Water damage, handled fast.

Swift Dry removes the water, dries your home or business and stops mold before it starts.

Serving Northwest Indiana. Emergency crews answer 24/7.

What we do

If water got into your home or business, we get it out, dry what’s left and deal with any mold that follows.

Water damage drying

Burst pipes, overflowing appliances, storm leaks and sewage-free flooding. We extract standing water, then dry what’s underneath the surface, where problems start.

  • Water extraction
  • Subfloor and wall-base drying
  • Industrial air movers and dehumidifiers
  • Daily moisture readings
  • Paperwork for your insurance claim

Carpet drying

We lift, extract and dry carpet and pad in place whenever it can be saved, so you avoid a full replacement.

Mold prevention

Mold can start within 24 to 48 hours of a leak. We dry fast and treat damp areas to stop it before it begins.

Mold removal

If mold has already taken hold, we contain the area, remove affected materials and clean surrounding surfaces so it doesn’t spread.

Commercial spaces

Offices, shops and rental units dried with minimal downtime, with work scheduled around your hours.

Questions we hear a lot

How long does drying take?

Most jobs take three to five days, depending on how much water there was, what it soaked into and the weather. We tell you what to expect after the first measurements.

Can my carpet be saved?

Often, yes, especially when clean water was involved and we reach it within a day or two. If carpet or pad can’t be saved, we tell you before removing anything.

Will insurance cover it?

Many policies cover sudden water damage, such as a burst pipe. We document everything with photos and daily readings and can work directly with your adjuster. Coverage depends on your policy.

Do you offer emergency water damage services in Northwest Indiana?

Yes. Swift Dry takes emergency calls around the clock and serves Northwest Indiana. Call (219) 713-9252 and we will tell you how soon a crew can reach you.

What should I do if my basement floods?

If it is safe, shut off the water source and turn off power to the area at the breaker panel. Stay out of standing water near outlets or cords, move belongings to higher ground, take photos for your insurer, and call us right away. Avoid using a household vacuum on water.

How much does water damage restoration cost?

The cost depends on how large the affected area is, what kind of water it was, which materials got wet and how many days of drying equipment are needed. We give a free estimate before any work begins, so you know what to expect.

How can I tell if water is hiding behind my walls or under my floors?

Common signs include a musty smell, peeling or bubbling paint, stained ceilings, warped or spongy floors and carpet that stays damp. We use moisture meters and thermal cameras to find water you cannot see.

Can I dry a wet carpet myself?

A small spill on the surface, yes. But water usually soaks into the pad and subfloor, where household fans and towels can’t reach it. If the wet area is large or has been wet for more than a day, professional drying lowers the risk of mold and odors.

How quickly can mold grow after water damage?

Mold can begin to grow within 24 to 48 hours in damp materials. That is why fast extraction and thorough drying matter, even when the water looks like it has gone.

Do you remove mold?

Yes. If mold has already started to grow, we contain the affected area, remove materials that can’t be saved and clean surrounding surfaces. We also dry the space completely so the moisture that fed the mold is gone.

Do you dry commercial properties?

Yes. We dry offices, shops and rental units, and we schedule work around your business hours to keep downtime low.

Is the equipment loud?

Air movers and dehumidifiers make noticeable noise, similar to a box fan. We position them to be as unobtrusive as the job allows.

Do you handle sewage or floodwater?

Contaminated water needs different safety steps and often full removal of porous materials. Call us and we’ll explain what’s possible for your situation.

Water doesn’t wait. Neither do we.
