Interior Wall Drying Services
Wall cavity drying is checked with readings each day until studs, plates and drywall return to normal levels.
Moisture Barrier Installation
Barrier replacement is done after the cavity is dry, so moisture is not sealed in behind new materials.
Wall Leak Source Identification
Leak tracing uses readings, thermal images and the pattern of the stain to find where water enters the wall.
Post-Extraction Wall Sanitization
If the water came from a drain or sewer line, the cavity is cleaned and disinfected before it is closed up.
