How Ice Dam Water Damage Flood Water Removal Works in Clark

1. Pump or extract liquid water

   A restoration crew works from the deepest accumulation toward the wet edges. The floor is checked again as the visible water recedes.

2. Find moisture beyond the puddle

   The moisture map includes unaffected comparison areas. That helps the crew judge drying progress on materials of the same kind.

3. Remove materials that hold unsafe water

   A clean water loss may allow some finishes to dry in place. The choice depends on the material, duration and measured saturation.

4. Dry the structure and confirm progress

   A wall cavity and an open floor need different airflow. The crew tracks moisture in each affected material until targets are met.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Standing water is only part of the concern. A wet surface may begin to grow mold within 24 to 48 hours where moisture remains in porous material. A crew identifies what can dry and what must be removed.

• Stay off icy roofs and keep clear of wet ceiling fixtures.
• Keep people away from wet outlets, ceiling fixtures, and standing water of unknown origin.
• Move dry documents and electronics away from the wet floor.
• Photograph the water level, wet rooms, and damaged belongings before cleanup.
