The inspection maps where the water went from the leak point, which decides what is extracted, removed or dried in place.

Attic Water Extraction FAQs for Grayson Homeowners
How quickly should I deal with water in my attic?
Right away. Water sitting on ceiling drywall can make it sag or fall within a day, and wet wood starts to break down.
Why is wet insulation removal often necessary?
Soaked insulation stays wet for a long time, adds weight to the ceiling and loses its insulating value.
How long does the attic drying process take?
Often several days, depending on how wet the wood is, the attic temperature and how much insulation was removed.
What causes attic water damage?
Roof leaks, attic plumbing failures, overflowing AC drain pans, poor ventilation and bath fans venting into the attic.
What should I do while waiting for water damage help?
Catch drips with a bucket, move belongings, keep away from sagging ceilings and turn off power to wet fixtures.
