Schedule Your Free Damage Assessment
Our inspection of a Kensington home is a room by room walkthrough, not a glance. Walls are measured with non penetrating meters at multiple heights to catch wicking above the visible water line, then confirmed with a penetrating meter where readings spike. We check baseboards and trim, subfloor seams, insulation in suspect cavities, behind cabinets and appliances, under sinks, around water heaters and washing machines, and the full basement perimeter where slab and wall meet. Thermal imaging maps hidden moisture behind finished surfaces, and a hygrometer captures ambient temperature and humidity so drying targets are realistic. The reason for this thoroughness in Kensington homes is simple: undetected moisture is what feeds mold colonies that surface a month later, long after the visible water is gone.
I agree to be contacted by Kensington Water Restoration regarding my inquiry.
When water hits a Kensington home, the clock starts immediately. Materials begin to absorb moisture. Drywall and carpet hold water. Within 24 to 48 hours, mold can start. Within days, structural drying becomes harder. The response window for keeping a water emergency from becoming a much bigger problem is short, and we know it.
Emergency water removal is the sprint; structural drying is the marathon. The best Kensington restoration work pulls the bulk water in hours, then places air movers and dehumidification to chase moisture out of studs, subfloor, and cavities over the following days, monitored and documented throughout.
From the first call to the final walkthrough, one accountable crew handles your Kensington loss: extraction, drying, documentation, and coordination with your insurance carrier. No handoffs, no chasing subcontractors, no wondering who owns the outcome.

Local Expertise, Real Results
Restoration is the only work we do, and that focus is what Kensington homeowners feel from the first phone call.
When you discover water in your Kensington home, you have a short window to make decisions that affect the next 30 days of your life. Kensington Water Restoration answers Kensington emergency calls 24 hours a day with a typical 2 hour dispatch on emergencies, IICRC trained crews, and the documentation your insurance carrier requires from photo one.
Kensington Water Restoration provides water damage restoration in Kensington and the surrounding Hendricks County area, responding to homes across the broader service region day and night. Restoration is the only work we do, which means every truck dispatched to Kensington arrives stocked for extraction, drying, and the rebuild that follows. Our crews are experienced technicians, licensed and insured, led by IICRC certified technicians rather than crew. That structure matters when a Kensington homeowner is standing in a flooded basement at 3 AM and needs one accountable team from the first call through the final walk through.
Every job we run in Kensington follows the IICRC S500 standard for water damage restoration, with mold work performed to the S520 standard when contamination is found. The process starts with a moisture assessment using thermal imaging and penetrating meters, then moves into controlled extraction, structural drying with monitored dehumidification and air movement, antimicrobial application where conditions warrant, and verification readings before any reconstruction begins. Skipping a step in that sequence is how trapped moisture turns into mold thirty days later. Working to the standard is slower on day one and far cheaper for the homeowner on day forty.
Our Promise
Three commitments to every Kensington homeowner who calls. First, fast emergency response, dispatched day or night, because every hour without extraction expands the affected area. Second, IICRC certified technicians trained to the S500 standard, working with calibrated meters and commercial drying equipment rather than guesswork. Third, a free on site inspection before any work begins, and full coordination with your insurance carrier if you have an active claim, so you understand the scope and the documentation supports a clean claim process.
What We Do in Kensington That Others Skip
IICRC certified technicians, documented moisture mapping, and a single accountable crew from extraction through reconstruction for Kensington homes.
Around the Clock Dispatch
Water damage does not wait for business hours, and neither do we. Call our 24/7 emergency line and a crew is dispatched to your Kensington address with extraction equipment, dehumidifiers, and air movers already loaded. Starting mitigation quickly is what limits secondary damage to flooring, drywall, and framing.
IICRC S500 Discipline
Our technicians are IICRC certified and work to the S500 standard for water damage restoration. In practice that means every loss is classified by Category and Class, moisture readings are logged, and drying continues until materials match unaffected baselines. Kensington homeowners get a defensible, documented process instead of a guess.
Mitigation Through Rebuild
The crew that extracts the water also hangs the new drywall, sets the trim, and rolls the final coat of paint. One company handles the full scope, so there is no gap between dry out and reconstruction where your Kensington home sits half demolished waiting on a separate contractor.
Insurance Coordination
We work with your insurance carrier from the first walkthrough, with photo documentation, written moisture maps, and a scope of work tied to the IICRC standard. Proper documentation is what turns a stressful claim into a clean one. We coordinate with your adjuster so you can focus on your family.
Real Jobs. Real Results.

Inside the Work at Kensington Water Restoration
The first phase on any Kensington job is moisture assessment and Category determination. A certified technician walks the property with thermal imaging and meters, identifies the source (broken supply line, dishwasher hose, sewer backup, storm intrusion through a compromised envelope), and classifies the water as Category 1, 2, or 3 per IICRC S500. The full scope of affected materials is mapped before a single piece of drying equipment is staged. This usually takes one to two hours and sets the foundation for everything that follows, including the insurance conversation.
Phase two is documentation and insurance coordination. Before any mitigation starts, every affected area is photographed and video walked, with a written moisture map showing meter readings by location. We contact your insurance adjuster directly, present the scope of work, and tie our mitigation activity to the standard the carrier expects. Most Kensington homeowners never have to translate technical language to their adjuster because we are already speaking it. The carrier sees a documented, justified scope, which is what moves a claim forward without back and forth delays.
Phase three is drying execution followed by reconstruction. Air movers and dehumidifiers are placed using structural drying calculations based on affected square footage and material types, then monitored daily with readings logged until materials hit the dry standard. Controlled demolition removes only what cannot be saved. Then reconstruction begins: drywall, insulation, flooring, paint, trim, doors, and finish carpentry, bringing the Kensington home back to pre loss condition. Sequencing the work this way keeps the project moving without the typical gap between dry out and rebuild.
Rapid Emergency Dispatch
Trucks roll to Kensington loaded with extraction equipment, commercial dehumidifiers, and air movers, led by an IICRC certified technician. Extraction begins on arrival to limit how far water spreads into flooring assemblies and wall cavities. The faster standing water is removed, the less material has to come out later.
Category Determination
Every loss is classified per IICRC S500 protocol. Category 1 (clean supply line water), Category 2 (gray water from appliances or toilet overflow without solids), and Category 3 (sewage, floodwater, long standing contamination) each demand a different response. The written assessment drives equipment selection, PPE, and which materials can be dried versus removed.
Insurance Partnership
We work with your insurance carrier, not around them. The scope is justified with photos, moisture maps, and meter readings tied to industry standards. There are transparent invoicing.
Verified Dry Standard
Drying continues until moisture content in affected materials matches unaffected baselines, confirmed by daily meter readings. Reconstruction does not start until those numbers are met. That discipline is what prevents the call thirty days later about a musty smell behind new drywall.
Common Water Damage Causes in Kensington
Appliance Failures
Dishwashers, washing machines, refrigerator ice maker lines, and water heaters fail without warning. Slow leaks behind appliances can run weeks before the wall behind them shows visible damage.
Roof Leak Reaching the Ceiling
A ceiling that bulges is holding water above it, and standing under it to poke a hole is how people get hurt. We relieve it in a controlled way, extract what comes down, and pull the soaked insulation, because insulation that has been saturated does not dry in place.
Vacant Property Freeze
A loss discovered days after it started is a different scope than one caught in an hour. Water has been standing, humidity has been high, and growth has had time, so this work usually starts with containment before any drying equipment goes in.
Toilet Wax Ring and Flange Failure
Any toilet that rocks slightly under you has already broken its seal. Every flush sends a little water into the floor around the flange. In Kensington homes with a bath over living space, the ceiling stain arrives months after the rocking started.
Frozen Pipe in an Exterior Wall
Kitchen sinks on outside walls, second floor baths over unheated garages, and any run through a rim joist are the usual spots. Opening cabinet doors on the coldest nights and letting a fixture trickle costs nothing and prevents most of these.
Tub and Shower Pan Leaks
Tub surrounds leak at the spout penetration, at the valve escutcheon, and where the deck meets the wall. Any of the three puts water behind the surround, soaking framing and subfloor without ever running across the bathroom floor.
What to Do While You Wait for a Water Damage Crew in Kensington
Before the crew gets to your Kensington home, focus on the water source and on safety. The checklist below covers both, plus a few things that protect your floors and belongings while you wait.
1. Stop the source
For a toilet or a washing machine, close the small shutoff valve behind it. If the leak is bigger, or you can't tell where it starts, close the main valve for the whole house and leave it off until our crew checks the source.
2. Unplug what you can reach safely
If a lamp or a space heater is plugged in near the water and the floor around it is still dry, unplug it and carry it to a dry room. Leave anything that's sitting in water exactly where it is for the crew.
3. Keep everyone on dry ground
Set up a spot in a dry part of the house for kids and pets while you work through this list. Floodwater and sewage both carry germs, and wet stairs and floors are easy to slip on.
4. Get belongings off the floor
Lift loose items and boxes onto a table or a bed in a dry room. Storage bins with snap lids can wait a little longer, but open cardboard boxes should come out of the water first.
5. Keep stains off the carpet
Metal furniture feet can rust, and wood finishes can bleed into wet carpet. A square of foil or a plastic container lid under each leg keeps both off the carpet, and it takes only a few minutes to do.
6. Leave the record to us
You have enough to deal with in the first hour. Our crew documents the damage with photos and moisture readings as soon as we arrive, and we walk you through what we found once the work is underway.
7. Use the right tools for small spills
Towels and a mop handle a small amount of clean water. For more than that, use a shop vac rated for wet pickup, and keep regular household vacuums away from the water.
8. Have a few details ready
It helps to know roughly when the water started and whether it's clean water from a pipe or dirty water from a drain. If you're unsure about either one, the crew sorts it out on site.
After these steps, the next move is a call to our dispatch line so a crew can start extraction at your Kensington home.
Three Simple Steps
Whether the water came from a pipe or a storm, the job moves through these same steps.
The First Call
Emergency calls skip the queue, and a crew is dispatched within 2 hours. Fast response is the whole reason the line stays staffed.
Inspection and the File
The scope you sign is the scope we bill. The documentation is yours to keep, claim or no claim. We measure the dry areas too, so there is a baseline to prove against.
Verified Dry
The last day is measured, not estimated. Water out, air movers in, materials dried, structure restored. Verification happens before reconstruction, most Kensington dry outs inside 3 to 5 days.
How the Photo Report Works After Water Damage in Kensington
Our crew takes the damage photos and moisture readings when we arrive, and those go into a photo report that's yours to keep. It answers the first questions homeowners usually have, starting with what got wet and what can be saved.
The source, in pictures
Whether it was a cracked pipe or a sump pump that quit, the first photos in the report show the source up close and in the context of the room around it. That helps your plumber see the same thing we saw.
Water you can't see
Water often ends up somewhere out of sight, like under cabinets or inside a wall cavity. The report shows those spots with readings and photos so nothing gets closed back up while it's still wet.
Pictures you can keep
Every photo in the report comes from our crew, taken on site during each visit. You keep a copy of the full set, which is handy if you sell the house later and a buyer asks about the water damage.
Saving what can be saved
Drying in place is usually less disruptive than tearing out and replacing, and the readings show when it's possible. The report notes what the crew is drying in place and what it plans to remove, with photos of both.
Daily readings while it dries
While the equipment runs, the crew comes back to take new readings, and those go into the report too. You can follow the numbers as they drop and see which rooms are closest to finished.
We walk you through it
Once the first readings are in, we sit down with you and go through the report in plain language. You can see what's going on inside your walls from your living room and ask about anything that doesn't make sense.
Deciding with your insurance company
We document damage with a photo report and walk you through what we found, so you can decide with your insurance company. Read your own policy to see what it covers, because each one is a little different.
Call our dispatch line, and the crew will begin your photo report as soon as they reach your Kensington home.
Questions to Ask a Water Damage Company in Kensington
Clear answers to these questions make it easier to compare restoration companies in Kensington.
Can I see an itemized estimate?
Ask for every line item in writing. Many insurers price water losses in Xactimate, so an estimate in that format is easier for an adjuster to review.
Does my policy require a certain company?
Ask your adjuster before you sign anything, and read the work authorization so you know what you're agreeing to.
What happens if you find mold?
Ask how mold behind walls or under floors gets handled, and whether that work is priced apart from the drying.
Who handles repairs after drying?
Ask who replaces drywall, flooring, paint and trim once the structure is dry, and whether one company can do both stages.
Who will be working in my home?
Ask whether the crew works for the company you called or for a subcontractor, and who's in charge on site each day.
How will you show me it's dry?
Ask for moisture readings on the first visit and the last one, so you can see the numbers reach dry standard.
Indiana Weather Drives Restoration Calls Year Round
Indiana weather drives a predictable rhythm of water damage calls across Kensington. Winter cold snaps freeze and split supply lines in exterior walls and crawl spaces. Spring saturates Hendricks County clay until groundwater pushes through foundation joints. Summer storms force wind driven rain through compromised envelopes, and high humidity accelerates mold in any space not fully dried.
Winter Pipe Bursts
Indiana cold snaps regularly drop temperatures into the single digits, and that is when supply lines in exterior walls, crawl spaces, and unconditioned basements freeze and split. A burst quarter inch line can release hundreds of gallons before anyone notices. When called to a Kensington home with a frozen pipe failure, we extract, set containment, and begin structural drying the same visit.
Spring Saturation Flooding
Hendricks County clay soils hold water, and after a wet spring the ground around foundations stays saturated for weeks. Hydrostatic pressure pushes groundwater through wall cracks, cove joints, and around floor drains into Kensington basements. We extract the standing water, dry the affected materials, and treat any biological contamination from prolonged exposure.
Severe Thunderstorms
Central Indiana summer storms bring straight line winds and heavy rainfall that overwhelms gutters and forces water into homes through compromised envelopes and window wells. Wind driven rain finds gaps that never leak in normal weather. When storm water enters a Kensington home, we identify the intrusion path, extract, dry, and document the damage for your insurance claim.
Summer Humidity and Mold
Indiana summer dew points routinely sit above seventy, and any unaddressed moisture in a basement, crawl space, or under cabinet area becomes a mold incubator within days. Mold colonization begins in the 24 to 48 hour window after wetting. Our crews apply IICRC S520 protocols when remediation is needed, with containment and HEPA filtration to keep spores from spreading.

What Our Crew Sees in Kensington
IMPORTANT RESEARCH FINDING: 'Kensington, IN' could not be verified as an existing incorporated town, unincorporated community, or census designated place in Indiana. Indiana search results returned only Kensington named subdivisions within other cities: Kensington Boulevard Historic District in Fort Wayne, Kensington Place in Carmel, Kensington Farms in Indianapolis, and Kensington Grove near Greenwood/Johnson County. Publishing location specific content for a non existent or unverifiable place risks credibility damage. We recommend confirming the intended location, it may be one of the above subdivisions, or a zip code or county area, before drafting content.

What Each Phase of the Job Covers in Kensington
What the equipment does, what containment is for, and who rebuilds.
Emergency response on a Kensington Category 1 or Category 2 loss starts the moment our truck pulls up. Onboard equipment includes commercial water extraction equipment sized for the affected area, commercial dehumidifiers matched to the cubic footage, professional air movers, calibrated moisture meters, and thermal imaging. Extraction begins promptly, and structural drying is set the same day so the home is actively losing moisture before our crew leaves the first visit. Daily monitoring follows, with readings logged at each visit until materials hit the dry standard. Inside the home, work zones are contained with plastic, unaffected areas are protected, and walkways are kept clear. You get a clear picture of what is happening day by day, what equipment stays running, and when the next milestone hits.
Category 3 water (sewage backup, floodwater, long stagnant contamination) and full mold remediation per IICRC S520 require a different posture. The work area is sealed with six mil plastic barriers floor to ceiling, with taped seams and sealed entry points. Negative air machines pull contained air through HEPA filtration before exhausting outside, so contamination does not migrate into clean areas of the Kensington home. Technicians wear full PPE per the standard: Tyvek suits, respirators rated for the hazard, nitrile gloves, and eye protection. Contaminated porous materials are cut, bagged, and disposed of rather than dried in place. Remaining structure receives an antimicrobial application, and when warranted we use post remediation air sampling to verify the space is safe to occupy. This is the phase where shortcuts cause long term health problems, and IICRC discipline matters most.
Reconstruction is where most restoration jobs in Kensington stall, because most companies hand off after drying to a separate general contractor. Two crews, two schedules, two billing cycles, and weeks of the home sitting in demolition while paperwork moves between offices. We handle the rebuild ourselves. Drywall hung, taped, mudded, sanded, primed, and painted. Flooring replaced (carpet and pad, vinyl plank, hardwood refinish, tile reset). Trim and baseboards reinstalled or replaced, doors rehung, cabinetry repaired or replaced, and finish carpentry completed. One project manager is your point of contact from the first phone call through the final walk through, with one schedule moving the home from wet to finished. That continuity is what gets Kensington homeowners back into a normal kitchen, a normal basement, a normal living room without the usual gap.
What Happens During the Days Your Kensington Home Is Drying
Drying is the longest part of a water job, and it happens while you're living in the house. The notes below cover what the equipment does and what the crew needs from you while it runs.
The equipment runs around the clock
Air movers and dehumidifiers run day and night, and they make a steady hum you'll hear through the house. The sound means air is moving across the wet surfaces, which is how the moisture gets pulled out.
Leave it where the crew set it
Each air mover is aimed at a specific wall or section of floor. Leave the units where they are and keep them running overnight. If one needs to move, call us and the crew will reposition it.
Keep windows closed
Open windows let humid outdoor air in, and the dehumidifiers then have to dry that air too. Keep the windows shut in the rooms being dried until the crew tells you to open them.
Your electric bill
Running several machines for days will raise your electric bill for that month, and that's a normal part of drying a home. The crew removes each unit as soon as the readings say its area is dry.
Pets and drying rooms
Pets tend to be curious about the noise and the warm air, so keep them out of the drying rooms when you can. A gate across the doorway works if a door has to stay open.
Tell us what you notice
You live in the house, so you'll notice changes between visits, like a new stain or a smell that wasn't there before. Mention them on the next visit, or call us if something seems wrong.
If you're worried about mold
CDC doesn't recommend mold testing, and EPA says homeowners can usually clean moldy areas under about 10 square feet themselves. If you see or smell mold during the dry out, point it out to the crew on their next visit.
Finishing the dry out
Drying wraps up room by room, so some units may leave before others. When the last readings come back dry, the crew removes the rest of the equipment and walks the house with you.
If something about the setup gets in the way of your household, call us, and the crew will look at it with you on their next visit.
