When the insulation in your attic gets wet, problems such as mold damage can occur. Contact our team to investigate the extent of the water damage.

Heavy Rains Can Cause Flood Damage To Your Littleton Attic Due to Faulty Roofing.

Thunderstorms can bring intense winds and rains to your home, but they can become disastrous and cause flood damage inside of your home when the roof above you is sporting a hole. Over time, roofs become weathered and damaged. With enough time, those damages can become extensive and lead to holes forming as the shingles rot away. Getting your roof replaced is expensive, but pushing it off as long as possible can cause more problems, such as rain pouring through a hole and into your home.

The water from flood damage inside of your Littleton  attic soaked the insulation and wooden structure inside. Some of the water even traveled down to the structure of your house, causing bubbles to form in the paint covering the walls in your living room. In this situation, the best thing to do as quickly as possible is to call someone about the hole in your roof as well as calling for professional water damage remediation services.

When you get in touch with SERVPRO, we make sure to send our technicians to your home as quickly as possible. After a brief investigation, our technicians may decide it is best to remove the soaked insulation, especially if this is not the first time rain has gotten into your home and there is evidence of mold damage. Afterward, SERVPRO can create a drying plan and then begin to set up equipment in your attic, meant to create an ideal environment for evaporation.

SERVPRO can set up axial fans, air movers, and dehumidifiers in the attic, devices that work in conjunction to remove moisture from the air, as well as to introduce fresh and dry air to the area of impact. Where water slipped down to your living room, we can feed air blasting tubes down through the walls, from the attic, to ensure that the space between your walls is also adequately dry.

If sudden flood damage impacts your home, get help immediately. Speak with SERVPRO of Marlboro / Concord by dialing the number (978) 486-9868. Day or night, our technicians are always available to help you.
