Water Damage Restoration in Lakeshores
Lakeshores is a verified neighborhood in the southwest Fort Wayne area, cited in the City of Fort Wayne's Waynedale 2040 planning documents. The neighborhood name suggests proximity to water features, which correlates with elevated flood plain risk and the potential for recurring stormwater intrusion into basements and crawl spaces during intense rain events. Mid-20th century construction common to this part of Fort Wayne means sump pump systems,where installed,may be aging, and original plumbing may include galvanized steel segments prone to interior corrosion and reduced flow capacity over decades of service.
We have served Lakeshores homeowners through the full range of water emergencies, from burst pipes and basement flooding to mold remediation and sewage cleanup. Whatever the source, our Avalon crew responds 24/7 and works with your insurance carrier on approved claims.
What Should You Do First When Water Gets Into a Home in Lakeshores?
Shut off the water and keep people out of any room where water is near outlets or a sagging ceiling. Once that's handled, the rest of the first hour goes to protecting your things and making a couple of calls.
Look Before You Step Down
Before you walk into a flooded basement, check where the water sits compared to outlets and any appliances on the floor. If it's touching them, stay on the stairs until the power to the basement is off.
Can't Find the Shutoff?
Check near the water meter or where the water line comes through the foundation wall, often in a basement or crawl space. If it's still hidden, call us and use towels to keep the water from spreading while you wait.
Clear a Path
Move cars out of the driveway and clear a path to the wet area so our crew can bring hoses and equipment straight in. If the water's in the basement, make sure the stairs are clear and lit.
Write Down the Time
Note when you found the water and when you shut it off. That timeline helps our crew plan the drying, and it's handy to have when you talk with your insurance company.
What Goes Into the Photo Report on a Water Job in Lakeshores?
The photo report holds pictures of where the water came from and every area it reached, along with moisture readings from each room. Our crew takes all of those photos on site, so there's nothing you need to set up for it.
The first wet spot our crew traced the water back to, with a photo that shows what failed there.
Ceilings and walls below the leak, photographed wherever stains or bubbling paint show up.
The date and location of every reading, labeled the same way each time so the progress is easy to follow.
Furniture and boxes the water touched, with photos that show the damage before they're moved.
Baseboards and trim pulled for drying, with photos of the wall behind them.
We document damage with a photo report and walk you through what we found, so you can decide with your insurance company. Read through your policy to see what it covers before you make any decisions about repairs.

The schedule starts with extraction and setup on the first visit, followed by return checks until every marked spot reads dry. How many checks it takes depends on the materials and how long they were wet.
Before the Crew Leaves
At the end of the first visit, the crew shows you what's running and where the readings were taken. Leave all of it on overnight, because EPA's mold guide ties mold prevention to drying wet materials within 24 to 48 hours.
What You'll See on a Check
You'll see the crew with a moisture meter at the same spots each time, writing down what they find. Ask them how today's readings compare with the last check.
The Readings Decide
The readings at each marked spot decide when drying is done. Ask the crew to show you the final numbers for each spot before the equipment comes out.
Fixing the Cause
Once the job's done, get whatever caused the leak repaired, like an old supply line or a slow drain. The photo report shows where it started, which helps whoever does that repair.
