Common Attic Water Extraction Questions Answered
Why is wet insulation removal often necessary?
Soaked insulation stays wet for a long time, adds weight to the ceiling and loses its insulating value.
Does a roof leak always cause attic water damage?
Almost always some. Even a small leak wets the decking and insulation, which should be checked and dried.
What is the purpose of attic mold prevention?
To slow microbial growth on wood that stayed wet, by drying it quickly and treating it with an antimicrobial if needed.
How long does the attic drying process take?
Often several days, depending on how wet the wood is, the attic temperature and how much insulation was removed.
How quickly should I deal with water in my attic?
Right away. Water sitting on ceiling drywall can make it sag or fall within a day, and wet wood starts to break down.
