Complete Behind Wall Water Extraction Solutions for Balch Springs
Hidden Water Damage Detection
Readings taken through the drywall show which sections are wet, so only those need to be opened or dried.
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.
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.
Interior Wall Drying Services
Wall cavity drying is checked with readings each day until studs, plates and drywall return to normal levels.

Extracting standing water from the bottom plate area keeps it from wicking into the floor and the next room.
