A pipe leaking inside a wall in Black Mountain can soak the floor and the room next door. Local restoration pros serve Black Mountain and nearby Montreat, Swannanoa and Fairview, with help around the clock.

Comprehensive Behind Wall Water Extraction Offered in Black Mountain

Emergency Behind Wall Water Removal

Help is available any hour when water is pouring from a wall or a pipe has burst inside it.

A meter shows exactly how high the water wicked up the drywall, so the cut is made only where it is needed.

Moisture meters and thermal cameras show wet areas inside a wall without opening it, mapping how far water spread from the leak.
