Attic Moisture Damage for Your Monroe Home

With so many homes throughout the Greater Monroe area with livable attic space, water penetration from vulnerabilities in the roof or soffit of the house can cause many problems. Even if you can quickly identify a problem as it exists, addressing these effects must happen quickly by competent professionals like our team. The technicians of our water recovery unit all have accreditations from the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) as both Water Restoration (WRT) and Applied Structural Drying Technicians (ASD). 

Our extensive training for water damage recovery in Monroe is just the beginning to what our professionals can offer your home. We understand how quickly even moisture damage can spread throughout the attic, affecting various materials and contents within this area, so we move quickly to set up containment and to get mitigation work started right away. Our SERVPRO team has effective tools and equipment to begin addressing the primary damaging elements within the house, starting with the saturation. 

Moisture content is not something that many homeowners or even skilled professionals can determine without sophisticated equipment like our readers and detection devices. With approaches like thermal imagery, our technicians can identify moisture pockets even behind walls and other building materials. 

Rapid drying solutions are critical for any variety of water damage that exists in homes throughout our service area. We utilize multiple types of dehumidifiers and air movers, all of which have the strength and effectiveness to quickly reduce humidity and moisture content levels in even large spaces like open attic areas. In some cases, our SERVPRO team might need to address moisture damage directly through the use of our Injecti-Dry System, which can get directed through walls and ceilings to where the dampness gets found. 

We know how important it is to respond to even moisture damage quickly, as these effects can spread to new areas and allow for secondary effects like mold growth to develop. Whenever dampness finds a path to your attic space, give our SERVPRO of Monroe / West Monroe team a call at (318) 345-5121.
