The Behind Wall Water Extraction Process in Anthem, AZ
Wall Leak Source Identification
The pros trace water in a wall back to its source, such as a supply line, drain, window, roof or shower, so it can be repaired.
Post-Extraction Wall Sanitization
Treatment is done on dry surfaces, after removal and drying, so it does not trap moisture inside the wall.
Wall Cavity Water Extraction
Water trapped at the bottom of a wall cavity is drained through small holes or a removed baseboard, then extracted before drying starts.
Wet Drywall
A meter shows exactly how high the water wicked up the drywall, so the cut is made only where it is needed.
Moisture Barrier Installation
Barrier replacement is done after the cavity is dry, so moisture is not sealed in behind new materials.
