Frequently Asked Questions About Behind Wall Water Extraction in Sansom Park
Does water extraction require cutting into drywall?
Not always. Small holes or removed baseboards are often enough. Larger cuts are made only where drywall is ruined.
Why is post-extraction wall sanitization important?
Framing that stayed wet, or was reached by drain water, can be cleaned and treated so odors and mold do not develop.
Is the source of a wall leak identified?
Yes. The pros trace the water to a pipe, fixture, window or roof leak and note it so the right repair can be made.
Is wet wall removal covered by homeowners insurance?
Often, if the leak was sudden. Slow leaks and the repair of the leaking pipe itself may not be covered.
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.
