Specialized Behind Wall Water Extraction Methods in North Tustin
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.
Interior Wall Drying Services
Dry air is pushed into the wall cavity through small holes near the base, while dehumidifiers pull moisture out of the room.
Wet Drywall
Wet drywall from clean water can sometimes be dried in place. Drywall wet with dirty water or for days is usually replaced.
Emergency Behind Wall Water Removal
Help is available any hour when water is pouring from a wall or a pipe has burst inside it.
