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
Rainwater from a roof leak is removed from the attic, and the wet path along the decking is followed back to where it entered.

How Attic Water Removal Works in Van Alstyne

Frequent Sources of Attic Water Damage in Van Alstyne
Condensation From Poor Attic Ventilation
Moist air from the house condenses on roof decking when attic ventilation is poor.
Clogged or Disconnected Gutters

Supply lines and drain pipes in the attic can crack or burst onto the ceiling.
Flashing Failures Around Roof Penetrations
Failed flashing around vents, chimneys and skylights lets rain run into the attic.
Both Residential & Commercial Attic Water Removal
