Schedule Your Free Damage Assessment

Our Fortville inspection starts with a room by room walkthrough of every area where water may have traveled, not just where it pooled. We measure walls with non penetrating moisture meters at multiple heights, check baseboards and trim, probe subfloors, pull insulation in suspect cavities, look behind cabinets and appliances, under sinks, around water heaters and washing machines, and along basement perimeters and slab joints. Thermal imaging cameras map hidden cold spots that indicate trapped moisture, a penetrating meter confirms actual moisture content in the material, and a hygrometer logs ambient temperature and humidity. The single most expensive problem in Fortville water restoration is moisture missed on day one that surfaces as mold thirty days later. Thorough mapping is how we prevent it.

About Us

Local Expertise, Real Results

Built on careful work, documented drying, and showing up when Fortville homeowners need us.

Fortville homeowners call for water damage restoration because the work runs the way it should. Local crews. Documentation that supports insurance claims. Schedule reliability. Closeout in writing. The standards Aaron Christy set when founding the company in 2018.

Fortville Water Restoration provides water damage restoration in Fortville and across Hancock County, with crews dispatched throughout the surrounding communities including McCordsville, Ingalls, Greenfield, Fishers, Lapel, and Pendleton. We have spent years responding to burst pipes, sewage backups, and storm driven flooding in Fortville homes, from the older houses near Main Street and Broadway to the newer subdivisions on the town's growing edges. Our team is made up of IICRC certified technicians on a licensed and insured crew, not partner temp work. When you call our 24 7 emergency line, you reach a Fortville water restoration company that actually shows up with the right equipment and the right people.

Every job is run to the IICRC S500 standard for water damage restoration, and any mold work follows the IICRC S520 standard for remediation. That means an initial moisture assessment with thermal imaging and penetrating meters, controlled water extraction, structural drying with monitored air flow and dehumidification, antimicrobial application where contamination warrants it, and post drying verification before any reconstruction begins. In Fortville, that rigor matters because hidden moisture inside wall cavities and under subfloors is what fuels mold growth weeks after the visible water is gone. We document moisture readings as we go, so you and your adjuster see proof the structure actually reached dry standard.

Our Promise

Our promise to Fortville homeowners comes down to three things. First, fast emergency response, dispatched day or night, because every hour without extraction expands the damage. Second, IICRC certified technicians trained to the S500 standard, with mitigation through reconstruction handled by the same company. Third, a free on site inspection before any work begins, and full insurance coordination if you have an active claim, so you understand the scope and we work with your insurance carrier on the documentation side.

Why Fortville Chooses Us

Built on Fortville Trust

Certified crews, thorough moisture mapping, and clear pricing from the first inspection forward, the standard Fortville homeowners deserve when water damage hits.

around the clock Emergency Dispatch

Water damage in Fortville does not wait for business hours, and neither do we. Our 24 7 emergency line connects you to a certified crew with extraction equipment loaded and ready. Whether it is a 2 AM burst supply line or a Sunday morning sewage backup, we move quickly because every hour expands the damage footprint.

IICRC S500 Certified Crews

Our technicians are IICRC certified and trained to the S500 standard, the industry benchmark for water damage restoration. In practice that means proper Category determination, structural drying calculations rather than guesswork, and verified dry readings before reconstruction. It is the difference between a job that dries correctly and one that grows mold in the wall six weeks later.

Mitigation Through Rebuild

Most Fortville homes need more than drying. They need drywall, flooring, paint, and trim put back. We handle the full scope under one company, so you are not chasing a second general contractor after the air movers come down. One project manager, one schedule, one finished home.

Insurance Coordination Done Right

We work with your insurance carrier from the first inspection forward, documenting moisture readings, photos, and scope justification per industry standard. Most major insurance carriers expect S500-aligned mitigation documentation, and that is exactly what we provide. You focus on your family, we handle the paperwork side with your adjuster.

Our Process

What Happens on Every Fortville Job

The first phase on a Fortville water damage call is moisture assessment and Category determination. A certified technician walks the structure, runs thermal imaging to find hidden moisture, takes meter readings on affected materials, and identifies the source, whether it is a broken supply line, an appliance failure, a sewage backup, or storm intrusion through a compromised envelope. Water is then classified as Category 1, 2, or 3 per IICRC S500, and the full scope of damage is mapped before any drying equipment is set. This walkthrough typically takes one to two hours on a residential loss.

Second, insurance coordination and documentation. Before mitigation begins, we photograph and video every affected area, log meter readings into a written moisture map, and open direct contact with your insurance adjuster. Scope of work is matched to your coverage, mitigation is justified per industry standard, and the carrier sees the proof they need to process the claim. Most Fortville homeowners never see the back end paperwork, we handle it with your insurance carrier so you can focus on your household instead of fighting through forms.

Third, drying execution and reconstruction. Air movers and commercial dehumidifiers are placed based on structural drying calculations sized to the affected square footage, and daily monitoring with logged moisture readings continues until materials hit dry standard, meaning moisture content matches unaffected areas of the home. Controlled demolition happens only where materials cannot be saved. Then reconstruction begins, drywall, insulation, flooring, paint, and trim, so the Fortville home you walk back into looks like the one you had before the loss.

Rapid Emergency Dispatch

When the call comes in, equipment is already loaded. A certified technician leads the crew to your Fortville address with commercial extraction equipment, dehumidifiers, air movers, and moisture meters. The goal is simple, stop the spread and start drying as quickly as conditions allow.

Category Determination

Per IICRC S500 protocol, water is classified as Category 1 (clean supply line water), Category 2 (gray water from appliances or toilet overflow without solids), or Category 3 (sewage, floodwater, long stagnant water). Meter readings are logged and a written assessment is produced. Category drives every decision that follows.

Insurance Partnership

We work with your insurance carrier, not around them. Scope is documented, photos are taken before mitigation begins, and moisture readings are logged so the adjuster sees justification for every line item. transparent invoicing.

Verified Dry Standard

Drying is not done when it looks dry. It is done when meter readings on affected materials match unaffected areas of the home. Daily monitoring confirms progress, and reconstruction does not start until the structure has actually reached dry standard.

Watch for these in Fortville

The Most Frequent Fortville Water Emergencies

01

Appliance Failures

Dishwashers, washing machines, refrigerator ice maker lines, and water heaters fail without warning. Slow leaks behind appliances can run weeks before the wall behind them shows visible damage.

02

Foundation and Groundwater Intrusion

After heavy Hancock County rains, groundwater pressure rises around foundations. Fortville homes with compromised foundation seals or aging waterproofing see seepage and intrusion into basements.

03

Roof Leaks After Storms

Wind-driven rain and hail damage shingles, flashing fails, and water tracks down attic rafters into the living space. Often invisible from the ground until ceiling stains appear days later.

04

Sewer Line Backups

Clay sewer mains in older Fortville neighborhoods crack over time, allowing roots to enter and eventually causing backups. Heavy rains worsen the problem by overwhelming compromised lines.

05

Toilet Supply Line Leaks

A plastic toilet supply line that develops a pinhole leak overnight can produce more water damage than a sudden burst. The slow flow saturates everything around the toilet before anyone notices.

06

Burst Supply Lines

A frozen pipe that bursts can dump 30 to 50 gallons of water in minutes before the homeowner knows there’s a problem. We respond to Fortville burst pipe emergencies year-round, with peak season January through March.
