Water Damage Cleanup in Selma

We clean up and dry out water damage in homes across Selma at any hour, whether it's from a burst pipe or a failed appliance line.

Homes and Plumbing

A lot of the housing in Selma went up in the 1900s. In houses from those years, supply lines were likely galvanized steel or early copper, and those lines corrode as they age.

Winter and Frozen Pipes

Freeze and thaw cycles put pipes in crawl spaces and uninsulated walls at risk of bursting in winter.

We cover every part of Selma, including the North Albany Street District and the streets around Dollar General and the North Albany Street business district. We also take water damage calls from Albany, Muncie, Gaston and Daleville.

Expert Water Damage Restoration for Selma Homeowners

If you're not sure whether to call your insurance company about water in your Selma home, start with what's wet. Selma Water Restoration documents the damage with a photo report and walks you through what the crew found, so you can decide with your insurance company. Check your own policy for how it treats the cause. The crew can start extraction on the same visit if you want the water out right away.

Selma Water Restoration handles the repairs after the drying, so you aren't left with open walls and bare subfloor in your Selma home. Drywall, insulation, flooring, trim and paint go back once the readings show the structure is dry. You approve the repair scope in writing before work starts, and the drying readings stay in your file for any future buyer or inspector who asks.

Air movers sit close to the wet walls and floors and point along them, which keeps damp air from settling on the surface. Dehumidifiers then pull that moisture out of the room. Selma Water Restoration moves both as the wet areas shrink in your Selma home, and each change shows up in the daily log, so you can see what moved and why.

Where the water came from and when it started are the first questions an insurance company tends to ask. Selma Water Restoration photographs the source in your Selma home, notes when the crew arrived and logs the readings from the first day. You keep that record and decide with your insurance company how to use it, and the crew walks you through any part you want explained.

Call Selma Water Restoration now to stop the spread of water damage in your Selma home. A crew dispatches within 2 hours with pumps, dehumidifiers and air movers. Keep kids and pets away from wet areas, and leave damaged items in place so the crew can photograph them for your report.

Our Process

How Selma Water Restoration Handles Water Damage Restoration

We follow these steps in order on every Selma job.

1

Safety and Source Check

Before any work starts, the crew checks the wet area for electrical hazards and sagging ceilings and confirms the source of the water is closed. Anything unsafe gets marked off and photographed first.

2

Photo Report

Photos, readings and the scope go into a photo report you keep. The crew walks you through it, so you can decide with your insurance company, and you sign off on the scope before any removal starts.

3

Cleanup After Removal

Bagged debris leaves through a protected path, and the exposed framing and subfloor get a vacuum pass and a wipe down. The crew works to keep removal dust out of the dry rooms, and the area is ready for equipment.

4

Power and Cord Safety

Equipment is plugged into separate circuits so a single tripped breaker is less likely to stop the whole drying setup, and cords run along walls and away from wet areas. You hear which outlets to leave alone in your home.

5

Checks at Each Stage

The work gets checked after extraction, during drying, before repairs start and at the end. Each check adds photos and readings to your file, so the next stage starts from a documented condition.

Common Questions

Water Damage Restoration FAQ

Questions Selma homeowners ask us about water damage restoration.

Have your address ready and describe where the water is coming from and which rooms it has reached. Say whether it's still running and whether you've been able to close the main valve or shut off power to the wet area. If you can see the cause, such as a cracked hose or a split supply line, mention that too. Selma Water Restoration uses those details to plan the extraction for your Selma home before the crew gets there.
Often it does, because material that dries in place doesn't need to be replaced, and that keeps the repair list shorter. Tearing out drywall or flooring that could have dried adds disposal and rebuilding to the job. Some materials can't dry, though, such as swollen particleboard or pad soaked with contaminated water. Selma Water Restoration lets the readings in your Selma home decide, and each removal is photographed and explained before it happens.
Waiting lets the damage grow, and many policies expect you to take reasonable steps to limit further damage, which includes getting the water out and starting the drying. Photograph the damage and let your insurance company know about the loss, then check your policy's wording. Selma Water Restoration documents conditions in your Selma home before anything is removed, so the adjuster can see what the crew found even if the visit comes later.
The IICRC is the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification, a nonprofit organization that develops standards and certification programs for the cleaning and restoration industries. Its best known publications for water jobs are the S500 for water damage restoration and the S520 for mold remediation. Selma Water Restoration treats the S500 as the reference for how readings are taken and recorded on a water job in Selma.
Wet drywall, wood and subfloor hold water inside them, and it comes out slowly. The air movers pull water off the surfaces, and the dehumidifiers take it out of the air, so the materials can keep giving up more. Dense wood and plaster give it up slowest. Selma Water Restoration runs the equipment around the clock and checks the readings daily, and the equipment comes out when the numbers say the house is dry.
It depends on the source and on what the water crossed. Water from a supply line starts out clean, but water from a tub drain or a toilet overflow carries contamination, and any water that runs through insulation and dust picks up more. Ceilings that held water usually come down so the cavity can dry. Selma Water Restoration traces the source in your Selma home and sets the category before planning the work.
The cut follows the affected area, so porous materials like drywall paper usually come out where growth has taken hold, and the crew reads the surrounding wall with a meter to find where sound, dry material begins. Framing can often be cleaned and dried in place. Selma Water Restoration photographs the cut lines in your Selma home and lists the removal on its own line of the scope.
The main valve usually sits where the water line enters the house, often in a basement or utility room near the water heater. A round handle turns clockwise to close, and a lever valve closes with a quarter turn. If you can't find it or it won't turn, the street shutoff near the water meter usually needs a special key, and your water utility can help. Once the water is off, call Selma Water Restoration about the damage in your Selma home.
The truck carries pumps and extraction tools for standing water, commercial dehumidifiers and air movers for drying, and moisture meters and a thermal camera for finding water you can't see. Plastic sheeting and HEPA filtered air machines come along for contaminated water or mold. Protective gear is on board for sewage. The crew sizes the setup to the wet rooms in your Selma home and adjusts it each day.
Many homeowners handle drywall and paint themselves once the structure is dry, and the final readings tell you when it's time to start. Plumbing and electrical work is a different matter, since it may need a qualified tradesperson and a permit, so check with your local building department. Ask Selma Water Restoration for the drying log and photos from your Selma home so you know which walls and floors were opened.
