Specialized Behind Wall Water Extraction Methods in Marblehead

Wall Leak Source Identification

Leak tracing uses readings, thermal images and the pattern of the stain to find where water enters the wall.

Wet Drywall

Wet drywall from clean water can sometimes be dried in place. Drywall wet with dirty water or for days is usually replaced.

Hidden Water Damage Detection

Readings taken through the drywall show which sections are wet, so only those need to be opened or dried.

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.

Wall Cavity Water Extraction

Water trapped at the bottom of a wall cavity is drained through small holes or a removed baseboard, then extracted before drying starts.
