The Behind Wall Water Extraction Process in Key Biscayne, FL

Wall Cavity Water Extraction

Water trapped at the bottom of a wall cavity is drained through small holes or a removed baseboard, then extracted before drying starts.

Moisture Barrier Installation

Barrier replacement is done after the cavity is dry, so moisture is not sealed in behind new materials.

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.

Wall Leak Source Identification

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

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.

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.

How fast can emergency behind wall water removal start?

Help is available any hour, and extraction can start as soon as the water is shut off.
