Restoration 1 of Evansville Provides
Flooded Basement/Crawlspace
Restoration Services
Unwanted water will enter your home in several different ways for several different reasons. Sewage backups, burst pipes, appliance leaks, water heater leaks, and rain entering through cracks in your foundation are the most common reasons why the most common area of a home to get flooded is your basement or crawlspace. We can restore your property damage including crawlspace or basement flooding.
Your Basement is Flooded – Now What?
Your basement or crawlspace can flood easily with several inches to several feet of groundwater or rainwater during the heavy rainy season. Items in your home such as furniture, carpeting, appliances and personal items are at risk of being damaged by water, leading to a devastating experience. We can help restore your home back to pre-flood conditions.
Things to do immediately after a basement flood.
- Checking for structural damage, such as cracks, holes or warping to keep you from getting injured should be a first priority to make sure your home is safe to enter.
- Immediately shut off the electrical supply to your home if you can get to it safely. If you can’t get to it, call a professional.
- Shut off the main water supply to prevent further water infiltration.
- All flood waters contain some type of dangerous contaminants.
- So it’s important to avoid direct contact with the floodwater unless you are wearing protective gear.
- Contact your insurance company as soon as possible and take photos/video, and document all damaged items.
- For basement flood cleanup, call R1 of Evansville, your restoration professionals.

They came out and checked our crawl space for mold due to a down poor of rain one night and our sump pump was off due to no electricity to our house. We had a house fire so there wasn’t any electricity.

Mike Perry was extremely helpful in scheduling the remediation appointment, and helping me deal with my insurance to get my mold problems solved.

About a month ago I had a loss and my basement filled up with water, so I called restoration 1 of Evansville. Shortly after I called Brian, Mike, and Shane showed and explained to me in detail the scope of work and even help me get ahold of my insurance company and helped me learn what my coverage limits where they gave me a set do not exceed number and they followed that. They began extracting water, and started the mitigation the same day. Steve and Kevin came out the next day and finished the job and started drying and got my house returned to a safe manner. Restoration 1 of Evansville was very professional and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. I will use them for any future losses I have.

From our fist visit from Mike Perry to our last visit with Shane Wilhite we were totally satisfied. The tear out crew (Chris n Ozzie) protected our home with protective coverings and cleanly carried out all damaged materials. Several visits in the drying out and treating mold process were excellent and kept us informed of process and progress. The final removal of all the equipment, done by Shane, was quick and cleaned up and hauled off. Left our home in same condition they found it except for the damaged debris that was removed.If you have water or mole damage, Restoration1 is who you need to call. Professional, courteous, through and easy to talk to. Price was same as estimated so we’re happy.

I had a fire in the fall, during the evening.I called and left a message probably around 10pm.They had responded sometime after I went to bed and again at 5am saying they’d be at my house at 9 that morning.From the time they arrived they were nothing but helpful. The guys are so nice! So understanding as I processed the huge mess caused by the fire.Answered all my questions and were honest and transparent with any information I needed to know.They did an excellent job removing the smoke damage from my home. They were fast too!Multiple contractors complimented the quality of their work.They called me regularly even after they were done, just to check up on how the repairs were coming along and if I needed anything they might be able to help with. I truly appreciated this. It is clear they care.I hope for obvious reasons I never have to call them for this kind of thing again, but if I do, they are the only company on the list! The only guys I will work with. There is no other option.They are absolutely wonderful!Call them and thank me later!

After only living in our house for a couple of months our washer overflowed causing water damage to several rooms on our main floor. We were devastated. The people at Restoration 1 came in and we’re very helpful and a tentative from the get-go. They were reassuring professional and kept us up-to-date during the whole process. We hope to never have to go through a situation like this in the future, but if we do, we know who to call. We highly recommend Restoration 1 and their employees.

I had sewage backup in my house. I looked online for a company who dealt with this kind of mess. I called Restoration 1 and I am so glad I did. Mike met me that same day at my house. I can't thank Mike and Brian enough. They were helpful in talking to my insurance company and letting me know everything would be cleaned and taken care of. Thanks again! Lisa

Everyone we dealt with at Restoration 1 was professional, kind and knowledgeable. They worked so hard and really seemed to care about our predicament. Matt has really gone to bat for us with our insurance company. The letters, emails and phones calls have gone beyond what I’d expect out of any company. It’s definitely appreciated!! I’ll definitely recommend them and if we ever need any of the services they offer we will give them a call. Thanks so much for being a top notch company that really cares about their customers!

R1 did an excellent job with mold remediation in our home's crawl space. R1 responded quickly and assessed our problem and Brian explained what was going on and exactly what it would take to permanently resolve the issue. The service was completed quickly and everyone was professional and courteous during the complete process. I have and will continue to recommend R1 for any job you may have.

Mold or mildew? We weren’t sure so I called to set up a mold inspection. Brian reached out within an hour of my inquiry and although he wasn’t able to service my area, he took the time to ask questions and walk me through how to handle the problem appropriately by reviewing pictures. His friendly advise was above his call of duty.

I highly recommend Restoration 1. They were quick to respond any time I called them and they are the only company out of three who even recognized that I had mold in my basement. We agreed on a price and the crew was here the very next morning. Brian Fitzgerald is very knowledgeable, helpful and personable. The entire crew was very professional yet friendly and full of smiles. They sure didn’t mind working for their pay. It was easy to see that this company cares about their customers and the issues they are facing. They did a great job, above and beyond, and left me with confidence that my house is safe and clear of mold. So much thanks to Brian and his crew!!!!!

My kitchen flooded from a leaky valve in our dishwasher. By the time we realized there was a problem the whole floor was damaged. I initially called another business. They treated me as if I was not intelligent enough to understand their process. I thankfully then found Restoration1. This was such a blessing. They came right out, assessed the damage, and laid out a restoration plan. They put up the drying equipment and checked it daily to see the progress. They went above and beyond to make a horrible situation better. They made sure my kitchen was “safe” for my family (specifically my toddler) while we wait for our kitchen to be rebuilt. They cleaned absolutely everything before they left, including a detailed vacuum! This was above and beyond and we are so thankful.They coordinated to have a rebuild company come to provide an estimate. This was very much appreciated since most contractors in the area are overwhelmed right now.If you want a company that treats you with respect while you deal with the stress of damage, this is the company for you.

The tech's were very professional and courteous. They arrived at scheduled time. Work was beyond expectations. Our dog was sprayed by a skunk. They cleaned out duct work and sanitized them. They exchanged out my sump pump that was bad also. Can not say enough nice things about this company. 5 star! Will definitely use again!

We had a sewage drain back up in our basement. They took care of all damaged items and hauled them off, kept track of the damages, and did very good on the cleaning. They were fantastic to work with and assisted us with our insurance claim. They did a great job in a timely manner. Would highly recommend!
