Specialized Behind Wall Water Extraction Methods in Frisco

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.

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.

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.

Post-Extraction Wall Sanitization

Treatment is done on dry surfaces, after removal and drying, so it does not trap moisture inside the wall.

Moisture Barrier Installation

Barrier replacement is done after the cavity is dry, so moisture is not sealed in behind new materials.
