Complete Behind Wall Water Extraction Solutions for Bainbridge Island
Wall Cavity Water Extraction
Extracting standing water from the bottom plate area keeps it from wicking into the floor and the next room.
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.
Post-Extraction Wall Sanitization
Treatment is done on dry surfaces, after removal and drying, so it does not trap moisture inside the wall.
Hidden Water Damage Detection
Readings taken through the drywall show which sections are wet, so only those need to be opened or dried.

How fast can emergency behind wall water removal start?
Help is available any hour, and extraction can start as soon as the water is shut off.
