Specialized Behind Wall Water Extraction Methods in Pilot Point

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 Leak Source Identification

Finding the source matters because drying is wasted if the wall keeps getting wet. The source is noted for your plumber or roofer.

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.

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.

Post-Extraction Wall Sanitization

After drying, framing and the back of drywall can be cleaned and treated with an antimicrobial where they stayed wet.

Your Behind Wall Water Extraction Questions for Pilot Point

What happens during a wall moisture inspection?

Readings are taken across the wall and nearby floors and walls, and thermal images show the wet pattern.

What is a moisture barrier after water extraction?

Why call pros for water extraction from walls?
