What Ice Dam Water Flood Cleanup Includes in Boulder
After ice dam water flood cleanup, the crew removes materials that cannot dry safely. Repairs to finishes are quoted after the structure is dry. A final moisture check comes before new finishes are installed.
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.
When a fitting breaks, close the supply valve if safe. A technician then maps moisture beneath floors while the plumbing trade handles the source. The crew examines floor layers after the flow is stopped.
