Detailed Attic Water Extraction Offerings in Fairview

Attic Moisture Inspection
Moisture meters and thermal cameras check decking, rafters, insulation and ceiling drywall for water that is not visible.
Wet Attic Insulation Removal
Insulation is removed only where it got wet. Dry insulation nearby is left in place and protected during the work.
Attic Leak Water Cleanup
Leak cleanup clears water, wet debris and fallen insulation from the attic floor so the wood and ceiling can start drying.
Ceiling Water Damage Cleanup
A ceiling holding water is punctured in a controlled way to drain it into buckets, then the soaked section is cut out.
