Water Damage from an Ice Dam in Dallas - we can help.
What is an ice dam?
An ice dam is a ridge of ice that forms at the edge of a roof and prevents melting snow (water) from draining off the roof. The water that backs up behind the dam can leak into a home and cause damage to walls, ceilings, insulation and other areas.
Damage from an ice dam
Moisture from melted snow entering a home can cause more damage than just wet walls and insulation. If the water is not properly extracted and dried out, your home poses the threat of growing mold in these damp areas.
Mold spores thrive in warm and damp areas, like the insulation of a home.
