How Ice Dam Water Flood Cleanup Works in Melrose

1. Remove standing water

   A crew clears accessible standing water and watches for continued inflow. Continued inflow needs source control before drying.

2. Map moisture

   Readings trace water beyond the visible puddle and into adjacent rooms. A nearby dry area can provide a useful comparison.

3. Remove soaked material

   Contaminated porous materials are separated from salvageable finishes. The loss source informs contamination handling.

4. Dry and verify

   A technician records progress before equipment is removed. Rebuild planning follows the final dry-out check.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Carpet pad and insulation can hold moisture after a room looks normal. Drying equipment and readings address that concealed water. Carpet that feels dry can still hide wet padding.

• Keep clear of sagging ceiling sections.
• Stay out of water near electrical equipment.
• Move dry belongings away from the wet area if safe.
• Photograph wet rooms and belongings.
