Wet insulation is the main problem in attic leaks. It soaks up water, gets heavy and keeps the drywall underneath wet long after the leak stops. In Wilmington homes, removing it is usually the first step after extraction.
Homeowners in Wilmington can call (857) 367-8060 day or night when water is coming through the ceiling. Service also covers Burlington, Reading and Woburn, with the same extraction and drying steps.
