Comprehensive Behind Wall Water Extraction Offered in Harlem

Moisture Barrier Installation

Barrier replacement is done after the cavity is dry, so moisture is not sealed in behind new materials.

Post-Extraction Wall Sanitization

After drying, framing and the back of drywall can be cleaned and treated with an antimicrobial where they stayed wet.

Wall Leak Source Identification

Leak tracing uses readings, thermal images and the pattern of the stain to find where water enters the wall.
