Comprehensive Attic Water Extraction Services in Tonganoxie
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.
Emergency Attic Water Extraction
Help is available any hour, because water sitting on top of a ceiling can bring the drywall down within a day.
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.
Attic Drying Services
Attic ventilation affects drying time. Dehumidifiers pull moisture from the air while air movers push dry air over wet wood.
Wet Attic Insulation Removal
Blown-in insulation that got wet is vacuumed out of the affected bays, and fiberglass batts are pulled and bagged.

How Attic Water Extraction Works in Tonganoxie

Air movers and dehumidifiers are set on boards across the joists and run until readings drop.

Readings on decking, rafters and the ceiling confirm the attic is dry before new insulation goes in.
