Comprehensive Behind Wall Water Extraction Offered in Lincolnton
Wall Leak Source Identification
Leak tracing uses readings, thermal images and the pattern of the stain to find where water enters the wall.
Interior Wall Drying Services
Directed drying often saves drywall that would otherwise be cut out, as long as the water was clean and caught early.
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 Cavity Water Extraction
Water trapped at the bottom of a wall cavity is drained through small holes or a removed baseboard, then extracted before drying starts.
