Warning Signs You Need Attic Water Removal
High Utility Bills Unexpectedly
Wet insulation loses its insulating value, so energy bills can rise after an attic leak.

Ceiling drywall that sags, bulges or bubbles at the seams is holding water and may fall.
Increased Indoor Humidity Levels
Upstairs rooms that feel sticky or humid may have moisture coming down from the attic.
Water Stains on Ceiling
A brown ring or yellow patch on an upstairs ceiling usually means water is sitting on the drywall from the attic.
How Attic Water Removal Works in Alderwood Manor

Step 2: Targeted Attic Moisture Removal
Water is vacuumed from between joists and on top of drywall, starting where it is deepest.

Photos and moisture readings are compiled to show what was removed and when the attic dried.
Common Causes of Attic Water Damage in Alderwood Manor
Roof Leaks From Damaged Shingles
Cracked, missing or lifted shingles let rain reach the decking and drip into the attic.
HVAC System Leaks or Drain Pan Overflow
An attic air handler overflows when its condensate line clogs or the drain pan cracks.
Clogged or Disconnected Gutters
Clogged or loose gutters let water back up under the roof edge and into the soffits.
Storm Damage From High Winds or Hail
High winds and hail can damage shingles and open the roof to rain during a storm.
