The Behind Wall Water Extraction Process in Westwing Mountain, AZ
Interior Wall Drying Services
Directed drying often saves drywall that would otherwise be cut out, as long as the water was clean and caught early.
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.
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.
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
Moisture meters and thermal cameras show wet areas inside a wall without opening it, mapping how far water spread from the leak.
