Behind Wall Water Extraction Services in Montclair

Post-Extraction Wall Sanitization

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

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.

Moisture Barrier Installation

Some exterior walls have a plastic vapor barrier behind the drywall. After drying, a damaged barrier is replaced so the wall works as designed.

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

A burst pipe inside a wall can flood the floor and the room below quickly. Fast extraction limits how far it spreads.
