The Behind Wall Water Extraction Process in Waller, WA
Interior Wall Drying Services
Dry air is pushed into the wall cavity through small holes near the base, while dehumidifiers pull moisture out of the room.
Wet Drywall
Wet drywall from clean water can sometimes be dried in place. Drywall wet with dirty water or for days is usually replaced.
Wall Cavity Water Extraction
Extracting standing water from the bottom plate area keeps it from wicking into the floor and the next room.
Hidden Water Damage Detection
Readings taken through the drywall show which sections are wet, so only those need to be opened or dried.
