Drywall Water Damage Repair Services in Indian River Estates
Drywall Drying Services
Small holes near the base of the wall let dry air reach the cavity, drying the studs and back of the drywall.
Drywall Mold Prevention
Drywall paper is a food source for mold when it stays damp, so walls are dried until readings are normal.
Drywall Water Stain Removal
Once drywall is dry, water stains are sealed with a stain-blocking primer and painted, so they do not bleed through.
Drywall Water Extraction
Water trapped in the bottom of a wall cavity is drained through small holes or behind removed baseboards, then the cavity is dried.
Wet Drywall Removal
Wet insulation behind removed drywall is pulled out too, since it holds water against the studs and keeps the cavity damp.
Symptoms Requiring Drywall Water Damage Repair in Indian River Estates

Warped or Buckled Drywall
