SERVPRO of Cheatham, Robertson and Dickson Counties Heads Northeast To Aide With Ice Dams

Snow is pretty and fun to play in, but in large amounts it can cause severe damage. When Boston received an overwhelming amount of snow in a short amount of time, there was no time for the snow to melt completely. It became compacted on and against houses and other structures. As the snow continued to fall and there was just enough sunshine in between for the snow to melt and re-freeze it began to find its way into homes, leading to damage. When SERVPRO® of Cheatham, Robertson and Dickson Counties received the call to assist with the damages our teams were on the road to help within 4 hours.  Here you can see that there was an ice dam near the window of this home. When our teams arrived the drywall had already began to sag and fall and the paint had begun to bubble. We cut the affected drywall from the ceiling, removed insulation from the affected area and placed drying equipment.
