SERVPRO Can Repair Damage Frozen Pipes and Ice Damming in Paramus

Cold weather brings freezing temperatures in Paramus, Freezing rain, ice crystals, and even snow. Homes with poorly insulated attics and skylights are often susceptible to ice buildup on the roof, creating ice dams. With nowhere to go, melting snow and ice creates pools of water on your roof and leaks into the attic, often penetrating living areas causing even more damage. Homeowners must deal with wet insulation, damaged drywall, and flooring materials that become wet from the water pouring into their homes.

SERVPRO provides drying and restoration services for damage caused by frozen pipes and ice damming in Paramus. Our contractors can carefully remove the ice dam from the roof area to allow melting water to flow off the roof. We investigate the damage caused by the water to your insulation and ceiling materials, such as drywall. We check for water and moisture inside the walls and the main living areas. Once we understand which areas have been compromised by the melting water, our team deploys equipment to begin drying your home and making repairs, including:

• Moisture extraction equipment for flooring, cavities inside walls and the ceiling
• Air movers to blow dry air across wet and high humidity areas
• Dehumidifiers to reduce humidity levels to return humidity in your home to normal levels

Copper or plastic pipes that froze during the cold weather must be repaired before the main water supply is turned on.

Consumers can prevent ice dams. Installing additional insulation in the attic and waterproof membranes around skylights and areas susceptible to ice dams can reduce the chances of future ice dams during cold weather incidents. SERVPRO can assist with these repairs under general contractor license #: 13VH001305854800.
