The past couple of weeks have been a serious test for just about every roof, wall, and foundation in Northern California. Problems are surfacing everywhere and, predictably, restoration contractors are slammed.
"You can't really tell this is wet," said Andrew McCullough of AMAC Construction, looking a home's interior wall."But she saw this little bubbling right here. Right there, that's water in there.""So it's a small leak," Andrew explained."It's just leaking in and spreading slowly."
Andrew McCullough of AMAC Construction shows KPIX reporter Wilson Walker storm-related water damage inside the attic of a Pleasant Hill home."So this is 9%," Andrew said, testing the moisture level in the roof's floorboards."That's about what plywood should be. Now we're at 100%. So what we've got to do is get this wood back to here. This is a cellulose, blown-in insulation. So it's wet and we have to remove it.
"I mean, there are chemicals in the soil," Andrew explained."Here is urine from animals and what not. That goes into your home, it has to be treated properly. Disinfected properly." "These are very valuable right now," Andrew said of the dehumidifiers outside."They're out. Everyone's out of equipment. We're bringing them off jobs. We started last week, and they're going back out on new ones today. In and out, we're putting them all over the Bay Area."
