Detailed Attic Water Removal Solutions
Attic Leak Water Cleanup
The leak is stopped or tarped first, then water on the attic floor, on top of the drywall and around ducts and wiring is removed with wet vacs.
Roof Leak Water Removal
A temporary tarp over the damaged section keeps more rain out until the roofer can make a permanent repair.
Attic Mold Prevention
After drying, wood that was wet for more than a day or two can be treated with an antimicrobial to slow microbial growth.
Wet Attic Insulation Removal
Insulation that got soaked is removed from the wet bays and bagged. Leaving it in place keeps the ceiling drywall damp for weeks.
Attic Drying Services
Equipment is adjusted daily, moving airflow from areas that are dry to areas that still read wet.
