Water Damage, Mold and Restoration Companies in the Muncie, Indiana Area

What Makes Muncie Different

Muncie sits on the White River in east central Indiana, and the river winds right through the city. Heavy spring rain and snowmelt raise the river and the creeks that feed it, and homes on low ground near the water take the most risk. Floodwater from outside is always contaminated, and a standard homeowners policy does not cover it.

Spring and summer storms bring hail, strong wind, heavy rain and tornado warnings. Winters bring hard freezes and ice, and pipes in exterior walls, garages and crawlspaces freeze and split. Ice dams form on homes with little attic insulation and push meltwater into ceilings and walls.

Muncie has many older homes from its manufacturing years, and many were built long before 1978, so test for lead paint and asbestos before any demolition. Most homes have basements, and a sump pump with a battery backup prevents a lot of damage. Wet drywall and carpet pad can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours.
