Not every wet wall needs to be torn out. In Ralston, drywall that got wet from a clean water leak and was caught early can often be dried in place with directed airflow.

Homes in Ralston and nearby La Vista, Papillion and Dundee have plumbing, wiring and insulation inside their walls, all of which can hide a leak. The pros find the water, open the wall where needed and dry the cavity.

Behind Wall Water Extraction Services in Ralston

Wall Cavity Water Extraction

Extracting standing water from the bottom plate area keeps it from wicking into the floor and the next room.

Post-Extraction Wall Sanitization

Treatment is done on dry surfaces, after removal and drying, so it does not trap moisture inside the wall.

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.

Interior Wall Drying Services

Wall cavity drying is checked with readings each day until studs, plates and drywall return to normal levels.
