How Ice Dam Water Damage Water Cleanup Works in Winston

1. Remove standing water

   Carpet and pad need more than surface wiping; a local crew presses extraction tools across the wet area.

2. Find absorbed moisture

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

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Swollen drywall that has lost strength may need a controlled cut to expose framing.

4. Dry and verify

   Wood framing may need longer drying than nearby drywall; meters reveal the difference.

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.
