The crew addresses the active leak by relieving the ice dam and covering the entry point. This stops the roof from taking on more meltwater during the dry out process in Charlestown homes.
Standing water is removed. Wet attic insulation, ceilings, and wall cavities in the top floor are opened where needed to reach trapped water within the assemblies for proper drying.

A single stained ceiling caught early sits near the low end, while widespread intrusion across a top floor runs higher. Sudden ice-dam damage is usually a covered claim, and the loss is documented for the carrier.
In Charlestown, many historic rowhouses have Federal-era or Victorian brick construction with below-grade levels and old plumbing stacks. When ice dams form on roofs, meltwater can seep through these older assemblies, leading to stained ceilings, wet attic insulation, and soaked wall cavities in the top floor. Charlestown's coastal location sees hard freezes that can burst pipes, while coastal storms drive water toward low waterfront blocks. Older brick housing with below-grade levels and century-old plumbing makes ice dam intrusion a recurring risk.
