Technicians inspect the attic and ceilings in Cedar Crest homes to find where backed-up meltwater entered from the roof line. They identify wet insulation and any compromised drywall around the leak path.
The crew safely relieves trapped water behind swollen ceilings. They then remove all soaked drywall and insulation affected by the intrusion to prevent mold and structural issues.
Air movers and dehumidifiers dry the attic framing and wall cavities. Moisture levels are checked daily until every material, from wood to plaster, reads completely dry.
Because these events are uncommon in Cedar Crest, cleanup varies, commonly from about $1,200 to $5,500 when a hard freeze does force meltwater into a home.
