Roof Leak Announces Itself with Water Damage in Nutley Home

Plaster walls tend to react badly to water damage as seen in this Nutley home. The longer plaster has exposure to moisture, the more it deteriorates and loses its grip to the lathe. SERVPRO technicians came to the property and found staining on the ceiling from a slow leak from the roof. The techs removed the damaged areas of plaster on the ceiling and exposed the lathe to make the area easier to dry. During the drying phase, the techs carefully monitor the process to ensure no further losses occur. Afterward, they prep the area for repairs that need to happen to restore the room to its preloss condition.
