Chicago Roof Leak Water Damage Extraction & Emergency Tarping Triage
Chicago's severe convective thunderstorms, heavy lake-effect snows, and freeze-thaw ice damming place intense stress on commercial flat roofs and residential shingle systems. When roofs fail, water cascades into attics, insulation, and interior walls. We provide emergency tarping referrals, water extraction, attic insulation removal, and structural cavity drying.
Attic Insulation Removal & Ceiling Cavity Drying
Wet cellulose or fiberglass attic insulation compresses, loses all R-value thermal resistance, and traps moisture against drywall ceilings below. Rapid vacuum removal of saturated insulation allows structural ceiling framing to dry quickly.
