Behind Wall Water Extraction by Water Damage Pros in El Campo

Comprehensive Behind Wall Water Extraction Offered in El Campo

Wall Cavity Water Extraction

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

Moisture Barrier Installation

Some exterior walls have a plastic vapor barrier behind the drywall. After drying, a damaged barrier is replaced so the wall works as designed.

Wall Leak Source Identification

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.

Hidden Water Damage Detection

Readings taken through the drywall show which sections are wet, so only those need to be opened or dried.

Wet Drywall

Wet drywall from clean water can sometimes be dried in place. Drywall wet with dirty water or for days is usually replaced.
