Emergency Attic Water Extraction for Hilmar-Irwin Homes
Water in an attic has only one place to go: down through the ceiling. In Hilmar-Irwin, a roof leak, a burst attic pipe or an overflowing AC pan can put water on top of the ceiling drywall, where it soaks in and starts to sag.
Homeowners in Hilmar-Irwin can call (559) 272-9793 day or night when water is coming through the ceiling. Service also covers Hilmar, Delhi and Stevinson, with the same extraction and drying steps.
