.

Our Process

Response, Drying, and Rebuild in Edgewood

The first phase is moisture assessment and Category determination at your Edgewood property. We walk the affected areas with thermal imaging and moisture meters, identify the source (broken supply line, dishwasher overflow, sewage backup, storm driven intrusion, or sump pump failure), and classify the water as Category 1, 2, or 3 per the IICRC S500 standard. The full scope of saturation is mapped before any drying equipment goes in, because placing air movers without knowing where the water traveled just spreads contamination. This assessment phase typically takes one to two hours depending on the size of the loss.

Second is insurance coordination and documentation. Before mitigation begins, we capture photo and video of every affected area, log meter readings into a written moisture map, and put the scope of work in writing matched to your coverage. We then make direct contact with your insurance adjuster, justify the mitigation steps per industry standard, and answer questions about Category, materials affected, and drying timeline. Most Edgewood homeowners never have to translate restoration language into claim language, we handle that conversation with the carrier so you can focus on getting your house back.

Third is drying execution and reconstruction. Air movers and dehumidifiers are placed based on structural drying calculations for the affected square footage and material types, then monitored daily with logged readings until materials reach dry standard, meaning moisture content matched to unaffected reference points in the same home. Controlled demolition happens only where materials cannot be dried in place. Then reconstruction follows: drywall hung and finished, insulation replaced, flooring reset, paint and trim completed, so the Edgewood home is returned to pre loss condition before we close the file.

Rapid Emergency Dispatch

Call comes in, crew rolls out. The truck arrives loaded with commercial extraction equipment, dehumidifiers, air movers, and meters, led by an IICRC certified technician. We start mitigation on arrival, not after a second truck shows up with the tools.

Category Determination per S500

Every Edgewood job starts with classifying the water under the IICRC S500 protocol: Category 1 clean, Category 2 gray, Category 3 black. Meter readings get logged, the source gets documented, and the written assessment drives the scope. No guessing, no shortcuts.

Insurance Carrier Coordination

We work with your insurance carrier from the first day, providing photo documentation, moisture mapping, and an itemized scope that matches industry standards. The justification is in writing so the adjuster has everything needed to approve mitigation without surprise line items later.

Drying to Verified Dry Standard

Air movers and dehumidifiers run with daily monitoring and logged meter readings. Materials are confirmed dry against unaffected reference points before any reconstruction starts. We do not pack up equipment because the calendar says it is time, we pack up when the readings say the structure is dry.

Watch for these in Edgewood

Common Water Damage Causes in Edgewood

01

Slab Leak Under the Floor

A supply line under a slab can leak a long time before anything looks wrong. The early signs are a warm patch on the floor, a water bill that climbed for no reason, or one section of flooring that lifted while everything around it stayed flat.

02

Refrigerator Ice Maker Line

That quarter inch line feeding the ice maker is the smallest supply in the house and the one nobody looks at. It gets pinched when the refrigerator slides back, then weeps behind the unit where nothing is visible until the flooring cups.

03

Sump Pump Failure

The single most common call we get from Edgewood homeowners. Power outage during a storm, pump motor burns out, or the float switch fails. By the time you notice, the basement has 2 to 6 inches of water.

04

Vacant Property Freeze

Heat turned down to save money is the usual starting point. Set it too low, or lose a furnace with nobody there to notice, and the pipes in the exterior walls freeze on the first hard night. By the time a realtor opens the door, ceilings are on the floor.

05

Toilet Wax Ring and Flange Failure

Any toilet that rocks slightly under you has already broken its seal. Every flush sends a little water into the floor around the flange. In Edgewood homes with a bath over living space, the ceiling stain arrives months after the rocking started.

06

Frozen Pipe in an Exterior Wall

Kitchen sinks on outside walls, second floor baths over unheated garages, and any run through a rim joist are the usual spots. Opening cabinet doors on the coldest nights and letting a fixture trickle costs nothing and prevents most of these.

How We Work

Three Simple Steps

From emergency call to job complete, we follow a disciplined IICRC-certified process on every Edgewood water restoration project.

1

Call Received, Crew Sent

Call us 24/7 and a crew is dispatched within 2 hours. Extraction equipment and moisture meters come with the crew, not on a second trip. A quick start keeps the rebuild small.

2

Readings and Records

Every line item traces back to a photo and a reading. Thermal imaging and meter readings build a complete moisture map before equipment moves.

3

The Rebuild

Extraction equipment runs until the standing water is gone, then drying takes over. The drying log runs 3 to 5 days on average before Edgewood materials read dry.

Indiana Climate

Indiana Weather Drives Restoration Calls Year Round

Indiana weather drives most of the restoration calls we take in Edgewood. Spring brings rain saturation and White River flooding that pushes groundwater into basements, winter freeze thaw cycles burst supply lines in older walls and crawl spaces, and summer storms drop several inches in an afternoon that overwhelms sump pumps and footing drains.

Spring Saturation Flooding

When the White River runs high and central Indiana takes on several inches of rain in a weekend, low lying Edgewood lots near Nichol Avenue and the park areas see groundwater pushing through foundation walls and floor cracks. Sump pumps run nonstop or fail outright. We extract, dry the affected basement materials, and apply antimicrobial treatment to slab and framing.

Winter Pipe Bursts

Indiana freeze thaw cycles are brutal on the galvanized and early copper supply lines still running through many older Edgewood homes. A cold snap freezes a line in an exterior wall or unheated crawl space, the pipe splits, and the thaw releases gallons per minute. We respond around the clock, extract, and start structural drying the same day.

Severe Thunderstorms

Madison County sees repeat severe weather events, including the April 2024 flooding and the 2025 disaster declaration that damaged 30-plus homes. Wind driven rain finds its way through compromised siding, window seals, and storm damaged openings. We document the intrusion path, extract standing water, and dry affected wall cavities before mold takes hold.

Summer Humidity and Mold

Indiana summers run humid, and basements that took on spring water without proper drying become mold incubators by July. We see this pattern often: a homeowner mopped up, ran a box fan, and assumed it was fine. By the time the musty smell shows up, colonies are established. We handle mold remediation to the IICRC S520 standard.

Edgewood Communities We Cover

Restoration projects completed across Edgewood's established and custom-home communities. Click any neighborhood for the specifics we have learned working there.

This is the original platted section of town, with homes dating to the 1920s,1940s era when Edgewood was founded as a GM worker suburb. Properties along Winding Way and Woods Road (home to Woods Park, also known as Turtle Park) feature aging bungalows and two story homes with full basements that are highly susceptible to hydrostatic water intrusion given the original construction standards. Original galvanized supply plumbing and cast iron drain lines in these homes are at or beyond expected service life, making pipe failure and sewer backup events a persistent water damage risk for crews dispatched to the area. View Old Edgewood (Winding Way / Woods Road corridor) restoration details →
South Edgewood contains a concentration of mid century ranch and bungalow homes, with Redwood Park located at Redwood and Oakwood Drives serving as a neighborhood anchor. Homes in this section were predominantly constructed in the 1940s,1960s and may include slab on grade and shallow crawl space foundations in addition to partial basements, creating multiple pathways for water intrusion from surface flooding and ground saturation. The aging municipal sewer infrastructure serving this older residential zone increases the probability of sewer line backups during heavy precipitation events, a recurring concern in the Madison County area. View South Edgewood (Redwood Drive / Oakwood Drive area) restoration details →
Running along Golf Club Road, home to the Edgewood Golf Club and the Edgewood Dining, Pub and Event Center, this corridor features some of the town's larger single family homes on wider lots. Properties here vary in age from mid-20th century builds to more recent construction, creating a mix of plumbing eras; older homes retain original copper and galvanized systems while newer builds may have PEX. Basement presence is common across this corridor, and low grade lots adjacent to the golf course grounds face elevated drainage challenges and sump pump dependency during spring thaw and heavy rain periods. View Golf Club Road Corridor restoration details →
Nichol Avenue is Edgewood's primary arterial road (Indiana State Road 32), and the residential properties flanking it include some of the town's most flood documented addresses, floodwaters were directly reported covering yards at the Maryland Drive and Nichol Avenue intersection during April 2024 rain events. Homes along this corridor tend to be older stock from the 1930s,1950s with basements or crawl spaces, and their proximity to the town's commercial and civic zone means aging combined sewer and stormwater infrastructure that can surcharge and back up into structures during peak rainfall. Supply plumbing in this housing era is commonly transitional galvanized to copper, with corrosion related failures a documented risk pattern. View Nichol Avenue (SR 32) Corridor restoration details →
This quiet residential pocket in the southwest portion of Edgewood, anchored by Windsor Park at Windsor Way and Orchard Drive, features smaller single family homes typical of the post-WWII era. Ranch style construction with slab or shallow crawl space foundations is likely in this section, reducing full basement flood risk but increasing the exposure of under slab plumbing to ground movement and drain line failure. The freeze thaw cycle in central Indiana creates particular vulnerability for homes with unprotected exterior hose bibs, crawl space supply lines, and inadequately insulated pipe runs in unconditioned spaces.

Common Questions

Edgewood Questions About Cost, Coverage, and Timing

Straight answers to the questions Edgewood homeowners ask most.

We provide fast, around the clock emergency response to Edgewood properties any day of the year. When you call our 24 7 emergency line, we dispatch a certified crew with extraction equipment, dehumidifiers, air movers, and meters already on the truck so mitigation begins on arrival. The exact arrival window depends on time of day, traffic, and active job load, but emergency calls receive priority dispatch. On arrival, the lead technician walks the affected areas, identifies the water source, and begins moisture mapping before any equipment is placed. Call us as soon as you notice water, every hour without extraction expands the damage.
Most Category 1 jobs in Edgewood run $1,500 to $4,500 for clean water losses from supply lines or appliance overflow with limited affected area. Category 2 gray water jobs typically run $3,000 to $8,000, covering dishwasher failures, washing machine overflow, and toilet backups without solids. Category 3 black water, sewage, and floodwater jobs run $7,000 to $25,000 or more depending on contamination scope, affected square footage, and reconstruction needs. Final pricing is set after a free on site inspection because Category, material type, and total saturation drive the real number. Ask for the written scope before work begins.
Typically, sudden and accidental water damage is covered by most major insurance carriers, while gradual leaks and long term seepage are usually excluded. A burst supply line, a failed water heater, or storm driven intrusion generally qualifies as sudden. A slow drip under a sink that rotted the cabinet over two years generally does not. Your deductible applies to the covered portion, and flood from rising groundwater or river overflow typically requires a separate flood policy. We work with your insurance carrier directly, providing the documentation adjusters need to process the claim cleanly.
Yes, our technicians are trained and certified to IICRC standards, including the S500 standard for water damage restoration and the S520 standard for mold remediation. The S500 governs how water is classified, how drying is documented, and when materials are considered dry. The S520 governs containment, PPE, and remediation protocols when mold is present. For Edgewood homeowners, IICRC certification means the work follows a published industry standard that adjusters recognize, not improvised methods. Ask any restoration company for proof of current certification before they start work.
On average, structural drying for a Category 1 loss in Edgewood takes 3 to 5 days, Category 2 takes 4 to 7 days, and Category 3 takes 5 to 10 days or longer depending on contamination and demolition scope. Duration depends on affected square footage, material types (drywall and framing dry faster than hardwood and concrete), ambient humidity, and how quickly mitigation started after the loss. We monitor daily with logged meter readings and pack up only when materials reach dry standard against unaffected reference points. A reliable timeline comes after the initial assessment.
Category 1 is clean water from a sanitary source: broken supply lines, sink overflows with no contamination, appliance fill line failures. Category 2 is gray water containing some contamination: dishwasher and washing machine discharge, toilet overflow without solids, aquarium water. Category 3 is black water carrying significant contamination: sewage backups, floodwater from outside, river or storm surge water, and any water that has been standing long enough to grow bacteria. Category determines containment, PPE, and which materials can be dried in place versus removed. The classification follows IICRC S500.
Mold can begin colonizing within 24 to 48 hours of materials becoming wet, given the right conditions: organic material (drywall paper, wood, insulation), moisture, and temperatures between 60 and 80 degrees, which describes the inside of nearly every Edgewood home. Hidden moisture inside wall cavities or under flooring accelerates the timeline because air movement is restricted. Our prevention approach is fast extraction, complete moisture mapping to find hidden saturation, structural drying to verified dry standard, and antimicrobial application where warranted. Once visible mold appears, remediation follows the IICRC S520 standard.
First, safety: if the water is near electrical outlets or the panel, shut power to the affected area at the breaker, and stay out of standing water until power is off. Second, stop the source if you can do so safely, shutting the main water valve for a burst pipe or the supply valve to the failed appliance. Third, document everything with photos and video before you move anything, your insurance carrier will want this record. Fourth, call your insurance carrier to open a claim. Then call us, we take it from there.
Our trucks roll with commercial water extraction equipment for standing water removal, commercial dehumidifiers sized to the affected square footage, professional air movers for surface evaporation, calibrated moisture meters for material readings, thermal imaging cameras for hidden moisture mapping, and hygrometers for ambient conditions. HEPA filtration and negative air machines come out for Category 3 losses and mold remediation. Containment materials, antimicrobial, and PPE are standard on every truck. The equipment matches the job, a small Category 1 supply line break gets a different setup than a flooded basement, and the assessment drives the placement.
We handle reconstruction as part of the same project, so Edgewood homeowners do not have to hire a separate general contractor after the dry out finishes. The scope covers drywall, insulation, flooring, paint, trim, and cabinetry repair or replacement, all under the same project manager and the same insurance claim. One schedule runs from the first emergency call through the final walk through. That continuity is the difference between a job that closes in weeks and a home that sits open for months waiting on a second crew to start. Ask about the reconstruction scope during the initial assessment.
