Job completed for Diane S. - Roseland, NJ - Water Damage

Solutions provided:

Homeowner Diane S. in Roseland, NJ reported water damage in her attic following a severe storm that caused a roof leak above her home. High winds and driving rain compromised a section of shingles, allowing rainwater to penetrate the roof deck and saturate the attic insulation and wood framing. The leak went unnoticed until water stains appeared on the second-floor ceiling below the attic. Upon inspection, our technicians discovered active moisture in multiple areas of the attic, along with wet insulation and water-damaged plywood sheathing. Emergency tarping was provided to stop further intrusion, followed by storm and flood damage cleanup.

In Roseland, NJ, our storm and flood damage team performed water extraction, removed wet insulation, and initiated structural drying using dehumidifiers and directed air flow to the affected attic cavities. The loss was covered by the homeowner’s insurance policy due to its classification as storm-related roof leak damage. All impacted materials were treated with antimicrobial agents to prevent mold development in the enclosed attic space. The attic in this Roseland, NJ home was fully dried, and roof repairs were coordinated with a licensed roofing contractor to restore weather protection. This storm damage restoration project in Roseland, NJ shows how roof leaks can silently impact upper levels and require fast mitigation to prevent further interior damage.
