Common Causes of Water Damage in Attics
To properly solve the issue, it is important to know the common causes of attic water damage. While performing a water damage inspection, be sure to look for:
- Damaged roof parts, including shingles, ridge caps, and roof flashing
- Ice dams that are trapping melting snow
- Improper sealing
- Extreme temperature changes
- Blocked or broken gutters and downspouts
- Condensation and moisture from poor attic ventilation
- Frost buildup caused by poor attic insulation
- Air conditioner condenser failures (when stored in the attic)
- Other plumbing or HVAC systems malfunctioning
Roof Ice Dams and Attic Water Restoration
Ice dams form along the edge of a roof and can cause leaks in the attic. A leaking roof can cause structural problems over time, which is why it’s important to remove ice dams and their underlying causes.
Attic Mold Removal Services
When left ignored for an extended amount of time, a water-damaged attic grows mold. Mold causes severe structural damage and health issues that become harder to resolve the longer it persists.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can water damage in the attic be dangerous?
In the short term, no. In the long term, absolutely. Waiting to address water damage in the attic increases the risk of health issues, irreversible structural damage, and potential accidents from your house or building breaking down.
Will the water in the attic dry out on its own?
It depends on how ventilated the attic is and how much water is in it. If your attic is well-ventilated with minimal water, it is certainly possible for it to dry on its own.
If your attic is poorly ventilated and has noticeable amounts of water, it will not dry on its own.
Does attic insulation need to be replaced if it gets wet?
This depends on the extent of the water damage and how well the insulation can be dried afterwards. If you can completely dry your recently wet insulation, you can most likely save it.
If you have had wet insulation in the attic for a prolonged period, you will most likely need it replaced.
