Storm Damage Restoration in Northwest Indiana →What Damages Property in Highland
The project's completion was marked at Highland's Wicker Park Social Center, and levees and flood walls lower the risk of river flooding. They do not control rain falling on your own street. Intense rain can still fill sanitary sewers until water comes up through basement floor drains, and that water is sewage, not clean rainwater.
A backflow valve installed by a licensed plumber is the main protection against sewer backup, and a sump pump with battery backup helps when storms knock out power. In the August 11, 2026 derecho, a tree branch impaled a ceiling in Highland, a reminder that wind damage lets water in from above. Whichever way it arrives, call us early so wet materials come out before mold starts.
How We Handle Losses in Highland
Highland lies in Lake County along the Little Calumet River. Sewer backups, basement seepage, wind and tree damage, roof leaks and winter pipe freezes are the losses we prepare for here, and river protection does not remove the need to prepare for them.
Mold usually follows water in Highland homes. A basement that took on water and was not dried to verified targets, a slow leak inside a wall, or a crawl space that stays damp through a humid summer can grow mold within days. We contain the area, remove affected materials, HEPA clean, and correct the moisture source. After a fire, we board up, remove firefighting water from the basement, clean soot, and treat smoke odor in ductwork and wall cavities so it does not return. Storm calls in Highland usually mean roof tarping, board-up, and drying ceilings and walls after wind-driven rain or ice dams. Every job is documented with photos and daily moisture readings, which your adjuster can review and which show when the structure is actually dry.
