Comprehensive Behind Wall Water Extraction Offered in Hazelwood

Emergency Behind Wall Water Removal

Emergency removal starts with shutting off the water, then opening the wall where needed and extracting water from the cavity and floor.

Wall Leak Source Identification

Leak tracing uses readings, thermal images and the pattern of the stain to find where water enters the wall.

Wet Drywall

Drywall that is soft, crumbling or soaked above the floor is cut out above the wet line so the cavity behind it can dry.

Interior Wall Drying Services

Directed drying often saves drywall that would otherwise be cut out, as long as the water was clean and caught early.

Post-Extraction Wall Sanitization

If the water came from a drain or sewer line, the cavity is cleaned and disinfected before it is closed up.

Warning Signs You Need Behind Wall Water Extraction

Unexplained Water Stains

A stain on a wall with no obvious source usually means water is coming from inside the wall or above it.

A wall that feels cool and damp to the touch may have wet insulation or drywall behind it.

Soft Spots When Pressing Wall

Drywall that gives when pressed has been weakened by water and may need to be cut out.

What Causes Water Behind Walls in Hazelwood?

Appliance Supply Line Leaks

Supply lines for refrigerators, washers and dishwashers can leak into the wall behind them.

Overflow From Adjacent Rooms

Water from an overflowing tub or burst line in the next room runs under the wall into its cavity.

Foundation Cracks and Seepage

Groundwater seeping through foundation cracks can wet the bottom of lower-level walls.

Window or Door Seal Failure

Worn caulk and flashing around windows and doors let rain into the wall during storms.

Both Residential & Commercial Behind Wall Water Extraction in Hazelwood

In apartments and condos, a leak in one wall can reach the unit next door. Both sides of a shared wall are checked and dried, with records for each.
