Water Damaged Subfloor Removal

Wet Bathroom Drywall Removal
Drywall that wicked water behind a tub, toilet or vanity is cut back above the wet line, so the studs and insulation behind it can dry.
Toilet Overflow Water Removal

Shower Leak Water Damage Repair
After drying, the shower can be repaired properly instead of covering a wet wall with new tile.
