The Behind Wall Water Extraction Process in Carlisle, SC
Moisture Barrier Installation
A vapor barrier that trapped water against the studs is removed during drying, and a new one is installed only after readings are normal.
Interior Wall Drying Services
Wall cavity drying is checked with readings each day until studs, plates and drywall return to normal levels.
Hidden Water Damage Detection
Detection starts at the visible stain or soft spot and works outward, checking studs, baseboards and the floor along the wall.
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.
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.

Increased Humidity in Home
A home that feels more humid than usual can have wet materials inside the walls.
