Do this now: which line to call
Take these 3 steps in order, safety first.
- Gas smell, sparks, smoke, or a tree or wire down: get everyone out and call 911 or the gas or electric utility from outside before anything else.
- Water spreading from a pipe, a roof or a ceiling: shut the main water valve, move what you can, and photograph the damage before anything is moved or thrown out.
- Then call the line for the job: the water damage line for water damage restoration, the fire damage line for fire damage restoration, the garage door line for garage door repair and the window line for window replacement. Each goes to an independent company that serves your area and takes that job. The plumber line is for leaks, clogs and water heaters.
Is it an emergency? What can wait
3 things are emergencies before they are repair jobs: a gas smell, sparks or smoke, and a downed power line; call 911 or the utility for those.
- Water damage and mold: water still spreading is urgent, so stop the source first. Call your insurer, photograph first, and never sign over a claim to a contractor.
- Fire damage: do not go back in until the fire department says it is safe. Call your insurer, photograph first, and never sign over a claim to a contractor.
- Garage door: a broken spring or a door off its track can wait for a booked visit if the door is closed. Do not try to lift or force it.
- Windows: a broken pane can be covered for the night with plywood or heavy plastic; replacement is a planned job.
Water damage restoration in Indianapolis: cost and first steps
Water damage restoration costs $1,383 to $6,369 for most jobs, with a $3,868 average, in HomeAdvisor's June 2026 national data; Angi says Indianapolis restoration pros charge $50 to $220 an hour. Stop the water, then dry fast: the EPA says materials dried within 24 to 48 hours usually will not grow mold. Call your insurer too, photograph the damage before anything is moved, and do not sign an assignment of benefits or any contract that hands your claim to a contractor.
If the source was a leak or a sewer backup and you qualify, Citizens' Home Infrastructure Program can repair the pipe itself (317-924-3311). The restoration company dries and rebuilds; the plumber fixes the leak. See the national water damage restoration guide and mold removal in Indianapolis if growth has started.
Water on the floor, a wet ceiling or a musty smell? Call the water damage line now. Drying in the first 24 to 48 hours is what keeps mold out.
Fire damage restoration in Indianapolis
Fire damage restoration costs $3,083 to $52,031, with a $27,477 average, in HomeAdvisor's June 2026 national data, and HomeGuide puts most jobs at $4 to $7 per square foot. Do not go back in until the fire department says it is safe, the American Red Cross says. Photograph every room before anything is moved, call your insurer before you sign with a restoration company, and never sign a contract that hands your claim to the contractor.
Ask the Indianapolis Fire Department for the incident report; your insurer will want it. We did not find a published IFD report request page, so ask the crew on scene or call the department's non-emergency line. After the fire, a plumber may be needed for melted or frozen lines in a house without heat. Full steps: fire damage restoration and smoke damage restoration.
Smoke, soot or water from firefighting? Call the fire damage line, and call your insurer too.
Garage door repair in Indianapolis
Garage door repair costs $150 to $350 for most jobs in HomeGuide's 2026 guide, and HomeAdvisor puts the national average at $265; Fixr says same-day emergency service adds $100 to $300. No publisher lists an Indianapolis-only price. Leave a door with a broken spring or loose cable closed and call a garage door company.
Indiana's Attorney General says home improvement contracts over $150 must be in writing and advises paying no more than one third down, which applies to a new door or opener. See garage door repair and garage door spring repair.
Door stuck, spring broken or opener dead? Call the garage door line. Leave a door with a broken spring closed.
Window replacement in Indianapolis: what it costs
Window replacement costs about $900 per window installed on HomeGuide's 2026 national average, while This Old House's 2026 survey found $517 per window and $7,183 per project. Indianapolis homes skew older than the nation's, with a 1973 median year built per the Census Bureau, so many still have original single-pane or early double-pane units.
Get the price in writing: the Indiana Attorney General says home improvement contracts over $150 must be written, and to put no more than one third down. Frame material, size and full-frame versus insert installs drive the price; see window replacement cost.
