Comprehensive Behind Wall Water Extraction Offered in East Brunswick
Post-Extraction Wall Sanitization
Treatment is done on dry surfaces, after removal and drying, so it does not trap moisture inside the wall.
Wall Leak Source Identification
Finding the source matters because drying is wasted if the wall keeps getting wet. The source is noted for your plumber or roofer.
Interior Wall Drying Services
Wall cavity drying is checked with readings each day until studs, plates and drywall return to normal levels.
Moisture Barrier Installation
A vapor barrier that trapped water against the studs is removed during drying, and a new one is installed only after readings are normal.
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.
How to Tell If You Need Behind Wall Water Extraction in East Brunswick
Increased Humidity in Home
A home that feels more humid than usual can have wet materials inside the walls.
Paint or Wallpaper Blistering

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