Attic Water Damage & Leak Repair
Scope of Work
Emergency attic moisture investigation, drywall protection, and comprehensive roof leak repair in San Diego. Identified hidden valley infiltration, replaced soaked fiberglass insulation, repaired rotted roof decking, installed premium synthetic underlayment, and reinstalled field tiles with proper overlap and ridge seals.
Materials & Specifications
The Problem & Local Climate Challenge
The homeowner noticed a musty odor and yellowing drywall on their upper-floor ceiling. An attic inspection uncovered saturated insulation and surface mold spreading across a 10-foot section of roof rafters. The moisture was tracing back to an unsealed valley metal joint where debris had built up, forcing rainwater to back up underneath the tiles during heavy rainfall.
Technical Solution & Engineering Execution
Our rapid-response roof repair team cleared the blocked roof valley and removed damaged insulation to dry the attic framing with commercial air movers. On the roof surface, we peeled back the valley tiles, replaced rotted 1/2-inch CDX decking, and installed heavy-gauge W-valley metal over two layers of self-adhered synthetic membrane. We reinstalled the field tiles with proper tile cuts and sealed all mortar transitions. We then installed fresh high-efficiency R-38 fiberglass attic insulation, leaving the homeowner with a clean, dry, and energy-efficient attic.
