Damage Restoration New York | ServiceMaster By Global

Ice dams form when snow melts on a warm roof and refreezes at the eaves, blocking drainage. This trapped water seeps under shingles, causing leaks in attics and ceilings. Our solution involves safe ice removal, steam thawing, and drying out affected areas. We then repair damaged insulation and roofing to prevent recurrence.

Signs include musty odors, rotting wood, peeling paint, and mold growth in the attic. It's common in older New York homes with poor ventilation, especially during humid summers or when warm indoor air meets cold roof surfaces. We fix this by improving ventilation, installing vapor barriers, and treating any mold or rot.

Monsoon rains can overwhelm window seals, balcony doors, or basement drains, leading to flooding. We start with emergency water extraction and drying, then assess for structural damage. For apartments, we often coordinate with building management and use specialized equipment to minimize disruption. Finally, we repair drywall, flooring, and ensure proper drainage.
