Attic Water Extraction and Damage Mitigation in Fate

Attic Mold Prevention

Moisture sources such as a bath fan venting into the attic are noted, since they keep the attic damp after the leak is fixed.

Attic Moisture Inspection

Readings taken at each visit show drying progress and give you a record for your insurer.

Emergency Attic Water Extraction

When rain or a burst attic pipe floods the attic floor, water is vacuumed off the decking and drywall tops before it soaks through to the rooms below.

Attic Drying Services

Drying runs until wood framing and ceiling drywall reach normal readings. Equipment is moved as each area dries.

Upstairs rooms that feel humid or clammy may have moisture coming down from the attic.
