When an ice dam leaks water into a Swiss Avenue, TX home, a local crew responds quickly to inspect the damage. Following IICRC-standard methods, they remove trapped water and dry the structure to protect the historic property.
After a freeze in Swiss Avenue, technicians inspect the attic, ceilings, and exterior walls. They trace where meltwater backed up under the historic roofing to pinpoint all points of intrusion into the home.
The crew safely relieves water trapped behind bulging ceilings. They remove saturated insulation and damaged drywall around the leak to stop further damage and prepare the area for thorough drying.
Using air movers and dehumidifiers, the team dries the attic framing and wall cavities. Moisture levels are checked daily until every material, including original wood, reads dry to IICRC standards.
Because these events are uncommon in Swiss Avenue, cleanup varies, commonly from about $1,200 to $5,500 when a hard freeze does force meltwater into a home.

The crew documents moisture readings and photos so any covered portion can be submitted to the insurance carrier for review.
