What Ice Dam Water Flood Cleanup Includes in Bellflower
The source and contamination level determine what can be saved. A local crew in Bellflower assesses wet materials before the dry-out. Contaminated water may require extra material removal and sanitation.
With ice dam water, water slips under roofing and stains an attic, wall or ceiling during a thaw. Moisture may remain in attic insulation, sheathing, wall board and ceiling finish.
A roof opening belongs to a roofer. Interior water that crossed ceilings and walls calls for extraction and measured drying. Stained insulation can remain damp after the ceiling dries.
