What Ice Dam Water Flood Cleanup Includes in Mather
Every ice dam water flood cleanup loss has its own water path. In Mather, the crew maps moisture and removes water from affected surfaces. The actual water source determines the first cleanup steps.
With ice dam water, water slips under roofing and stains an attic, wall or ceiling during a thaw. Moisture may remain in attic insulation, sheathing, wall board and ceiling finish.
Water can keep soaking materials after the pipe is shut off. Extraction and dehumidification address the remaining damage inside the building. A wet wall cavity may need access for airflow.

- Stay out of water near electrical equipment.
- Move dry belongings away from the wet area if safe.
