A call from Lake Station is answered on the 24/7 line. The first questions are the same as elsewhere: the main, the power to the wet area, the source of the water and how deep it stands.

Local weather drives activity here: heat, humidity and rain change what shows up week to week.
What does the first hour look like in Lake Station?
The first hour is about the source and the power. A supply line is closed at the main, and any panel or outlet in the water is left off until it is confirmed dry. The photographs follow, and then the water is pumped out in stages.
The readings begin at the lowest point of the water and move outward. The same points are measured on every check, and the owner is shown each reading.
Who answers the permit questions in Lake Station?
The city's building department answers questions about permits and inspections. The owner should ask before any work that opens a wall or changes a line begins, and should keep the answer with the restoration file.
Indiana rules apply on this side of the county, and a permit that is needed but not sought can cause problems with a later claim or sale.
What should the owner record?
The time the water was first seen, where it went and what was removed are the three facts the record needs. The photographs and the readings are the evidence for each one.
Keep the receipts for any plumber or electrician and the insurer's letters in the same file.
What should the technician be told about the water's history?
Tell the technician how the water arrived, whether it came from a line, a drain, the ground or a storm, and whether it has come back since the first time. A water loss that repeats in the same place is read differently, because the first drying may not have reached the path the water is using.
Tell the technician about any earlier repair, a recent roof job or a change to the grade outside. Those details help set the readings and show where the path may still be open.
Which finishes usually come out first?
Carpet and pad that have been wet over a damp floor are usually removed, since they hold water against the subfloor. Baseboard that has soaked is removed where the readings are high, and drywall is opened only where the readings stay high after drying.
Hard flooring is lifted only where the subfloor or the finish has cupped or lifted. Hard surfaces that are sound are cleaned and kept, and the record notes each one.
One call and it gets handled.
A crew is dispatched as fast as one is available, and you approve the estimate before any work starts.

FAQ
Lake Station FAQs
Where is Lake Station?
Lake Station is a city in Lake County, Indiana, south-east of Gary.
Does the line answer calls from Lake Station?
Yes. Calls from the city are answered on the same 24/7 line as the rest of the service area.
Who issues permits in Lake Station?
The city's building department. Ask before any work that opens a wall or changes a line.
What do I do if my basement is flooding now?
Keep out of the water, close the main if you can reach it, keep the power off to the basement, and call (833) 490-5225.
Can I stay in the house during the drying?
Often yes, provided the power to the wet area is safe and the equipment is kept out of the rooms where people sleep. The technician says which rooms must be kept closed.
Why are the carpet edges checked when the middle of the room is dry?
Water runs to the edges and gathers under the pad at the wall base, so the middle of a room can dry while the edge stays wet. The readings are taken at the edge for that reason.
