Your Behind Wall Water Extraction Questions for Midlothian
When is wet drywall and insulation removal required?
When drywall is soft, crumbling or wet with dirty water, or when insulation is soaked. Lightly damp drywall can sometimes be dried.

Wet framing and insulation can cause musty odors and microbial growth, which is why drying the cavity matters.

Often, if the leak was sudden. Slow leaks and the repair of the leaking pipe itself may not be covered.
What are signs of water inside walls?
Stains, bubbling paint, soft drywall, musty smells, dripping sounds and a rising water bill.
