Schedule Your Free Damage Assessment

Our inspection of a Kensington home is a room by room walkthrough, not a glance. Walls are measured with non penetrating meters at multiple heights to catch wicking above the visible water line, then confirmed with a penetrating meter where readings spike. We check baseboards and trim, subfloor seams, insulation in suspect cavities, behind cabinets and appliances, under sinks, around water heaters and washing machines, and the full basement perimeter where slab and wall meet. Thermal imaging maps hidden moisture behind finished surfaces, and a hygrometer captures ambient temperature and humidity so drying targets are realistic. The reason for this thoroughness in Kensington homes is simple: undetected moisture is what feeds mold colonies that surface a month later, long after the visible water is gone.

I agree to be contacted by Kensington Water Restoration regarding my inquiry.

Sewage backup cleanup in Kensington is a health emergency, not a mop job. Category 3 water carries bacteria into flooring, drywall, and anything porous it touches, and Indiana humidity gives contamination a head start. Proper containment, removal, and sanitizing has to begin the day it happens.

Every reading goes in the log: location, material, moisture content, date. When a Kensington job hits dry standard, the log proves it. That record settles insurance questions, supports resale disclosures, and gives homeowners the one thing water damage steals first, certainty.

Free estimates on water damage restoration across Kensington come with something rarer: the honest version. If it's small enough to handle yourself, you'll hear that. If it's not, you'll see exactly why, in readings and photos.

About Us

Local Expertise, Real Results

Restoration is the only work we do, and that focus is what Kensington homeowners feel from the first phone call.

When you discover water in your Kensington home, you have a short window to make decisions that affect the next 30 days of your life. answers Kensington emergency calls 24 hours a day with a typical 2 hour dispatch on emergencies, IICRC trained crews, and the documentation your insurance carrier requires from photo one.

Kensington Water Restoration provides water damage restoration in Kensington and the surrounding Hendricks County area, responding to homes across the broader service region day and night. Restoration is the only work we do, which means every truck dispatched to Kensington arrives stocked for extraction, drying, and the rebuild that follows. Our crews are experienced technicians, licensed and insured, led by IICRC certified technicians rather than crew. That structure matters when a Kensington homeowner is standing in a flooded basement at 3 AM and needs one accountable team from the first call through the final walk through.

Every job we run in Kensington follows the IICRC S500 standard for water damage restoration, with mold work performed to the S520 standard when contamination is found. The process starts with a moisture assessment using thermal imaging and penetrating meters, then moves into controlled extraction, structural drying with monitored dehumidification and air movement, antimicrobial application where conditions warrant, and verification readings before any reconstruction begins. Skipping a step in that sequence is how trapped moisture turns into mold thirty days later. Working to the standard is slower on day one and far cheaper for the homeowner on day forty.

Our Promise

Three commitments to every Kensington homeowner who calls. First, fast emergency response, dispatched day or night, because every hour without extraction expands the affected area. Second, IICRC certified technicians trained to the S500 standard, working with calibrated meters and commercial drying equipment rather than guesswork. Third, a free on site inspection before any work begins, and full coordination with your insurance carrier if you have an active claim, so you understand the scope and the documentation supports a clean claim process.

Why Kensington Chooses Us

Why Kensington Homeowners Pick Us

IICRC certified technicians, documented moisture mapping, and a single accountable crew from extraction through reconstruction for Kensington homes.

around the clock Dispatch

Water damage does not wait for business hours, and neither do we. Call our 24 7 emergency line and a crew is dispatched to your Kensington address with extraction equipment, dehumidifiers, and air movers already loaded. Starting mitigation quickly is what limits secondary damage to flooring, drywall, and framing.

IICRC S500 Discipline

Our technicians are IICRC certified and work to the S500 standard for water damage restoration. In practice that means every loss is classified by Category and Class, moisture readings are logged, and drying continues until materials match unaffected baselines. Kensington homeowners get a defensible, documented process instead of a guess.

Mitigation Through Rebuild

The crew that extracts the water also hangs the new drywall, sets the trim, and rolls the final coat of paint. One company handles the full scope, so there is no gap between dry out and reconstruction where your Kensington home sits half demolished waiting on a separate contractor.

Insurance Coordination

We work with your insurance carrier from the first walkthrough, with photo documentation, written moisture maps, and a scope of work tied to the IICRC standard. Proper documentation is what turns a stressful claim into a clean one. We coordinate with your adjuster so you can focus on your family.

Our Process

The Kensington Water Restoration Water Restoration Process

The first phase on any Kensington job is moisture assessment and Category determination. A certified technician walks the property with thermal imaging and meters, identifies the source (broken supply line, dishwasher hose, sewer backup, storm intrusion through a compromised envelope), and classifies the water as Category 1, 2, or 3 per IICRC S500. The full scope of affected materials is mapped before a single piece of drying equipment is staged. This usually takes one to two hours and sets the foundation for everything that follows, including the insurance conversation.

Phase two is documentation and insurance coordination. Before any mitigation starts, every affected area is photographed and video walked, with a written moisture map showing meter readings by location. We contact your insurance adjuster directly, present the scope of work, and tie our mitigation activity to the standard the carrier expects. Most Kensington homeowners never have to translate technical language to their adjuster because we are already speaking it. The carrier sees a documented, justified scope, which is what moves a claim forward without back and forth delays.

Phase three is drying execution followed by reconstruction. Air movers and dehumidifiers are placed using structural drying calculations based on affected square footage and material types, then monitored daily with readings logged until materials hit the dry standard. Controlled demolition removes only what cannot be saved. Then reconstruction begins: drywall, insulation, flooring, paint, trim, doors, and finish carpentry, bringing the Kensington home back to pre loss condition. Sequencing the work this way keeps the project moving without the typical gap between dry out and rebuild.

Rapid Emergency Dispatch

Trucks roll to Kensington loaded with extraction equipment, commercial dehumidifiers, and air movers, led by an IICRC certified technician. Extraction begins on arrival to limit how far water spreads into flooring assemblies and wall cavities. The faster standing water is removed, the less material has to come out later.

Category Determination

Every loss is classified per IICRC S500 protocol. Category 1 (clean supply line water), Category 2 (gray water from appliances or toilet overflow without solids), and Category 3 (sewage, floodwater, long standing contamination) each demand a different response. The written assessment drives equipment selection, PPE, and which materials can be dried versus removed.

Insurance Partnership

We work with your insurance carrier, not around them. The scope is justified with photos, moisture maps, and meter readings tied to industry standards. There are transparent invoicing.

Verified Dry Standard

Drying continues until moisture content in affected materials matches unaffected baselines, confirmed by daily meter readings. Reconstruction does not start until those numbers are met. That discipline is what prevents the call thirty days later about a musty smell behind new drywall.

Watch for these in Kensington

Common Water Damage Causes in Kensington

01

Foundation and Groundwater Intrusion

Heavy rain over saturated ground forces water against foundations harder than most homeowners realize. Older Kensington foundations weren’t designed for the rainfall intensities this region now sees.

02

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.

03

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.

04

Burst Supply Lines

Indiana winters drop below freezing for weeks at a time. Kensington homes with poorly insulated supply lines see pipes freeze, expand, and burst. The damage shows up when the thaw begins and water starts flowing.

05

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.

06

Sump Pump Failure

The single most common call we get from Kensington 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.

How We Work

Three Simple Steps

From emergency call to job complete, we follow a disciplined IICRC-certified process on every Kensington water restoration project.

1

The First Call

Emergency calls skip the queue, and a crew is dispatched within 2 hours. Fast response is the whole reason the line stays staffed.

2

Inspection and the File

The scope you sign is the scope we bill. The documentation is yours to keep, claim or no claim. We measure the dry areas too, so there is a baseline to prove against.

3

Verified Dry

The last day is measured, not estimated. Water out, air movers in, materials dried, structure restored. Verification happens before reconstruction, most Kensington dry outs inside 3 to 5 days.

Indiana Climate

Indiana Weather Drives Restoration Calls Year Round

Indiana weather drives a predictable rhythm of water damage calls across Kensington. Winter cold snaps freeze and split supply lines in exterior walls and crawl spaces. Spring saturates Hendricks County clay until groundwater pushes through foundation joints. Summer storms force wind driven rain through compromised envelopes, and high humidity accelerates mold in any space not fully dried.

Winter Pipe Bursts

Indiana cold snaps regularly drop temperatures into the single digits, and that is when supply lines in exterior walls, crawl spaces, and unconditioned basements freeze and split. A burst quarter inch line can release hundreds of gallons before anyone notices. When called to a Kensington home with a frozen pipe failure, we extract, set containment, and begin structural drying the same visit.

Spring Saturation Flooding

Hendricks County clay soils hold water, and after a wet spring the ground around foundations stays saturated for weeks. Hydrostatic pressure pushes groundwater through wall cracks, cove joints, and around floor drains into Kensington basements. We extract the standing water, dry the affected materials, and treat any biological contamination from prolonged exposure.

Severe Thunderstorms

Central Indiana summer storms bring straight line winds and heavy rainfall that overwhelms gutters and forces water into homes through compromised envelopes and window wells. Wind driven rain finds gaps that never leak in normal weather. When storm water enters a Kensington home, we identify the intrusion path, extract, dry, and document the damage for your insurance claim.

Summer Humidity And Mold

Indiana summer dew points routinely sit above seventy, and any unaddressed moisture in a basement, crawl space, or under cabinet area becomes a mold incubator within days. Mold colonization begins in the 24 to 48 hour window after wetting. Our crews apply IICRC S520 protocols when remediation is needed, with containment and HEPA filtration to keep spores from spreading.

Common Questions

FAQ · Kensington Water Damage

Straight answers to the questions Kensington homeowners ask most.

Typically, our crews are dispatched to Kensington addresses on a priority basis as soon as the emergency line takes the call, day or night. The truck arrives loaded with commercial extraction equipment, dehumidifiers, air movers, and moisture meters so mitigation can start immediately rather than after a return trip. On arrival, a certified technician walks the affected area with you, identifies the source if it has not been stopped, and begins extraction while the rest of the crew stages drying equipment. Response speed matters because every hour of standing water expands the affected area into flooring, baseboards, and wall cavities. Call our 24 7 emergency line to start dispatch.
On average, most Category 1 jobs in Kensington run $1,500 to $4,500, covering clean water losses from supply lines, appliance overflows, or sink failures with limited affected square footage. Category 2 (gray water) typically falls in the $3,000 to $8,000 range, reflecting the higher containment, additional material removal, and antimicrobial work required. Category 3 losses (sewage backup, floodwater, long standing contamination) generally run $7,000 to $25,000 or more, depending on contamination spread and the reconstruction scope. Final pricing depends on affected area, material type, and Category, which is why we offer a free on site inspection before any number is quoted. Ask about the walk through process when you call.
It depends on the cause and your specific policy, but most major insurance carriers cover sudden and accidental water damage (a pipe bursts, a supply line fails, a washing machine hose splits) while excluding gradual damage from long term leaks. You will be responsible for your deductible, and the carrier will pay covered repairs above that. Documenting the loss with photos before mitigation starts is critical, which is why our crew handles photo and video documentation, written moisture maps, and meter logs from the first visit. We coordinate with your insurance carrier and present the scope to your adjuster directly. Call us before guessing, the documentation we produce is what supports a clean claim.
Yes, our technicians are IICRC certified and work to the S500 standard for water damage restoration and the S520 standard for mold remediation. S500 governs how water losses are classified by Category and Class, how drying is executed and monitored, and when materials can be saved versus removed. S520 governs containment, PPE, HEPA filtration, and post remediation verification on mold work. For Kensington homeowners, certification means the work is defensible to your insurance carrier and the documentation supports the claim. It also means the crew knows what dry actually looks like on a meter, not just by appearance.
Typically, structural drying on a Category 1 loss in a Kensington home takes three to five days with proper equipment and daily monitoring. Category 2 losses often run five to seven days because of additional material removal and antimicrobial steps. Category 3 work, with sewage or floodwater contamination, can extend seven to ten days or longer depending on demolition scope. Duration is driven by material type (hardwood and plaster dry slower than drywall and carpet), ambient conditions, and how quickly extraction began after the loss. Reconstruction follows drying and is scheduled once meter readings confirm materials have hit the dry standard.
Category 1 is clean water from a sanitary source, like a broken copper supply line, an overflowing bathtub with clean water, or a refrigerator ice maker line. Category 2 is gray water with significant contamination that can cause discomfort or illness, including dishwasher and washing machine discharge, toilet overflow without solids, and aquarium water. Category 3 is black water, grossly contaminated and potentially carrying pathogens, including sewage backup, floodwater from rivers or storms, and any water that has been sitting long enough to grow biological contamination. The Category determines containment, PPE, which materials can be dried versus removed, and the cleanup protocol per IICRC S500.
Typically, mold begins colonizing within 24 to 48 hours of materials becoming wet, given the right conditions of moisture, organic material, and temperatures most homes sit at year round. Indiana summer humidity accelerates that window, and unaddressed moisture in basements, crawl spaces, and wall cavities can show visible growth within several days. Our prevention approach is fast extraction, structural drying to the IICRC dry standard, and antimicrobial application where conditions warrant. When existing mold is found, we shift to IICRC S520 protocols with containment and HEPA filtration. The window matters, which is why immediate response is the single biggest factor in avoiding a mold problem later.
Most Kensington homeowners can take four useful actions while the crew is en route. First, safety: if water has reached outlets or the electrical panel, kill power at the breaker before entering the area. Second, stop the source if it is safe, which usually means shutting off the main water valve for a supply line break. Third, document the damage with phone photos and video of every affected room before anything is moved. Fourth, contact your insurance carrier to open a claim, even if you do not know the full scope yet. Leave wet materials in place if possible so our techs can read the full picture.
Every truck dispatched to a Kensington job carries commercial water extraction equipment for standing water removal, commercial dehumidifiers sized to the affected cubic footage, professional air movers for surface drying, thermal imaging cameras to map hidden moisture behind finished surfaces, and calibrated moisture meters for both non penetrating and penetrating readings. HEPA filtration and negative air machines are deployed when contamination or mold remediation is in scope. Containment supplies (six mil plastic, tape, zip walls) and PPE for Category 2 and 3 work are standard. The equipment is matched to the loss after the on site assessment, not loaded blind.
Yes, we handle reconstruction in house after the dry out is complete, so Kensington homeowners do not need to find and schedule a separate general contractor. The same company that extracted the water and dried the structure hangs new drywall, replaces flooring, reinstalls trim and baseboards, repaints affected areas, and completes finish carpentry. The project runs under one claim, one project manager, and one schedule from emergency dispatch through final walk through. That continuity eliminates the weeks of delay that typically happen when a separate contractor has to be sourced after the dry out. Ask about the full scope process when you call.
