What Ice Dam Water Damage Water Cleanup Includes in Boylston
A Boylston 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.
For a leaking water heater, an equipment specialist addresses the unit. A water damage crew clears the floor, maps saturation and records drying readings.
