Commercial Ice Dam Damage Restoration Services in Chicago Ridge?

We are leaders in commercial water damage restoration services in Chicago.

Our team in Oak Lawn is trained and certified to restore ice dam damage in Chicago Ridge. Discovering an ice dam on your commercial property can be stressful, especially if water damage has already started. While waiting for professional help, immediate action can reduce damage and prevent the problem from worsening.

First, carefully remove snow from the roof using a rake or similar tool. Focus on clearing the area near the ice dam to reduce the weight and melting potential. Ensure safety by avoiding standing directly under the area, as falling snow or ice could cause injury.

Inside the building, inspect for water leaks caused by the ice dam. Use buckets or tarps to collect dripping water and protect equipment, inventory, or furniture in affected areas. Moving items away from the area can help avoid further damage.

Do not attempt to chip away at the ice dam yourself, as this can damage the roofing material and exacerbate the problem. Instead, focus on creating pathways for melting water to drain safely by melting small sections of the ice with warm water or calcium chloride. Avoid using salt, as it can erode your roofing system.
