Commercial Storm Damage for McCordsville Businesses

A warehouse slab that took on a few inches of storm water looks dry by the next afternoon and isn't. Concrete holds moisture long after the surface sheds it, and whatever's stored on that slab absorbs what the concrete releases. McCordsville Water Restoration brings desiccant drying capacity to commercial losses in McCordsville, IN, measures the slab with the right instrument, and gives you readings you can show a tenant.

Everything that leaves the building gets counted and photographed first. McCordsville Water Restoration keeps a removal log for your McCordsville property that lists the room, the material, the approximate area and the reason it couldn't be dried in place. When the repair scope is written later, it starts from that log, and the adjuster can follow each line.

Jobs close on readings. Affected materials in your McCordsville building have to match the dry standard taken from an unaffected part of the same structure, measured with the same meter on the same scale. Equipment comes out after that, final readings go in the file with the photos, and a punch walk with the property manager sets what reconstruction still owes.

Many commercial property forms cover rain that gets inside only when wind or hail first damaged the roof or an exterior wall where the water entered. That makes the point of entry the first thing a reviewer looks at. McCordsville Water Restoration photographs the interior side of it at your McCordsville building and dates the images, and your broker can tell you how your own form reads.

When one storm has hit your McCordsville building and others in your portfolio, give McCordsville Water Restoration every address in a single call. The team sorts them by active water and reports each building in the same format, so ownership sees the whole picture side by side.

Our Process

How McCordsville Water Restoration Handles Commercial Storm Damage

We follow these steps in order on every McCordsville job.

1

First Call Intake

On the call, the team gathers where the water is entering, which areas are occupied, who holds keys and alarm codes, and who can authorize work, so the crew shows up at your McCordsville property with the right equipment and the access it needs.

2

Contents and Inventory Protection

Stock and equipment on wet floors get lifted onto blocking or moved to dry ground, with plastic over anything that has to stay. A photo list records what moved and where, which supports each tenant's own claim.

3

Occupied Space Planning

Suites and corridors that must stay in service get marked on the plan before any equipment is staged, along with where the barriers go. The loud work is scheduled for hours when the space is empty.

4

Midpoint Scope Review

Partway through the job, the crew compares the readings with the projected equipment period and tells the property manager if the schedule or the scope has moved. Added removal is photographed and explained before the work starts.

5

Equipment Out and Space Release

As each area reaches its dry goal, the equipment comes out of it and the space goes back to the tenant. The release date and final readings for every area go in the file.

Common Questions

Commercial Storm Damage FAQ

Questions McCordsville property managers ask us about commercial storm damage restoration.

Start with the building address and the floors or suites that took on water, and say where it came in if you know. Add the name of whoever holds keys or alarm codes and who can sign for emergency work. Floor plans and panel schedules help if you can find them quickly, and photos you've already taken let the team size the first visit. McCordsville Water Restoration uses those details to decide how the crew loads up for your McCordsville property.
Price on a commercial loss tracks two things mostly, how much affected area there is and how long the drying equipment has to run. Material that can't be dried in place adds to that. A single tenant suite with a wet ceiling and carpet sits at the low end. A full floor plate with saturated insulation, wet stud cavities and a topping slab that needs weeks of desiccant capacity sits far above it. McCordsville Water Restoration scopes from measured area and moisture readings, prices off line items your carrier's software already recognizes, and puts the scope in writing before anything past the emergency phase starts.
It can, if your policy carries that coverage and the closure comes from a covered loss. Many forms start the clock after a waiting period, and a partly open suite may be treated differently from a closed one. Your broker can read the wording for you. McCordsville Water Restoration logs the status of each area by date, with photos, which gives your accountant the dates to work from.
The company traces back to 2018, when Aaron Christy founded it, and he still leads it. It holds a BBB A+ rating, has been BBB accredited since 2019 and was named one of the 2025 Best Places to Work in Indiana. Crews handle commercial storm calls across central Indiana, including McCordsville, and every job gets photos by space, daily readings, equipment records and a written scope you approve.
A second round of water resets part of the work. The crew checks the openings and the areas that were dry, then takes fresh readings. The date and the entry point of the new intrusion get recorded separately from the first. Wet material gets a new category assessment, and the equipment plan updates to match. Your broker can tell you whether the second event is handled with the original claim, so send the dated photos along.
It depends on the line it came through and what it carried. Rain that has picked up sediment or debris from a drain line is commonly treated as Category 2, gray water with contamination. If the line ties into a sanitary sewer, the water is treated as Category 3, which is grossly contaminated. McCordsville Water Restoration checks the drain system and the water's path at your McCordsville property, and that call decides which materials get cleaned and which come out.
Many commercial property forms exclude fungus or limit it to a small sublimit, so read the wording with your broker before assuming it's covered. Growth that follows water the policy covers is sometimes treated differently from growth that follows a long term leak. Drying the building promptly and documenting the readings gives the clearest support for the first case, and McCordsville Water Restoration keeps those records on every storm job in McCordsville.
Buckets, yes, and move anything valuable out from under the drip. Leave the ceiling alone unless a tile is about to let go over somebody, in which case get people clear and drop it into a trash can. Wet tile is heavy, the grid above it may be holding more water than you think, and pulling tile across an area loses the evidence of where the water traveled. The crew needs to see that pattern before it gets disturbed. If a tile has to come down for safety, tell the team where it was so the crew can document it.
A thermal camera shows surface temperature differences, and wet material often reads cooler than dry material beside it. That tells the crew where to look. The meter measures how wet the material is, either by reading through the surface or by probing into it. Together they let the crew draw the edge of the wet area on a floor plan and check each day whether it's shrinking.
Yes, you can hire the repair contractor of your choice. Give them the removal log, the floor plan with the final readings, the photos and the scope for the drying phase, and they'll see what's open and what's been dried. Where a wall cavity or ceiling plenum was opened, the log says so. Ask them to schedule repairs around tenants the same way the drying was planned.
