Hidden Water Damage Detection
Moisture meters and thermal cameras show wet areas inside a wall without opening it, mapping how far water spread from the leak.
Wet Drywall
Wet drywall from clean water can sometimes be dried in place. Drywall wet with dirty water or for days is usually replaced.
Wall Leak Source Identification
Leak tracing uses readings, thermal images and the pattern of the stain to find where water enters the wall.
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.
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.
