What Ice Dam Water Flood Cleanup Includes in Fallon

How Ice Dam Water Flood Cleanup Works in Fallon

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

   Moisture mapping identifies materials that still need a drying plan. Concealed saturation changes the scope of work.

3. Remove soaked material

   Material removal follows the water path and contamination level. The crew checks whether neighboring material is wet.

4. Dry and verify

   Final checks document the remaining structure after extraction. Records can explain the work to an insurer.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Warm, humid conditions can slow evaporation. A controlled drying setup removes moisture from both materials and indoor air. Repeated checks show whether the setup needs adjustment.

• 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.
