What Ice Dam Water Damage Water Cleanup Includes in Madison
The first step for ice dam water damage water cleanup in Madison is understanding the source. The crew extracts water, measures absorbed moisture and sets the drying plan from those readings.
Meltwater backs up behind roof edge ice and reaches the attic under roofing. Water can follow rafters into insulation, wall tops, and ceiling board. The visible puddle may show only part of the wet area because attic insulation, plaster or drywall, and wood framing hold hidden moisture.
If a supply valve is safe to reach, closing it limits fresh water. The plumber handles the faulty fitting and the cleanup crew handles extraction and structural drying.
