Roof Valley Ice Dam and Leak
Wyckoff, NJ • Completed February 2024
A Wyckoff home's roof valley developed an ice dam during a particularly harsh winter, causing water to back up under shingles and leak into the home. The homeowner discovered water stains spreading across their bedroom ceiling. By the time they called, water had saturated the ceiling and attic insulation. We removed the damaged materials, dried the structure, and addressed the root cause—inadequate attic ventilation creating the conditions for ice dams. The restoration included ventilation improvements to prevent future issues.

- Dried attic framing and structural elements thoroughly

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers for Wyckoff residents
Storms often overload our sump pump in Wyckoff—how do we keep the basement dry?
For homeowners in Wyckoff, a standard sump pump is often not enough to handle heavy storm runoff. We recommend a robust system that includes dual pumps, a reliable battery backup with a high-water alarm, and interior drainage channels. This multi-layered approach provides the best protection for the valuable finished basements that are common in many Wyckoff homes, ensuring they stay dry even in the worst weather.
We have a septic system in Wyckoff. Does basement flooding make it worse?
Yes, flooding can definitely impact your septic system's performance. When the ground in your Wyckoff yard becomes saturated, it can slow down your septic field's ability to drain, potentially leading to backups inside your home. After a flood, we will thoroughly disinfect any affected areas and strongly recommend having your septic system inspected and pumped to ensure it's functioning correctly.
What is the long-term fix for musty crawl space odors in Wyckoff?
Musty odors from a crawl space are a sign of a persistent moisture problem that can affect your entire Wyckoff home. The permanent solution is full encapsulation. This involves installing a heavy-duty vapor barrier, drying the wood framing to below 18% moisture content, and installing a sealed, commercial-grade dehumidifier. Once the relative humidity is consistently low, the odors will dissipate for good.
Can you help us prevent this from happening again at our Wyckoff home?
Absolutely. Our service in Wyckoff goes beyond just cleanup; we focus on prevention. After addressing the immediate damage, we will design a customized prevention plan for your property. This can include grading corrections to slope soil away from the house, extending gutters and downspouts, and installing advanced interior drainage systems, all tailored to the specific needs of your Wyckoff lot.
