When your attic is flooded, quick action is required. Our team is ready 24/7 365 days a year to tackle your emergency.

SERVPRO Restorers Have Extraction and Drying Tools to Help After Flooding in Anacortes Properties

Standing water is possible in attics after water penetration following severe weather events targeting Skagit County. When water pools in finished or unfinished attic spaces, specific extraction devices must reach these upper levels with their confined space restrictions. Some of these tools include:

• High-pressure pumps
• Truck-mount extractors
• Wet vacuums
• Light wands

Water Movement Through Unfinished Attic Space

Flood damage in Anacortes homes that originates in the attic can spread to the lower levels quickly with an unfinished attic. The only lines of defense for the rest of the house after water penetrates this storage area are insulation and the ceiling system. Leaks and drips from this ceiling indicate that a problem exists with the roof and attic.

Ceiling Repairs Necessary After Leaks

With a general contractor license, our professionals can provide several repair and reconstruction services for damaged homes after flooding. Roof repairs are common in attic flooding situations, but so are the ceiling systems that can absorb a damaging volume of water as it migrates to the lower levels of the property.

Whether it is cleaning up after flooding or rebuilding the house, you can trust in the fast and reliable response of our SERVPRO of Skagit County team to help. We are ready 24/7 at (360) 873-8744.
