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.

Hidden Water Damage Detection
Detection starts at the visible stain or soft spot and works outward, checking studs, baseboards and the floor along the wall.
Interior Wall Drying Services
Dry air is pushed into the wall cavity through small holes near the base, while dehumidifiers pull moisture out of the room.
Emergency Behind Wall Water Removal
Emergency removal starts with shutting off the water, then opening the wall where needed and extracting water from the cavity and floor.
