Your Behind Wall Water Extraction Questions for El Nido
What is a moisture barrier after water extraction?
A plastic vapor barrier in some exterior walls. If it was damaged or trapped water, it is replaced after the cavity is dry.
What is behind wall water extraction?
Finding water inside a wall cavity, removing it through small openings or removed drywall, and drying the framing and insulation until readings are normal.
Is the source of a wall leak identified?
Yes. The pros trace the water to a pipe, fixture, window or roof leak and note it so the right repair can be made.
Is wall cavity drying always needed after extraction?

Often, if the leak was sudden. Slow leaks and the repair of the leaking pipe itself may not be covered.
