How Ice Dam Water Damage Water Cleanup Works in Fort Mohave

1. Remove standing water

   Pumps clear deep water in a Fort Mohave basement, followed by extractors for the thin layer left on floors.

2. Find absorbed moisture

   A thermal camera can point toward cooler damp areas, which technicians confirm with direct readings.

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Opening a trapped assembly gives air a path to the wet material inside.

• Stay clear of sagging ceiling material.
• Move valuables away if safe.
• Photograph the source and damaged belongings.
• Avoid wet electrical fixtures and contaminated water.
