Water damage can happen when you least expect it. One of the most common causes we see is water leaking from an upstairs unit, often from a failed appliance such as a refrigerator ice maker, washing machine, or dishwasher. When this happens, the damage can spread quickly through ceilings, walls, flooring, and personal belongings.
Recently, a local Bellingham condo owner shared their experience after a broken ice maker in the unit above flooded their home:
“My condo was flooded by a broken ice maker in the floor above me. Clear Sky handled everything beautifully. Knowledgeable, efficient and true professionals. I highly recommend this company. Plus they are local which was a big plus.”
Unfortunately, water from an upstairs leak doesn’t simply stay in one place. It can travel behind walls, soak insulation, damage drywall, and create the perfect environment for mold growth if not addressed quickly.
This condo suffered water damage from an upstairs leak. While the visible water may be gone, moisture can remain trapped inside ceilings and walls where it can lead to mold growth, odors, and costly structural damage.
The specialized tubes shown in this photo are part of a water mitigation system that pumps warm, dry air directly into the ceiling cavity. This targeted drying process helps remove hidden moisture efficiently while minimizing the need for additional demolition.
At Clear Sky Disaster Restoration, we use advanced drying equipment and moisture monitoring technology to ensure your property is thoroughly dried, not just on the surface, but where the damage can’t be seen.
