How Ice Dam Water Damage Water Cleanup Works in Blaine

1. Remove standing water

   A technician works from the wettest section toward unaffected rooms to contain the spread of water.

2. Find absorbed moisture

   A room by room moisture map helps place drying gear where it will matter.

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Insulation holding water can keep a wall cavity damp even after the surface feels dry.

4. Dry and verify

   A clear drying log helps explain when the structure was ready for rebuild work.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

A clean looking surface can conceal moist wood underneath. The crew uses meters to find those areas and keeps air moving until readings reach the drying target.

• Have a roofer address the ice dam and roof opening.
• Stay clear of sagging ceiling material.
• Move valuables away if safe.
• Photograph the source and damaged belongings.
• Avoid wet electrical fixtures and contaminated water.
