Ice Dam Water Damage Water Cleanup in North Liberty, IA

What Ice Dam Water Damage Water Cleanup Includes in North Liberty

A North Liberty 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.

The source and the damage may need different workers. For an overflowing fixture, plumbing work prevents more water; technicians then dry the subfloor and adjacent rooms.
