Attic Water Damage in Dallas/Fort Worth and North Texas

Attic Water Damage is more common than most homeowners realize. Ice dams and condensation are characteristic winter weather phenomena, especially in cold, snowy climates. However, even in warm climates such as in Dallas and North Texas, attic water damage is typical as well. Leaky Roofs can cause loss to the attic, as well as the fixtures and personal items in and surrounding the attic. In terms of wet insulation, electrical shorts, and content damage, and also ceilings, walls and flooring inside the home can suffer extensive damage, as well. Unfortunately, because this area of the house is not frequently visited, homeowners usually discover attic water damage accidentally or when other areas in the house have been visibly affected.

Roof Ice Dams

Ice dams are formed when there is an accumulation of ice or snow at the eaves, or lower edges of the roof. When the attic temperature is above freezing, ice and snow begin to melt, resulting in water re-freezing on the colder eaves and gutters, forming icicles. As the melting and re-freezing pattern replays over several days, ice dams are formed and more and more water is collected behind them. Pools of water then back up on the roof and leak through the shingles into the attic, causing roof, attic and ceiling damage, mold and content loss.

Condensation

As warm air in the home rises into a cold attic, condensation takes place. Water vapor in the air comes in contact with cold attic areas, leading to wood rot, mold and structural damage. Excessive moisture and condensation problems will cause home owners significant expenses.

Contents Loss Due to Attic Water Damage

Roof Leaks more than likely will cause Content Damage. Possessions stored in attics are subject to water damage from condensation, roof leaks and mold. Content restoration companies can salvage many water damaged belongings rather than replacing them. Contact Dalworth Restoration for a consultation with a restoration professional who can save irreplaceable heirlooms and mementoes stored in your attic.
