Water Damage Restoration - Done in the Right Order

Each stage is performed by the independent restoration contractor the call reaches; IICRC S500 is the industry standard that describes them.

  1. Step 1: Extraction

    Standing water is pumped out before it can travel further into drywall, subfloor, and framing. Speed here changes the scope of everything that follows.

  2. Step 2: Moisture mapping

    Meters read the material, not the air, so the wet edge is found even when the surface already looks dry. The map sets what has to come out and what can stay.

  3. Step 3: Drying

    Air movers and dehumidifiers run as a closed system until readings inside the material reach a dry standard, not until a calendar date arrives.

  4. Step 4: Verification

    The same points are re-read before equipment comes out. Rebuild starts only after the structure, not just the surface, is confirmed dry.

What drives water into buildings in New Albany

Water damage restoration in New Albany reaches out through DePauw Avenue Historic District and Shelby Place Historic District, and our local pros handle all of it. A Floyd County city on the Ohio below a line of knobs that rise several hundred feet immediately behind it.

Housing stock

The median home in New Albany dates to 1965, and 81.1 percent of the stock was already standing when the 1990s began. Four fifths predates 1990, on cellars across a narrow strip between the hills and the river. What comes off those slopes crosses the city to reach the water.

Climate and water risk

New Albany averages 47.99 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at LOUISVILLE MCALPINE 3 miles away, with May the wettest month at 4.81 inches. May tops the year at under five inches out of forty-eight. The river responds to conditions across an enormous catchment rather than to the local sky.

Common water damage problems in New Albany

  • Steep knobs immediately behind, delivering runoff across the city to the river
  • A river whose crest is forecast days ahead, unlike anything else here
  • A narrow strip between hills and water, with everything crossing it
  • Cellar walls of an era when the stonework alone stood between soil and floor

Frequently asked questions

Most of what reaches this lot started a long way above it.

With slopes that size immediately behind the city, a property at the bottom receives whatever the hills shed as well as whatever falls on it, and the two need different work. Gutters and grading handle the roof and do nothing about a flow arriving from several hundred feet of elevation. Interception across the hillside is what changes that.

The hills behind the city are steep and the ground in front is flat.

Which produces two unrelated problems within a mile. Up on the slope water arrives sideways through the ground and at speed; down on the flat by the river it is a matter of levels and how long they stay up. A plan drawn for one of those is close to useless at the other.

What survives a fortnight under water?

The structure and the hard surfaces, and very little else. Porous material submerged that long is finished whatever a meter reads afterward, and none of the drying can begin until the level has fallen. Saying so at the outset stops money going into equipment aimed at things being removed anyway.
