Roof vulnerabilities can result in flood damage and continued degradation of New London properties.

From harsh winds and torrential rainfall to significant weather events during the winter months, there are several threats a property might experience that could compromise or cripple exterior defenses like the roof. We have fast repair and flood cleanup solutions to help.

Temporary Construction Solutions

Flood damage in New London homes entering the attic space requires certain types of reconstruction and repair services to resolve. First, vulnerabilities where water can penetrate, must be fixed and sealed using temporary construction solutions like board-up and tarping. Our contractor license gives us the expertise to evaluate the condition of properties and where this type of repair and emergency services might be needed.

Clearing Water Damage from Attics

Standing water in the attic or excess moisture can be destructive to the property in several ways. Damp materials can sag and collapse in the living space beneath the attic while standing water or humid conditions can facilitate mold growth if water damage is not quickly resolved. The water removal services and drying needed to help after penetration requires a combination of extractors and evaporative drying equipment like:

• High-pressure pumps
• Wet vacuums
• Axial air movers
• Desiccant dehumidifiers
