What Ice Dam Water Damage Water Cleanup Includes in Aberdeen Proving Ground

How Ice Dam Water Damage Water Cleanup Works in Aberdeen Proving Ground

1. Remove standing water

   Pumps clear deep water in a Aberdeen Proving Ground basement, followed by extractors for the thin layer left on floors.

2. Find absorbed moisture

   Wall bases get checked after extraction because drywall can wick water above the floor mark.

3. Remove what cannot stay

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

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers encourage evaporation while dehumidifiers capture moisture from the air.

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.
