Schedule Your Free Damage Assessment
A proper inspection on a Wilkinson home is a room by room walkthrough that treats hidden moisture as the real enemy. We measure walls with non penetrating meters at multiple heights, check baseboards and trim, probe subfloors, pull insulation in suspect cavities, and open behind cabinets and appliances. Under sinks, around water heaters and washing machines, and along the basement perimeter and slab joints all get direct readings. Thermal imaging maps temperature differentials that flag moisture behind finishes, a penetrating moisture meter confirms the reading, and a hygrometer captures ambient conditions so drying targets can be set correctly. Skipping this step is why some Wilkinson homeowners end up with mold blooming behind drywall a month after a job someone else called finished.

Crawl space water problems stay hidden until they don't. Standing water under a Wilkinson home breeds mold, rots joists, and drives humidity into living spaces. Crawl space water removal and drying protects the structure the whole house stands on.
Category matters. Clean supply water, gray water from appliances, and black water from sewage each carry different protocols under industry standards. Certified Wilkinson technicians classify the loss first because everything after, what's saved, what's removed, what's sanitized, depends on it.

Local Expertise, Real Results
Restoration work judged by moisture readings, documented scope, and a home that stays dry six months after we leave.
Water damage in Wilkinson compounds quickly. The visible water comes out fast, but the moisture in wall cavities, behind cabinets, under subfloor decking, and inside insulation is what causes the call back six weeks later. Wilkinson Water Restoration maps every wet pocket on day one across Wilkinson and documents the full scope.
Wilkinson Water Restoration provides water damage restoration in Wilkinson and across Hancock County, with crews dispatched throughout the 46186 service area and into Greenfield, Pendleton, Knightstown, New Palestine, and Fortville. Founded in 2018 by Aaron Christy, whose restoration work has been featured on FOX59, WISH TV, and RTV6, the company has spent years responding to the specific water damage patterns that hit Wilkinson homes. Every job is led by IICRC certified technicians on a licensed and insured crew operating under Indiana license RC21100059. When your basement is filling with groundwater at 2 a.m. or a supply line lets go behind a kitchen wall, you get experienced people, not a call center scripting an apology.
Water restoration in Wilkinson runs on the IICRC S500 standard, and any mold work follows IICRC S520. That means the process starts with a thorough moisture assessment using thermal imaging and calibrated meters, not a guess about which rooms look wet. From there, controlled extraction pulls standing water, structural drying is set up with monitored air flow and dehumidification sized to the affected square footage, and antimicrobial application is used where the Category of water and materials involved require it. Before any reconstruction begins, moisture readings have to match unaffected materials on the same structure. The rigor is what keeps a small leak from becoming a mold problem you find 30 days later.
Our Promise
Three commitments to every Wilkinson homeowner who calls us. First, fast emergency response day or night, because in water damage every hour without extraction expands the affected area. Second, IICRC certified technicians trained to the S500 standard, so the work matches the industry protocol rather than someone's best guess. Third, a free on site inspection before any work begins, and if you have an active claim we coordinate with your insurance carrier so the scope and documentation line up with your coverage.
What Wilkinson Homeowners Get With Wilkinson Water Restoration
Careful work, documented moisture readings, honest scope, and one crew from the first extraction pass through the final coat of paint on your Wilkinson home.
around the clock Emergency Dispatch
Water damage in Wilkinson does not wait for business hours, and neither do we. Our 24 7 emergency line puts a crew on the way with commercial extraction equipment, dehumidifiers, and air movers already on the truck. Fast emergency response limits how far water migrates into subfloors, drywall, and insulation before mitigation starts.
IICRC S500 Certified Work
Our technicians are trained to the IICRC S500 standard for water damage restoration and S520 for mold remediation. In practice, that means Category determination, documented moisture readings, and drying to a verified standard rather than a visual check. Homeowners get a job done to industry protocol, which is also what most major insurance carriers expect to see.
Mitigation Through Reconstruction
One crew handles extraction, drying, controlled demolition, and the rebuild that follows. Drywall, flooring, paint, and trim are all part of the scope, so Wilkinson homeowners are not left calling a separate general contractor after the drying equipment leaves. That continuity keeps the timeline tight and the accountability clear.
Insurance Coordination Done Right
We work with your insurance carrier from the first inspection forward. Photos, moisture maps, meter logs, and written scope are documented in the format adjusters expect, so the claim moves cleanly. Wilkinson homeowners are not stuck translating restoration jargon for their adjuster, we handle that directly.

How We Get Your Wilkinson Home Dry
Every Wilkinson job starts with an on site walkthrough and moisture assessment, typically 1 to 2 hours depending on the size of the loss. Thermal imaging and meter readings map where water has migrated, the source is identified (broken supply line, appliance failure, sewage backup, storm intrusion, sump pump failure), and the water is classified as Category 1, 2, or 3 per IICRC S500. Scope of damage is documented before a single air mover goes down. That way the drying plan matches the actual footprint of the loss, not just the rooms that look obviously wet.
Insurance coordination happens in parallel. Before mitigation begins, every affected area is documented with photos and video, a written moisture map is produced with meter readings logged, and we make direct contact with your adjuster. Scope of work is matched to your coverage and mitigation is justified per industry standard, which is the language carriers respond to. Most Wilkinson homeowners never see the paperwork side of the claim, we handle that back and forth with the carrier while the crew focuses on drying the structure.
Drying execution follows structural drying calculations, with air movers and dehumidifiers placed for the specific room geometry and material mix. Readings are logged daily until structures hit dry standard, meaning moisture content matches unaffected materials on the same building. Controlled demolition is used only where materials cannot be dried in place. Reconstruction then follows: drywall, insulation, flooring, paint, and trim brought back to pre loss condition so the home is finished, not just dried out.
Rapid Emergency Dispatch
When you call, a crew is routed with extraction equipment, dehumidifiers, air movers, and moisture meters already loaded. A certified technician leads the crew and starts assessment on arrival. The goal is to stop water migration and begin extraction before more materials cross the line from salvageable to loss.
Category Determination
Water is classified per IICRC S500 as Category 1 (clean supply line water), Category 2 (gray water from appliances or toilet overflow without solids), or Category 3 (sewage, floodwater, long standing groundwater). Meter readings are logged and the classification drives what materials can be dried in place versus removed. Wilkinson homeowners see the reasoning, not just the result.
Insurance Partnership
We work with your insurance carrier, not around them. Photos, moisture maps, scope, and daily drying logs are shared with your adjuster in the format they expect. Transparent line items on the final invoice, the documented scope is the scope.
Verified Dry Standard
Daily monitoring continues until moisture content in affected materials matches unaffected materials on the same structure. Readings are logged, not eyeballed. Reconstruction does not start until the structure is verifiably dry, which is what prevents mold from surfacing behind fresh drywall weeks later.
Common Water Damage Causes in Wilkinson
Wilkinson homes typically call us about these six water damage scenarios.
Tub and Shower Pan Leaks
Tub surrounds leak at the spout penetration, at the valve escutcheon, and where the deck meets the wall. Any of the three puts water behind the surround, soaking framing and subfloor without ever running across the bathroom floor.
Sump Pump Failure
The single most common call we get from Wilkinson 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.
Foundation and Groundwater Intrusion
Heavy rain over saturated ground forces water against foundations harder than most homeowners realize. Older Wilkinson foundations weren’t designed for the rainfall intensities this region now sees.
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.
Toilet Supply Line Leaks
The plastic supply line under a toilet is one of the most failure-prone plumbing parts in the home. A pinhole leak running unnoticed for hours can drop 30 to 50 gallons through ceilings and floors.
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.
Three Simple Steps
From emergency call to job complete, we follow a disciplined IICRC-certified process on every Wilkinson water restoration project.
Rolling Out
Every truck carries extraction, drying, and containment as standard kit. There is no answering service between you and dispatch, and crews roll within 2 hours. The crew moves because the water already did.
The Assessment
The structure gets walked, imaged, metered, and mapped, wall by wall. The map decides what dries in place and what comes out. The file is complete before mitigation starts, which is why claims move.
Dried and Documented
Water is pulled, the structure is dried, and what came out goes back. Readings are logged daily until Wilkinson materials match unaffected baseline, usually 3 to 5 days. A finished job is one that never needs a second visit.
Indiana Weather Drives Restoration Calls Year Round
Water damage calls in Wilkinson track the Indiana calendar. Spring saturation pushes groundwater through foundation walls when clay soils cannot drain fast enough, winter freeze thaw cycles burst supply lines in older homes overnight, and summer storms drive wind and rain through any weak point in the envelope. Each pattern needs a different response.
Spring Saturation Flooding
Hancock County declared a state of emergency after heavy April 2025 rainfall, and Wilkinson's clay heavy soils and flat terrain make that pattern a recurring problem. When ground is already saturated, water pushes through foundation walls, floor cracks, and sump pits faster than aging pumps can keep up. We deploy extraction equipment and set up structural drying the same day the call comes in.
Winter Pipe Bursts
Indiana's freeze thaw cycle regularly pushes temperatures well below freezing, and older Wilkinson homes with less insulation see supply lines freeze and burst overnight. A quarter inch copper line can release hundreds of gallons before anyone wakes up. Our crews extract standing water, dry the wall and floor cavities the leak reached, and document the loss for your carrier.
Severe Thunderstorms
Central Indiana thunderstorms drive wind driven rain into any compromised envelope, and the 2008 outbreak that produced tornadoes and record flooding across the region is not a one time event. When storm water finds its way inside, we contain the affected area, extract, and dry before secondary damage sets in. Documentation for the claim starts before mitigation.
Summer Humidity And Mold
Warm, humid Wilkinson summers accelerate mold growth in any space that stayed damp after a leak or minor flood. Basements and closed off rooms without conditioned air are the usual hotspots. When mold is already visible or suspected, we contain the area, remediate per IICRC S520, and verify the space before it is reopened.
