What Ice Dam Water Damage Water Cleanup Includes in Wartrace
A Wartrace crew uses meters during ice dam water damage water cleanup to find water beneath visible surfaces. Air movers and dehumidifiers then dry the exposed structure.
Meltwater backs up behind roof edge ice and reaches the attic under roofing. Water can follow rafters into insulation, wall tops, and ceiling board. The visible puddle may show only part of the wet area because attic insulation, plaster or drywall, and wood framing hold hidden moisture.
If a supply valve is safe to reach, closing it limits fresh water. The plumber handles the faulty fitting and the cleanup crew handles extraction and structural drying.
