Heath Drywall Water Damage Repair Services
Drywall Water Extraction
Drywall itself does not hold standing water for long, but the cavity behind it can. Extraction targets that space before drying begins.
Wet Drywall Removal
Moisture readings show how high water wicked up the wall. The cut is made just above that line, which keeps the patch as small as possible.
Drywall Mold Prevention
Drywall paper is a food source for mold when it stays damp, so walls are dried until readings are normal.
Emergency Drywall Water Repair
Emergency work starts with stopping the water, protecting the room and opening the wall or ceiling where water is trapped.
Drywall Drying Services
Small holes near the base of the wall let dry air reach the cavity, drying the studs and back of the drywall.
