Common Causes of Water Damage in Homes
Water damage that is typically covered by insurance often comes from sudden and accidental events, including:
Burst or frozen pipes
Plumbing supply line failures
Roof leaks from wind or storm damage
Ice damming causing water backup under shingles
Water heater or appliance leaks
Overflow from sinks, tubs, or toilets
Storm-driven rain intrusion
Attic condensation or insulation saturation
⚠️ Important: Long-term neglect may not be covered, which is why early detection and documentation are critical.
Ice Damming & Winter Water Damage
Ice damming is a major cause of hidden winter water damage. It occurs when heat escapes into the attic, melting snow on the roof. As water refreezes at the eaves, it forms an ice barrier that forces water back under shingles and into the home.
Common ice dam damage includes:
Ceiling and wall water stains
Wet attic insulation
Rotted roof decking
Mold growth from trapped moisture
Protecht identifies both the visible damage and the underlying cause, helping prevent repeat issues.
Signs of Water Damage in Your Home
Water damage isn’t always obvious at first. Watch for:
Discoloration on ceilings or walls
Bubbling or peeling paint
Warped flooring or soft drywall
Musty or damp odors
Visible mold or mildew
Sudden increase in humidity
Water dripping during rain or thaw cycles
If you notice any of these, professional evaluation is recommended immediately.

Drying & Dehumidification: Deploying air movers and commercial dehumidifiers to eliminate excess moisture hidden deep within building materials, a critical step to prevent mold growth.
Cleaning & Disinfection: Thoroughly cleaning, sanitizing, and deodorizing all affected areas to eliminate bacteria, pathogens, and mold spores.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is ice dam damage covered by homeowners insurance?
Often yes, especially when damage is sudden and documented. Coverage depends on policy terms.
How quickly should water damage be addressed?
Immediately. The first 24–48 hours are critical to limiting secondary damage such as mold.
Do I need to know the source before calling?
No we use several tools to help identify the cause of loss including thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters.
Can water damage cause mold?
Yes. Moisture left untreated can lead to mold growth within days.
What types of water damage are usually covered by insurance?
Water damage is often covered when it’s sudden and accidental (like a burst pipe, appliance failure, or storm-driven intrusion). Coverage varies by policy, so we help document the loss properly for your claim.
What happens during your water damage inspection?
We assess the affected areas, measure moisture levels, and identify hidden water using tools like moisture meters and thermal imaging so the repair plan addresses both visible and concealed damage.
What’s the difference between clean, gray, and black water?
These categories describe contamination level: clean (supply line), gray (washing/overflow), and black (sewage/groundwater). The category impacts safety protocols, cleaning, and what materials may need to be removed and replaced.
How do you prevent mold after water damage?
We focus on rapid extraction, drying, and dehumidification, then cleaning/disinfection to reduce the conditions mold needs to grow. Fast action is key—especially in the first 24–48 hours.
Can you repair the roof or exterior if that’s where the water came from?
Yes. If water damage is caused by a roof leak, flashing issue, wind damage, or storm intrusion, we can address the source and handle restoration so the problem doesn’t repeat.
Do you handle repairs and rebuild after drying is complete?
Yes. After drying and sanitizing, we can complete repair & reconstruction—such as replacing drywall, insulation, and damaged flooring—to fully restore your home.
