In Hobart, the rivers did the talking on June 9. Turkey Creek and the Deep River both rose several feet overnight, according to the river gauges.
June 9 stands out. At 3:21 AM CDT, a flood report placed water about 2 miles southwest of Hobart: The Deep River in Merrillville reached action stage at approximately 3:21 AM, rising approximately 3.75 feet in 4 hours.
When Turkey Creek and the Deep River rise that fast, the ground around Hobart stays saturated, and basements near them can take on water well after the rain stops.
Waterways named in these reports: Turkey Creek, Deep River.

Half of Hobart’s homes were built before 1971, the median year. Roughly 48% are older than 1970, 30% are from 1990 on, 75% stand alone as single-family houses, and 69% are lived in by their owners (ACS 2020–2024 5-year estimates: Census Reporter).
Hobart is a city of rivers and lakes, from Lake George to the Deep River, and its older neighborhoods sit close to both. Owners there often know which corner of the basement gets wet first.
We measure how far the water reached in your Hobart house, take out what won’t dry, run drying equipment until readings say it’s done, check for mold and hand off a documented, dry home. Each step is photographed for your records. See how the process works.

The EPA advises drying water-damaged areas and items within 24–48 hours to prevent mold growth, so we measure rather than guess. (EPA: A Brief Guide to Mold, Moisture and Your Home) More in mold and drying.
