Damage Restoration Cincinnati | Servicemaster Clean

After a heavy storm or tropical storm flooding, look for water stains on ceilings or walls, peeling paint, musty odors, and dampness in basements. In older homes near neighborhoods like Mount Lookout or Clifton, you might also notice warped flooring or swollen drywall. If you suspect ice dam damage, check for water dripping from light fixtures or ice buildup on roof edges.

We start by stopping the water source and extracting standing water using industrial pumps. Then we dry the area thoroughly with air movers and dehumidifiers to prevent mold. For bathroom overflows in areas like Oakley or downtown condos, we also inspect behind walls and under flooring for hidden moisture, then sanitize and restore the space to its original condition.

Ice dams form when heat from your attic melts snow on the roof, which refreezes at the eaves. This creates a barrier that traps water, forcing it under shingles and into your home. This is common in older Cincinnati neighborhoods like Northside or Price Hill during harsh winters. Our restoration team identifies the water entry points, dries affected areas, and helps prevent future damage by advising on attic insulation improvements.
