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.

A vapor barrier that trapped water against the studs is removed during drying, and a new one is installed only after readings are normal.

Wet Drywall

Wet drywall from clean water can sometimes be dried in place. Drywall wet with dirty water or for days is usually replaced.

FAQ: Behind Wall Water Extraction in North Bend, WA

How do pros find hidden water damage in walls?

With moisture meters and thermal cameras, which show wet areas behind drywall before anything is opened.

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.

Is wet wall removal covered by homeowners insurance?

A plastic vapor barrier in some exterior walls. If it was damaged or trapped water, it is replaced after the cavity is dry.

What happens during a wall moisture inspection?
