Water Damage in Your Home or Business

When you experience a water damage, call SERVPRO of Indianapolis West.

The longer you wait after having water damage, the more damage you are causing to your home or business. When you have a water leak, it's critical to shut off the water source that is causing the damage. If the water is coming from something or somewhere you are unsure of, contact a plumber in your area to stop the source of water. 

Once the water is turned off, that is the source of damage; your next call should be to the service professionals at SERVPRO of Indianapolis West. Click here to contact us. We will respond to your call immediately day or night, 24/7.

It doesn't matter the size of the water damage we will be able to help get it under control. At SERVPRO of Indianapolis West, we have the capabilities and the expertise to handle large commercial losses, as well as the more common residential water damages. 

Water damage can be difficult to spot, but some signs you can look for in your home and business:

• Water rings on your ceiling or walls
• Soft or sagging on your ceiling or walls
• Wet or soggy carpets
• Warping in your wood flooring
• A musty or damp smell

Signs of Water Damage on the Walls and Ceilings

A water stain or spot on your ceiling could mean you have a leak on your roof. It also could be caused by a leaky pipe or condensation dripping from a pipe above your ceiling. Roof damage can happen or be revealed as water seeps through your roof and damages your ceilings and walls. 

The source of the water leak is not always right above the water stain. Water from a leak can travel down the wood framing, across wires, along pipes and other structural pieces behind your home's ceilings and walls. 

Signs of Water Damage on the Floors

Wet carpet or warping floors are a sure sign of water damage. A supply line to one of the many appliances we have in our homes and businesses could be faulty. These appliance supply lines are always under pressure, so when there is a break, water will continually leak until the source is turned off.

Water seeping from a broken supply line can be substantial, causing fast and noticeable damage, while a lesser leak may take much longer to detect.
