Kustom Damage Restoration & Environmental Abatement | Fort Wayne, IN

In Fort Wayne, freeze-thaw cycles can cause water damage that often starts with subtle signs. Look for cracking or bubbling paint on exterior walls, especially near windows and doors. Inside, you might notice damp spots on ceilings or walls, musty odors, or peeling wallpaper. These issues often arise after a thaw, as ice dams or trapped moisture from snowmelt seep into your home's structure. If you spot these signs, it's crucial to act quickly to prevent mold growth or structural weakening.

When storm water floods a basement in Fort Wayne, our team first stops the water source and extracts standing water using industrial pumps. We then dry the area thoroughly with air movers and dehumidifiers to prevent mold. After drying, we assess and remove any damaged materials like wet insulation, drywall, or flooring. Finally, we apply antimicrobial treatments and complete restoration, including repairs to prevent future intrusion. Our goal is to restore your basement to a safe, dry condition.
