Attic Water Extraction
Water held in a sagging ceiling below the attic is drained in a controlled way, then the wet insulation above it is pulled so the drywall and joists can dry.
Attic Sheathing Drying
Wet sheathing above an attic leak is dried with air movers aimed at the underside, while dehumidifiers keep the attic air dry enough to pull moisture out.
Roof Leak Water Cleanup
Water from a roof leak runs along rafters and decking before it drips. The pros trace the wet path, remove soaked insulation and dry the wood along it.
Storm Water Attic Cleanup
Wind-driven rain and storm damage can let water into the attic through vents, flashing and damaged roofing. The pros remove the water and wet insulation and dry the wood.
Emergency Attic Drying Services

When to Call for Attic Damage Restoration in Rowlett
Sagging Ceiling Drywall
A bulging or sagging ceiling may be holding water. Stay out from under it and keep people out of the room.
Dripping From Light Fixtures or Vents
Water from a ceiling fixture or vent means it is already in the ceiling. Turn off that circuit and call for help.
Water in the AC Drain Pan
A full or overflowing condensate pan under an attic air handler means the drain line is clogged.

What Causes Attic Leaks
Storm Damage to the Roof
High winds, hail and fallen limbs can open the roof and let wind-driven rain into the attic.
Bathroom Fans Venting Into the Attic
Exhaust fans that end in the attic instead of outside put warm, wet air straight onto the decking.
Roof Leaks and Worn Shingles
Missing, cracked or worn shingles and failed flashing let rain into the attic, often far from the stain below.
Pipe Leaks in the Attic
Supply lines and water heater lines that run through the attic can crack or loosen and leak for days.

Attic Damage Restoration FAQs
Does a roof leak always cause attic damage?
Not always. A small, brief leak may only wet a little decking. Most leaks that reach the ceiling have also soaked insulation and framing.
Do the pros fix the roof?
No. A roofer repairs or tarps the roof. The pros remove the water and wet insulation and dry the attic once the roof is covered.
What is attic damage restoration?
It is the cleanup and drying of an attic after a roof, pipe or AC leak: removing water and wet insulation and drying the decking, rafters and ceiling.
Is attic water damage covered by insurance?
Sudden leaks and storm damage are often covered. Slow leaks from worn roofs may not be. Your insurer makes the decision.
Can mold grow in a wet attic?
Yes. Hot, damp attic wood can start growing mold within a few days, which is why drying matters.
