Complete Behind Wall Water Extraction Solutions for Picture Rocks
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.
Post-Extraction Wall Sanitization
Treatment is done on dry surfaces, after removal and drying, so it does not trap moisture inside the wall.
Wet Drywall
A meter shows exactly how high the water wicked up the drywall, so the cut is made only where it is needed.
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.
Wall Leak Source Identification
Leak tracing uses readings, thermal images and the pattern of the stain to find where water enters the wall.
