Monroe Restoration – Locally Owned & Operated Since 2001

24/7 Response: (574) 891-8076

Fort Wayne and Allen County see their share of heavy rain, flooded basements, frozen and burst pipes, and strong storms that can damage roofs and siding. Low-lying neighborhoods and areas near local rivers are especially vulnerable when severe weather stalls over the city. On top of that, day-to-day risks like electrical issues, cooking accidents, and malfunctioning appliances can quickly lead to fires, smoke damage, and lingering odors.

When something like this happens, you don’t just need “a contractor.” You need a local restoration team that understands Fort Wayne homes, building styles, and insurance expectations in this area and can guide you from the first emergency call to the final walk through.

Monroe Restoration is a locally owned disaster restoration and reconstruction company serving Fort Wayne, IN and the surrounding communities. Our IIRC-certified team responds 24/7, stabilizes your property, and manages the full project, not just the cleanup, so you can focus on your family, tenants, or business.

Water Damage Restoration – Fort Wayne, IN

In Fort Wayne, water damage often comes from:

• Heavy rainfall and overwhelmed gutters or sump pumps
• Frozen and burst pipes in winter
• Supply line failures on washing machines, dishwashers, or water heaters
• Overflowing tubs, sinks, or toilets

Within the first 24–48 hours, water can begin to warp flooring, damage drywall, and feed mold growth behind walls.

When you call Monroe Restoration for water damage:

We respond 24/7 and inspect the damage. We identify the source and assess how far the water has spread, including into wall cavities and under flooring.

• We stop the source. If the issue involves active plumbing, we can help you shut it off and coordinate needed repairs.
• We extract standing water. Using truck-mounted extractors and pumps, we remove water from carpets, hard floors, and structural materials.
• We dry and dehumidify. High-capacity dehumidifiers and air movers pull moisture out of building materials to industry-accepted levels.
• We check for secondary issues. We look for signs of mold growth, structural damage, or hidden moisture.
• We handle repairs and reconstruction. From replacing drywall and insulation to rebuilding finished basements, we can restore the affected areas.

Our work follows IICRC S500 standards for professional water damage restoration, giving you confidence the job is done correctly, not just “good enough.”

Fire & Smoke Damage Repair- Fort Wayne, IN

A fire—whether it starts in the kitchen, garage, or basement—leaves more than visible charring behind. Smoke and soot can travel through the entire property, coating surfaces and creating stubborn odors that standard cleaning products can’t remove.

Our fire and smoke damage services in Fort Wayne include:

• Emergency board-up and tarping to secure doors, windows, and roof openings
• Safety and structural assessment to determine where it’s safe to enter and what must be stabilized
• Removal of debris and damaged materials that cannot be salvaged
• Soot and smoke residue cleaning on walls, ceilings, flooring, cabinets, and fixtures
• Content cleaning for furniture, clothing, and valuables when possible
• Professional deodorization to address smoke odors at their source
• Reconstruction and repairs to restore fire-damaged rooms to pre-loss condition
• We also help you document the damage for your insurance carrier and can coordinate directly with the adjuster to keep your claim moving.

Mold Remediation – Fort Wayne, IN

Basements, bathrooms, attics, and areas with past leaks are common places for mold growth in Fort Wayne properties. Mold doesn’t just look bad—it can slowly damage building materials and may contribute to allergy-like symptoms in sensitive individuals.

Our mold remediation approach:

• Inspection & moisture detection: We identify visible mold and look for hidden growth using moisture readings.
• Source control: We address or help you address the moisture problem that allowed mold to grow in the first place.
• Containment: We set up containment and negative air (when needed) to help prevent spores from spreading.
• Removal & cleaning: We remove contaminated materials when necessary and clean salvageable surfaces using professional methods.
• Drying & reconstruction: We dry the space thoroughly and rebuild areas where materials were removed.

We follow industry guidelines for safe and effective mold remediation, aiming to correct both the mold problem and the underlying moisture issue.

Reconstruction Services – Fort Wayne, IN

Some losses such as large fires, long-term leaks, or storm damage leave you with structural issues that go beyond simple cleaning. You will notice your roof or drywall as damaged or your property in whole got affected by the disaster.

• Structural repairs (framing, roofing, siding, windows, doors)
• Interior repairs (drywall, insulation, trim, paint, flooring)
• Coordination of licensed trades such as electricians and plumbers

Our content cleaning and pack-out services include:

• On-site assessment of contents affected by water, smoke, soot, or mold
• Sorting and inventorying items to determine what can be cleaned and what is non-restorable
• Specialized cleaning and deodorization for clothing, textiles, furniture, and other items

We also provide documentation to support your contents portion of the insurance claim.

Burst Pipe Water Damage Cleanup – Fort Wayne, IN

• We extract standing water with professional equipment.
• We dry walls, ceilings, insulation, and flooring, checking for hidden moisture.
• We work with or coordinate licensed plumbers on necessary repairs.

Plus, in the winter, pipes can freeze and burst. When a fire sprinkler system fails, it can flood the property with water, causing major damage. Here are some recommendations on what you can do if you notice the damage.
