Comprehensive Behind Wall Water Extraction Offered in Hanover
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.
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.
Moisture Barrier Installation
Barrier replacement is done after the cavity is dry, so moisture is not sealed in behind new materials.
Post-Extraction Wall Sanitization
After drying, framing and the back of drywall can be cleaned and treated with an antimicrobial where they stayed wet.
Wall Cavity Water Extraction
Extracting standing water from the bottom plate area keeps it from wicking into the floor and the next room.
Signs of Hidden Water Damage in Hanover Homes
Sounds of Dripping Inside Walls
Dripping or running water sounds inside a wall when no fixture is on usually mean a pipe leak.
Paint or Wallpaper Blistering
Paint or wallpaper that blisters or peels is often lifting from moisture behind it.
Sagging or Drooping Drywall
Drywall that sags or droops is holding water and can fail. Keep clear and call for help.
Warped or Bubbling Drywall
Drywall that bubbles, bows or warps has water behind it pushing on the paper face.
