The pros trace water in a wall back to its source, such as a supply line, drain, window, roof or shower, so it can be repaired.

Post-Extraction Wall Sanitization

Treatment is done on dry surfaces, after removal and drying, so it does not trap moisture inside the wall.

Wet Drywall

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