Your Behind Wall Water Extraction Questions for Hephzibah
What are signs of water inside walls?
Stains, bubbling paint, soft drywall, musty smells, dripping sounds and a rising water bill.
How is a wall leak detected without visible signs?
Thermal cameras and meters can find cool, wet areas, and a water meter test can show a hidden supply leak.
Is wet wall removal covered by homeowners insurance?
Often, if the leak was sudden. Slow leaks and the repair of the leaking pipe itself may not be covered.
When is wet drywall and insulation removal required?
When drywall is soft, crumbling or wet with dirty water, or when insulation is soaked. Lightly damp drywall can sometimes be dried.
Why is post-extraction wall sanitization important?
Framing that stayed wet, or was reached by drain water, can be cleaned and treated so odors and mold do not develop.
