Expert Water Damage Restoration for Frankfort Homeowners

Standing water near outlets, cords or appliances in your Frankfort home is a safety problem before it's a drying problem. If you can reach the breaker panel from a dry spot, shut off power to the wet area. Stay out of water when you can't see the floor under it. Frankfort Water Restoration dispatches a crew within 2 hours, and the crew checks for electrical hazards before anyone walks in.

Aaron Christy founded the company behind Frankfort Water Restoration in 2018. On every job in Frankfort, the crew takes readings before removing anything and shows you those readings as it goes. Drying stops when the wet materials match dry ones elsewhere in your house, and you keep the log that shows it, along with the full photo report.

Extraction comes first on every job in Frankfort. The crew pumps out standing water, then runs weighted extraction tools over carpet and pad to pull out what they're holding. Water trapped behind baseboards or inside a wall comes out through small openings near the floor. Frankfort Water Restoration sets up the drying equipment once the pooled water is gone, because water left behind adds days.

Frankfort Water Restoration documents the damage in your Frankfort home with a photo report and walks you through what the crew found. You decide what to do with it, including whether to call your insurance company. The report covers where the water came from, which rooms got wet, the moisture readings and what was removed. It's yours to keep and share with anyone you choose.

Call Frankfort Water Restoration as soon as you find water in your Frankfort home. Every hour it sits, more drywall, insulation and flooring soak it up. A crew dispatches within 2 hours with pumps, dehumidifiers and moisture meters, and your photo report starts on that first visit.

Our Process

How Frankfort Water Restoration Handles Water Damage Restoration

We follow these steps in order on every Frankfort job.

1

The First Call

You describe where the water is coming from in your Frankfort home and which rooms it has reached. Frankfort Water Restoration talks you through shutting off the water and power safely, and tells you what to leave in place so the crew can photograph it.

2

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.

3

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.

4

Removing What Won't Dry

Materials that the readings show won't dry, such as saturated drywall and swollen trim, get cut out along measured lines and bagged. You see a photo and hear the reason for each removal before the cut is made.

5

Daily Monitoring

A technician comes back every day while the equipment runs, reads the same marked spots and moves equipment to the slowest areas. You hear what changed and how many days of drying are likely left.

Common Questions

Water Damage Restoration FAQ

Questions Frankfort homeowners ask us about water damage restoration.

A small leak is worth a call, because a slow drip under a sink or a faint ceiling stain can leave a lot of water inside cabinets and wall cavities in your Frankfort home, and what you see is often a fraction of what's wet. The crew takes readings to learn how far the moisture spread and tells you whether the area can dry in place. Frankfort Water Restoration gives small jobs the same photo report and daily readings as larger ones.
Stop the source if you can and call right away, because the longer materials stay wet, the more of them have to come out. Once the crew starts, let the drying run until the readings say it's finished, since stopping early can mean a second round of work. Frankfort Water Restoration also keeps removal in your Frankfort home to what the readings support, and you see the reason for each cut 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. Frankfort Water Restoration documents conditions in your Frankfort home before anything is removed, so the adjuster can see what the crew found even if the visit comes later.
Frankfort Water Restoration is part of the company Aaron Christy founded in 2018, and he still leads it as Founder and CEO. The company holds a BBB A+ rating, has been BBB accredited since 2019 and was named one of the 2025 Best Places to Work in Indiana. Its water restoration manager is IICRC certified. Crews work water damage calls across central Indiana, including Frankfort, and every job gets a photo report and a written scope you approve.
Sometimes. Getting the water out fast, opening wet cavities and keeping the house closed up on humid days all help. Heat can speed drying in cold weather. Hardwood, plaster and subfloor still set the pace, because they release water at their own rate. Frankfort Water Restoration tells you the likely timeline on the first day and updates it each day from the readings in your Frankfort home.
Where the water started shapes the whole plan. It tells the crew what protective gear the job needs and which wet materials can be dried in place, so they find the source, photograph it and note how long the water sat before anybody saw it. If it came up from a sewer line, the job gets containment and protective gear from the start. All of it goes in the photo report Frankfort Water Restoration gives you for your Frankfort home.
Yes. If the crew finds mold while drying your Frankfort home, Frankfort Water Restoration walks you through where it is and what removing it involves. The work follows the IICRC S520, with plastic containment, HEPA filtered air and removal of the affected material. Drying continues at the same time, since mold returns to anything left wet. The mold work gets its own line on the scope, so you can see it separately.
Pulling up some standing water with towels is fine if it's clean water and safe to reach. Household fans and a shop vac won't dry the water that soaked into subfloors, walls and insulation, and that hidden water is what causes the bigger problems. Frankfort Water Restoration dispatches a crew within 2 hours with equipment built for that job. Until the crew gets there, focus on stopping the source and staying safe.
The crew makes small openings near the baseboard or removes a thin strip of drywall along the floor, then pushes dry air through the stud bay with air movers and hoses made for that purpose. Meters read the framing and the back of the drywall each day to confirm the cavity is drying. When the water was contaminated, or the readings stall, the wall has to open further. Frankfort Water Restoration explains which case applies in your Frankfort home.
It depends on the scope. Drywall and paint in one room often take a few working days once the house is dry. New flooring can add a few more, depending on the material and when it arrives. A full kitchen or bathroom takes longer. Frankfort Water Restoration gives you a written repair schedule before work starts, so you know what's happening each day in your Frankfort home.
