Highmark Restoration: Water Damage Restoration in Savage, MN

Ice dams form when heat from your attic melts snow on the roof, which then refreezes at the eaves. This creates a barrier that traps water, leading to leaks into your home. In Savage, our cold winters and heavy snowfall make this a frequent issue, especially in older homes with poor insulation.

Signs of hidden water damage include musty odors, peeling paint or wallpaper, sagging ceilings, or discolored patches on walls or ceilings. You might also notice increased humidity inside. If you suspect a leak, it's best to call Highmark Restoration for a thorough inspection using moisture meters and thermal imaging.

First, ensure safety by turning off electricity if water is near outlets. Move valuables to dry areas and remove standing water with mops or towels if possible. Open windows for ventilation, but avoid using fans if power is off. Call Highmark Restoration immediately—we arrive quickly in Savage to start extraction and drying to prevent mold and structural damage.
