The Behind Wall Water Extraction Process in Windham, OH

Post-Extraction Wall Sanitization

Treatment is done on dry surfaces, after removal and drying, so it does not trap moisture inside the wall.

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.

Wall Leak Source Identification

Finding the source matters because drying is wasted if the wall keeps getting wet. The source is noted for your plumber or roofer.

Moisture Barrier Installation

A vapor barrier that trapped water against the studs is removed during drying, and a new one is installed only after readings are normal.

Wet Drywall

Drywall that is soft, crumbling or soaked above the floor is cut out above the wet line so the cavity behind it can dry.

Unexplained Water Stains

A stain on a wall with no obvious source usually means water is coming from inside the wall or above it.

Dampness on Wall Surfaces

A wall that feels cool and damp to the touch may have wet insulation or drywall behind it.

Drywall and insulation that cannot be saved are removed, and the area is cleaned up.
