Snow and Ice Storm Damage Cleanup Offered in Milwaukee
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.
Ice Storm Roof Leak Cleanup
A roof damaged during an ice storm can leak for days. Water is cleared from the attic and ceilings, and a roofer handles the roof repair itself.
Snow Melt Water Damage Restoration
A fast thaw sends melting snow against the foundation and into lower walls and floors. The pros extract the water and dry carpet, drywall and subfloor.
Wet Attic Insulation Removal
Insulation soaked by a roof leak loses its value and holds water against the ceiling. The pros bag and remove it, then dry the attic framing.
Ceiling Water Damage Cleanup
Bubbling paint and brown rings on the ceiling mean water is sitting above. The pros check with moisture meters and remove drywall that cannot dry.
Signs of Ice Storm Damage Indoors
Water Running Inside a Wall
The sound of running water with no fixture on, or a wet spot growing on drywall, points to a burst pipe inside the wall.
Water in Lower Rooms After a Thaw
Water on lower floors after a thaw often comes from snowmelt seeping through foundation cracks or around windows.
Puddles on Floors
Water on floors near exterior walls, sinks or the water heater after a freeze often comes from a split supply line.
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.
How Snow and Ice Storm Damage Cleanup Works in Milwaukee
Step 1: Documenting Winter Storm Damage
Photos, video and moisture readings record the damage before work starts, which helps with the insurance claim.
Step 2: Emergency Water Extraction
Water is removed from every affected room, starting where it is deepest.
Step 3: Opening Wet Walls
Drywall is cut above the wet line so air can reach the studs and wall cavity.
Step 4: Warm, Controlled Drying
The space is kept warm enough for drying while dehumidifiers pull moisture from the structure.
What Leads to Snow and Ice Damage Indoors
Snowmelt
A sudden thaw melts deep snow quickly and overwhelms gutters and drains, pushing water against lower walls.
Frozen Supply Lines
Lines to washing machines, ice makers and outdoor spigots are often the first to freeze and split during a winter storm.
Ice Dam Formation
Heat from the house melts roof snow, which refreezes at the eaves and forces meltwater under shingles into the attic.
Water Heater and Fixture Damage
Water heaters and toilet supply lines in unheated garages or closets can crack during a freeze and leak when water flows again.
Home and Business Snow and Ice Storm Damage Cleanup in Milwaukee
Residential Snow and Ice Storm Damage Cleanup
Homes with wet attics and ceilings after an ice storm are dried from the top down, so water does not drip onto areas that are already dry.
Commercial Snow and Ice Storm Damage Cleanup
Commercial buildings with roof leaks after an ice storm get ceiling tiles, insulation and drywall checked and removed where wet.
When DIY Is Not Enough After a Winter Storm
Thawing a frozen pipe with an open flame is a fire risk. Use gentle heat, or call a plumber, and have the pros handle any water that leaked.
