Technicians locate where water got past the roof edge or gutter on a Freetown-Port Rico cottage. They trace how far it traveled into the soffit, attic space, or ceiling below.
Any ice or debris is cleared from the roof edge. The intrusion point is then covered so the area can dry completely without getting wet again on the next rain.
Soaked insulation and damaged drywall are removed. Air movers and dehumidifiers dry the framing to a verified target before new insulation, drywall, and paint are installed.
