Look past the stain on the drywall
What shows up on the attic decking or insulation is rarely the whole story. A plan that holds up traces the roof or vent leak behind it, attic humidity and airflow, the condition of the framing and insulation, containment during removal, and confirmation that the space is actually dry once the work is done.
Build a complete scope
- Where the moisture is coming from, resolved before costing the work
- Whether persistent coastal humidity rather than a leak is the driver
- Containment and air handling while the area is opened up
- The removal-versus-clean line and the basis for drawing it there
- Verification, plus the dehumidification approach that keeps it away
Mount Pleasant context
Mount Pleasant has older village homes, raised Lowcountry construction, large planned communities, and fast coastal infill. Marsh proximity, tidal flood risk, salt air, wind, high water tables, and humid heat shape material choices and site logistics.
