Specialized Behind Wall Water Extraction Methods in Leonard

Hidden Water Damage Detection

Readings taken through the drywall show which sections are wet, so only those need to be opened or dried.

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.

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.

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.

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.
