Attic water damage can affect insulation, roof decking, rafters, sheathing, and the ceiling materials below. Finding the moisture source and drying the affected area quickly helps prevent further deterioration.
What the Job Involves
The attic is inspected for roof leaks, wet insulation, stained decking, damaged wood, and moisture around vents, flashing, or other penetrations. The source of the water is identified before restoration begins.
Signs You Need It
- Wet or compressed insulation
- Dark water stains on roof decking
- Ceiling stains below the attic
- Musty attic odors
- Damp rafters or sheathing
- Water entering during rain
How the Work Goes
The technician first identifies the source of the water intrusion. Wet materials are assessed with moisture readings, and standing water is removed when necessary. Air movers and dehumidifiers are used to dry salvageable materials. Saturated insulation or severely damaged materials may need removal.
What Affects the Cost
Cost depends on the affected area, amount of moisture, insulation type, attic accessibility, roof condition, and extent of damage to decking or structural wood.
