Damage Restoration in Ranchos de Taos, NM | Douglas Custom Homes

In our area, temperature fluctuations cause snow to melt and refreeze, creating ice dams. These block drainage, forcing water under shingles or around window flashing. At Douglas Custom Homes, we see this often in homes near the Rio Grande Gorge, where wind-driven snow accumulates. Our damage restoration team can assess and seal leaks to prevent interior water intrusion.

Signs include musty odors, damp spots on walls or floors near the heater, and increased humidity. In Ranchos de Taos, many homes have fiberglass insulation that clumps when wet, losing its R-value. If you notice these signs, call us for a free inspection. We'll remove wet insulation, dry the area, and restore it to prevent mold and energy loss.

First, stop the source by clearing ice dams or resealing the window. Then, water damage restoration is critical. At Douglas Custom Homes, we extract standing water, dry affected walls and flooring with industrial equipment, and treat for mold. For homes near the Ranchos de Taos Plaza, we also check attic insulation, as snowmelt often seeps into eaves. Prompt action prevents costly structural repairs.
