Crawl spaces are common in parts of Shadeland.
Where the Water Comes From
Homes near Wea Creek and Little Wea Creek face added flood risk after heavy rain. In heavy storms, sewer water can also back up through floor drains, and that turns the job into sewage cleanup.
Our crews work all over Shadeland, from Flint Creek Estates to the streets near Shadeland Annex and the Eli Lilly & Company campus. We also clean up flooded basements in Romney, Dayton, Stockwell and West Lafayette.
Expert Basement Flooding for Shadeland Homeowners
A storm heavy enough to fill the sump pit often takes the power out as well, and a pump with no electricity can't lift anything. If the lights went out and your Shadeland basement kept filling, the water has been sitting on the slab since the pit overflowed. Shadeland Water Restoration pumps it out and reads every wet surface before deciding what has to come out.
Every flood leaves a high water mark on the walls and on whatever was stored down there, and Shadeland Water Restoration photographs it with a tape measure in the frame. The crew also writes down when the water was found and how long the pump sat idle. That timeline goes in your Shadeland file next to the readings.
Shadeland Water Restoration sends a technician back every day during the drying phase. Readings get taken at the same marked locations, the grains per pound in the room get compared against the day before, equipment gets repositioned as the wet zone shrinks, and photos get added whenever the scope changes. You'll see the numbers at each visit, so the end of the drying phase lands on a date the readings support.
Shadeland Water Restoration documents the drying and the rebuild as separate scopes, because they're different kinds of work. Extraction, removal, containment, equipment and monitoring sit on the mitigation side. Insulation, drywall, flooring, trim and paint sit on the rebuild side. Keeping them apart shows you exactly what you're paying for on each line, and you approve each scope in writing.
Even with the storm still going, call Shadeland Water Restoration and describe what you're seeing in your Shadeland basement. The crew can talk through what to move and what to photograph while the rain continues, and the extraction plan gets built around when the inflow slows.

How Shadeland Water Restoration Handles Basement Flooding
We follow these steps in order on every Shadeland job.
Source Check
The crew finds where the water came from and photographs it before anything moves. Seepage through a foundation wall gets handled differently from a backup out of a sanitary line, and the source decides what protective gear the job needs and which materials come out.
Contents Handling
What was stored on the floor gets photographed, inventoried, and either blocked up off the slab or carried out of the space. Soft goods and cardboard that held contaminated water leave the house, and the list of it goes in your file.
Wall Cavity Drying
Small holes behind the baseboard let conditioned air flow into the stud bays of a finished wall in your Shadeland home. That pulls moisture off the back of the drywall and out of the framing, so more of the wall can stay in place.
Daily Monitoring
A technician returns every 24 hours while drying runs, takes readings at the same marked spots, compares room humidity against the day before, and moves equipment as the wet area shrinks. Any change to the scope arrives with photos and a conversation.
Records Handoff
You receive the photo report, the moisture map, the daily logs and the equipment record for your Shadeland basement in one file. The crew goes through it with you and answers questions about any line, so you can use it with your insurance company.
