Attic Water Damage Roof Source Repair, explained.
Water in an attic is a symptom. The source is somewhere on the roof, and the stains in the attic show where it ran, not necessarily where it entered. Drying and replacing insulation before the source is fixed means doing it twice.
We trace the water to its roof opening from inside and out, repair the source and tell you what the attic needs next. Drying, insulation and mold work are done by specialists.
Signs you need this
- Dark nail tips or stained decking in the attic
- Damp or matted insulation
- A musty smell in the attic or upper rooms
- Ceiling stains below the attic
A good fit, and what to know.
We would rather you hear the limits from us than discover them later.
A good fit when
- Water signs in the attic after a storm
