Crews first find where melted ice worked past the roof shingles in Riverside homes. They trace water trails in the attic to identify all points where it entered the living space.
Technicians pump out any standing water and promptly remove soaked, compromised materials like attic insulation and damp drywall. This prevents further saturation and mold growth in the structure.
Using air movers and dehumidifiers, the team dries the attic, ceiling cavities, and wall framing. They monitor moisture levels until reaching a verified, dry standard before any repair work.
