Attic Water Damage in Oxnard Cleaned Up Fast

Water damage in attics can be hard to detect until it has proliferated for days, weeks, or even months. This type of damage creates a variety of potential problems for homeowners, from soft, crumbly drywall to mold growth on insulation. Consumer-grade products are not designed to handle these types of issues, but there is a team that can help.

If your Oxnard home needs water damage cleanup fast, the pros at SERVPRO can come to you within hours of your call to remove debris and restore your home to a preloss condition. SERVPRO uses a scientific approach to disaster cleanup, alongside cutting-edge moisture measurement technologies like infrared imaging and thermohygrometers, to determine the location of damages and remove them quickly and safely. SERVPRO also offers general contracting services (license #892710) for additional repairs after cleanup.

Preventing Water Damage to Your Attic
    •    Do a roof inspection. Check gutters, damaged shingles, or leaky flashing. While this may not be the source of your leak, these damages can make small issues much worse.
    •    Limit condensation. Water vapor from lower floors can accumulate in your attic, so keep vents clear of obstructions to prevent condensation that can cause water damage.
    •    Check your appliances. If you have an attic water heater, inspect the tank and supply line for leaks and flush it out regularly. If your central air conditioning is located in the attic, make sure your condensate drain is free of clogs to prevent overflows. You can implement an overflow safety switch to shut the A/C off before leaks can develop.
    •    Take care of your pipes. Many water supply lines are routed through homeowners' attics. If yours is unconditioned, cold temperatures can cause these pipes to burst from the pressure caused by freezing water. Check these areas for pinhole leaks and seepage, and contact a plumber right away to mitigate the issue.

How SERVPRO Removes Damage
SERVPRO technicians use a broad spectrum of tools to address structural damages and prepare your attic for drying. If you have fiberglass insulation, technicians can use a specialized vacuum to dry it separately from the structure and reinstall it after cleanup. Documents, books, and other paper goods that may have been affected by water can be taken offsite for a sublimation (freeze-drying) treatment. Instead of drying these papers the traditional way, freeze-drying prevents further water damage and maintains the current condition of documents.

SERVPRO of Oxnard works hard to ensure that your home looks, “Like it never even happened.” You can call (805) 984-2347 for rapid disaster cleanup today.
