Comprehensive Drywall Water Damage Repair in Lake Stevens
Ceiling Water Damage Repair
Ceiling patches need careful finishing so they do not show under light. Texture and paint are blended with the surrounding ceiling.
Drywall Water Extraction
Water trapped in the bottom of a wall cavity is drained through small holes or behind removed baseboards, then the cavity is dried.
Drywall Drying Services
Small holes near the base of the wall let dry air reach the cavity, drying the studs and back of the drywall.
Drywall Leak Repair
Once the leak is fixed and the cavity is dry, new drywall is hung, taped and finished to match the wall.
Drywall Mold Prevention
Drying wet drywall and framing quickly is the main way to limit microbial growth inside walls. Framing that stayed wet can be treated once dry.
