Comprehensive Behind Wall Water Extraction Offered in Batesburg-Leesville

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.

Hidden Water Damage Detection

Moisture meters and thermal cameras show wet areas inside a wall without opening it, mapping how far water spread from the leak.

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

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

Emergency Behind Wall Water Removal

Emergency removal starts with shutting off the water, then opening the wall where needed and extracting water from the cavity and floor.
