What Ice Dam Water Flood Cleanup Includes in The Villages
The source and contamination level determine what can be saved. A local crew in The Villages 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.
If an appliance hose bursts, the appliance trade handles its equipment. A local water crew removes pooled water and checks concealed layers. Nearby cabinetry can conceal a larger wet area.

- 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.
