How Ice Dam Water Damage Water Cleanup Works in Falun

1. Remove standing water

   For a large indoor pool, the team first lowers the level before addressing saturated finishes.

2. Find absorbed moisture

   Cabinet cavities and subfloors receive attention where a small leak may have spread sideways.

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Dirty water on porous materials changes the work: contaminated pieces usually come out.

4. Dry and verify

   A clear drying log helps explain when the structure was ready for rebuild work.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Wood, plaster and concrete can hold moisture longer than carpet. Repeated measurements tell the team when dense materials are actually dry.

• 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.
