Complete Behind Wall Water Extraction Solutions for Mercer Island

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.

Moisture Barrier Installation

Barrier replacement is done after the cavity is dry, so moisture is not sealed in behind new materials.

Wet Drywall

Drywall that is soft, crumbling or soaked above the floor is cut out above the wet line so the cavity behind it can dry.

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.

Interior Wall Drying Services

Wall cavity drying is checked with readings each day until studs, plates and drywall return to normal levels.
