Snow and Ice Storm Damage Cleanup Services in Tacoma
Ceiling Water Damage Cleanup
Ceiling leaks during a winter storm often come from the roof or a frozen pipe in the attic. Wet drywall is opened and dried, and the source is found.
Winter Storm Wet Drywall Removal
Clean water from a supply line may allow drywall to be dried in place. Moisture readings decide what can be saved and what must come out.
Wet Attic Insulation Removal
Wet insulation that stays in place can stain ceilings and lead to mold. It is removed and the attic is dried before new insulation goes in.
Ice Storm Roof Leak Cleanup
Heavy ice and falling limbs can damage shingles and let water into the attic. The pros remove wet insulation, dry the framing and check the ceilings below.
Frozen Pipe Burst Cleanup
Water from a frozen pipe spreads inside walls and under flooring. Moisture meters show how far it went so the pros dry every wet area.
When to Call for Snow and Ice Storm Damage Cleanup in Tacoma
Wet or Matted Attic Insulation
Insulation that is heavy, flattened or stained after a storm has taken on water from the roof and holds it against the ceiling.
Puddles on Floors
Water on floors near exterior walls, sinks or the water heater after a freeze often comes from a split supply line.
Stains on Walls and Ceilings
Yellow or brown stains that spread after a winter storm point to an active leak from the roof or a pipe inside the wall.
Bubbling Paint or Soft Drywall
Paint that bubbles and drywall that feels soft show moisture inside the wall, which needs to be found and dried.
How Snow and Ice Storm Damage Cleanup Works in Tacoma
Step 1: Frozen Pipe Leak Assessment
The pros find where water spread from the burst pipe using moisture meters and thermal cameras.
Step 2: Water Removal From Floors and Walls
Standing water is extracted and wet wall cavities are opened where readings show trapped water.
Step 3: Drying Equipment Setup
Dehumidifiers and air movers are placed to move dry air across wet framing and subfloors.
Step 4: Daily Drying Readings
Readings are taken each day and equipment is adjusted until materials are back to normal.
How Ice Storms Cause Water Damage
Wind-Driven Ice and Rain
Winter storm winds push freezing rain into vents, around windows and under damaged siding, letting water into walls.
Frozen and Burst Pipes
Pipes in exterior walls, attics and crawl spaces can freeze during a hard freeze, split and flood the home when they thaw.
Roof Damage From Ice and Limbs
Ice-loaded tree limbs break and fall onto roofs, tearing shingles and opening holes that let water into the attic.
Ice-Clogged Gutters
Gutters packed with ice overflow and send water down walls and against the foundation, where it can seep inside.
