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.

Symptoms Requiring Attic Water Removal in Reading

The pros check safety, find the source and map the wet area with moisture meters.

Why Attics Develop Water Damage
Clogged or Disconnected Gutters
Clogged or loose gutters let water back up under the roof edge and into the soffits.

Failed flashing around vents, chimneys and skylights lets rain run into the attic.
Overflow From Clogged Bathroom Exhaust Ducts
Bathroom fan ducts that are loose or vented into the attic release moisture onto the wood.
Ice Dam Formation on Roof Edges
Ice dams at the roof edge force melting snow back under shingles and into the attic.
