Indianapolis averages 72 percent relative humidity during summer months. High ambient humidity slows evaporation because the air already holds significant moisture. Your wet drywall and subflooring release moisture more slowly when outdoor humidity stays elevated. We combat this with larger dehumidifiers that create aggressive grain depression. The White River and surrounding wetlands contribute to local humidity levels, especially in neighborhoods near Broad Ripple and Butler-Tarkington. Properties in these areas require longer drying times and more frequent moisture monitoring during humid months.
Indianapolis building codes require licensed contractors for water damage restoration work exceeding basic cleanup. We maintain all required licensing and insurance for Marion County operations. Local building inspectors know our documentation standards and trust our moisture clearance reports. This matters when you need permits approved quickly. We understand Indianapolis construction methods from different eras, including balloon framing common in older neighborhoods and modern engineered lumber in newer developments. That local knowledge ensures we dry your property correctly the first time.
