Specialized Behind Wall Water Extraction Methods in Fulton

Interior Wall Drying Services

Directed drying often saves drywall that would otherwise be cut out, as long as the water was clean and caught early.

Wet insulation inside the cavity holds water against the studs. It is pulled out so the cavity can be extracted and dried.

The pros trace water in a wall back to its source, such as a supply line, drain, window, roof or shower, so it can be repaired.

Wet Drywall

A meter shows exactly how high the water wicked up the drywall, so the cut is made only where it is needed.
