Water Removal Challenges When a Roof Drenches Nashua Property

Water damage restoration is a long and involved process. Contact SERVPRO of Nashua for certified technicians who are ready to help you.

Addressing Leaks and Trapped Moisture after Nashua Water Damage 

Whether yours is a historical property like Laton House Nashua, an older facility like Pratt Homes or a newly constructed premises, roof issues can lead to significant water intrusion. Without thorough water removal and properly addressing other issues, such roof problems can be stubborn. You may find the tools and materials you need at Nashua Ace Hardware, Belletetes of Nashua Lowes and The Home Depot. Consider involving roof repair service providers like Chick Beaulieu and W. Ticos Roofing LLC or debris removers like NE Dumpster. However, a full restoration service such as SERVPRO® offers more convenience. 

When the roof issues necessitate water removal at your Nashua property, you must do much more than extract or mop the standing water. Identifying the cause and mitigating it is essential to avoid further intrusion. That way, you can proceed with water removal and drying without worrying about rain and other weather elements. When SERVPRO installs a roof tarp, your worries about further leaks are over.  

Other challenges  

• Ponding in flat-roofed establishments like Nashua YMCA or Fright Kingdom 
• Debris build up on roof valley 
• Rectifying flashing failures along vents, skylights and chimneys 

Most of the water seeping through the roof may end up trapped inside the ceiling, making it soggy or sagging. Our SERVPRO technicians can drill weep holes to ensure the ceiling does not collapse and drain the water. If the water is inside the walls, creating vent holes after removing the baseboard releases it to the floor, where we can scoop it up with wet vacuums and mops. Suppose the ceiling collapses before we can implement the precautions. In that case, you may have to spend a couple of days in facilities like Clarion Inn, DoubleTree and Motel 6 as we remove the ceiling panel debris and extract water. 

Drying concludes water removal and usually involves improving evaporation and humidity control. Our crews use air movers and dehumidifiers to facilitate this. We may also use lay-flat ducts or cavity drying equipment to reach target areas better.
