"My family experienced water and wind damage earlier this year. We had to be placed in a hotel. After reaching out to numerous companies, we chose Maynor construction. I am glad we did!! If it wasnâ t for Maynor and his staff, I wouldnâ t have made it. The process was long and depressing because of being away from home. However Maynor and his staff reassured me. They showed patience with me and worked hand and hand with my insurance company with getting my home repaired in a timely manner. Thank you Maynor! I truly feel like we are family!"

Independently owned & operated. AdvantaClean was founded in 1994 in Winter Park, Florida, as a contracting business specializing in emergency loss mitigation services and structural repairs to homes and buildings. The original partners created the company after gaining a wealth of knowledge and experience responding to Hurricane Andrew, which ravaged South Florida in August of 1992. This profile represents our North Central Indiana branch. Additional phones - (317) 399-9195, (877) 800-2382, (765) 252-4324.

"If you are looking for stellar service in the area of residential mold remediation, look no further than AdvantaClean Midwest!  AdvantaClean.com My technicians (Jose Garcia & Kyle) are some of the hardest workers that I have seen in a long time. I had a very serious mold problem in the crawl space of my home. It was causing me to have severe headaches, runny eyes, and respiratory problems. When they began work on my home, they put me at ease by letting me know "not to worry that they would take care of the problem". They were absolutely correct! The very first day after they started to work, I noticed a marked change from what they had accomplished after only one day. I was actually able to sleep through the entire night without waking up and without a major mold headache incidence. These two individuals left a marked impression on me and were most professional and knowledgeable in their field. They spoke to me in layman's terms that even a total beginner that knew nothing about mold would understand. They are definitely a credit to the company that they represent. I would wholeheartedly recommend this company - and in particular these two representatives."

FAQs for dry rot, water or pest damage major repair projects in Lafayette, IN

Look for wood that appears darker than the surrounding materials, feels spongy when pressed, or crumbles easily when touched. Dry rot often creates a distinctive cube-like cracking pattern and may have a musty, fungal odor. In advanced cases, you might notice white or gray fungal growth resembling cotton or mushroom-like structures. 

Regular inspections of basements, crawlspaces, and areas around plumbing fixtures help catch problems early before they cause significant structural damage.

Most standard homeowners' policies exclude dry rot repair coverage because insurers classify it as preventable maintenance rather than sudden, accidental damage. Your policy often covers water damage from specific incidents like burst pipes, but the resulting dry rot remediation often falls outside coverage parameters. Some policies offer limited coverage if the rot directly results from a covered peril, but this varies by insurer. 

Always review your specific policy details and consult with your insurance representative about your particular situation.

The timeline varies considerably based on damage extent and location. Minor repairs to window frames or trim might take only one to two days from start to finish. More substantial structural repairs involving floor joists, support beams, or foundation elements require one to two weeks or longer. 

The process includes assessment, demolition, treatment, reconstruction, and finishing work. Weather conditions, material availability, and the need for specialized contractors all influence the overall timeline for project completion.

Yes, untreated dry rot will continue to spread throughout wooden structures in your home. The fungus can extend through wood and even across some masonry surfaces via fungal strands called mycelium. Under favorable conditions (moisture and moderate temperatures), dry rot can advance rapidly, compromising structural integrity across multiple areas. 

The fungus produces airborne spores that establish new colonies wherever they find suitable conditions, making prompt treatment essential to prevent widespread damage and much costlier repairs.
