Tice water damage cleanup and drying

Tice homes and water: what to expect

Older homes in Tice often have aging copper, galvanized, or cast-iron plumbing and water heaters at the end of their life. A burst line spreads across tile and into baseboards fast; we extract and dry until the meters say the job is done.

Working with your insurer in Tice

Your insurer decides coverage. Our job is the documentation: where the water came from, what got wet, readings each day, and what had to be removed. You stay in control of your claim.

What we do on a Tice water job

1. Pull standing water off the floors and out of carpet and pad with extraction equipment.
2. Remove baseboards, drywall, insulation, or pad that cannot be dried, and tell you on the first visit.
3. Run air movers and dehumidifiers and adjust them as the structure dries.
4. Come back to take readings until materials reach normal dry levels.
5. Hand you photos, a moisture log, and a written scope your insurer can use.

While you wait for the crew

• Kill the breakers for wet rooms, but only if you are dry and the panel is dry.
• Photograph every wet room before anything is moved.
• Do not use a household vacuum on standing water.
