Water Damage Restoration in Historic Downtown
This core district contains some of Martinsville's oldest housing and commercial structures, with residential properties dating to the late 1800s and early 1900s, bounded roughly by Pike, Mulberry, Jackson, and Sycamore Streets. Homes of this era were built with galvanized steel plumbing that is well past its 40,70 year service life, creating high risk of supply line failures and pinhole leaks that can go undetected in finished basements or older crawl spaces. The district's aging sewer laterals and proximity to low lying terrain near the White River watershed increase the likelihood of sewer backup events during heavy rain.
We have served Historic Downtown / Courthouse Square District homeowners through the full range of water emergencies, from burst pipes and basement flooding to mold remediation and sewage cleanup. Whatever the source, our Martinsville crew responds 24/7 and works with your insurance carrier on approved claims.
Found Water on the Floor in Historic Downtown / Courthouse Square District? What to Do in the First Hour
Start by finding where it's coming from and turning off that water. If you can't find the source in a few minutes, shut the main valve for the whole house and keep looking from there.
Watch the Ceiling
When water comes through a ceiling, look for sagging or bulging before you walk under it. A ceiling holding water can come down, so keep people out of that room and leave the light fixtures there switched off.
Stop a Leaking Water Heater
If the tank is leaking, close the cold water valve on the pipe that feeds the top of the tank. That keeps it from refilling, and a plumber can take it from there once the water's handled.
Lift Things Off the Floor
Move rugs and anything made of paper or fabric off the wet floor and into a dry room. Wood furniture can sit on squares of foil or plastic lids so the legs don't soak up water or stain the carpet.
Hold Off on Tear Out
Leave wet drywall and flooring in place for now. Our crew photographs the damage before anything comes out, and you'll go through that record with your insurance company later.
What Goes Into the Photo Report on a Water Job in Historic Downtown / Courthouse Square District?
The photo report holds pictures of where the water came from and every area it reached, along with moisture readings from each room. Our crew takes all of those photos on site, so there's nothing you need to set up for it.
A clear view of the source, whether the water came from inside a wall or from outside the house.
Ceilings and walls below the leak, photographed wherever stains or bubbling paint show up.
Readings written beside the spot they came from, so a number never gets separated from its room.
Belongings that got wet, photographed where they sat before anything is moved or thrown away.
Wet insulation or pad pulled from the work area, photographed before it's bagged and removed.
We document damage with a photo report and walk you through what we found, so you can decide with your insurance company. Your own policy decides what's covered, so ask your insurance company if you have questions about it.

Water restoration in Green Acres →How Does Drying Work Over the Next Few Days in Historic Downtown / Courthouse Square District?
Drying runs over several visits, and the moisture readings at the same marked spots decide when each area is done. Our crew sets up the equipment on the first visit and adjusts it at each check after that.
Getting Air Moving
Air movers push air across wet surfaces while dehumidifiers pull that moisture out of the room. EPA's mold guide says that when wet materials get dried in the first 24 to 48 hours after a leak, mold won't grow in most cases, so the equipment goes in on the first day.
Moving Equipment
As some spots dry, the crew moves air movers toward the areas that are still wet. That's why the setup in a room can look different from one visit to the next.
Deciding It's Dry
The equipment stays until the readings show the materials are dry. The crew can show you the readings behind that call, one marked spot at a time.
Wrapping Up
The crew collects the equipment and goes over the final report with you, room by room. Keep that report with your policy papers in case questions come up later.
