Visible Mold in Attic
Dark spots on roof decking or rafters mean the wood has stayed damp for some time.

Step 1: Initial Assessment and Water Removal
The pros find the source, check safety in the attic and remove standing water and wet debris.

Typical Sources of Attic Moisture Issues
Improperly Sealed Roof Penetrations
Gaps around vents, pipes and antennas that pass through the roof let water in when seals fail.
Burst or Leaking Plumbing Pipes
Supply lines and water heaters in the attic can leak or burst directly onto the ceiling.

Worn flashing around valleys, chimneys and skylights lets water run into the attic.
Storm Damage From Wind or Hail
Wind and hail can tear shingles or puncture the roof, letting rain in during the storm.
