Roof Leak Water Removal
A tarp can be placed over the damaged roof section to stop more rain from getting in while drying begins below.
Attic Leak Water Cleanup
Leak cleanup in an attic means working between joists and around ducts, wiring and insulation, removing water from every spot it pooled.

Why Attics Get Water Damage in Mount Olympus
Condensation From Poor Ventilation
Warm, moist air from the house condenses on cold roof decking when the attic is poorly vented.

Bathroom fans that vent into the attic, or have disconnected ducts, release moisture onto the decking.
Burst or Leaking Plumbing Pipes
Supply lines and water heaters in the attic can leak or burst directly onto the ceiling.
Ice Dam Formation on Roof
Ice dams at the roof edge force melting snow back under the shingles and into the attic.
