Ace Fire and Water Restoration | Damage Restoration in Athol, MA

Slab leaks are often caused by shifting soil, corrosion of copper pipes, or poor construction in older Athol homes. Signs include warm spots on the floor, a sudden increase in your water bill, or the sound of running water. Ace Fire and Water Restoration uses electronic leak detection to locate the leak without unnecessary demolition. We then repair the pipe and use industrial drying equipment to dry out the slab and subfloor, preventing mold growth and structural damage.

Garage water intrusion in Athol can come from heavy rain, snowmelt, or a failing sump pump. If you notice standing water, damp drywall, or a musty smell, it's more than a puddle. Mold can start growing in 24-48 hours. Ace Fire and Water Restoration will extract the water, inspect for hidden moisture in walls and under flooring, and use moisture meters and thermal imaging to find all wet areas. We then dry the space thoroughly and can recommend waterproofing solutions to prevent future issues.

Ice dams on Athol roofs cause water to back up under shingles, leading to ceiling water stains, peeling paint, and even sagging drywall. The first sign is often a yellowish or brownish stain on your ceiling. Ace Fire and Water Restoration will first stop the leak source, then carefully dry the affected ceiling and insulation to prevent mold. We can repair the drywall and repaint the ceiling to match your existing finish. We also advise on improving attic ventilation and insulation to reduce ice dam recurrence.
