Complete Drywall Water Damage Repair Offerings in University Place

Small holes near the base of the wall let dry air reach the cavity, drying the studs and back of the drywall.

Wet Drywall Removal

Wet insulation behind removed drywall is pulled out too, since it holds water against the studs and keeps the cavity damp.

Emergency Drywall Water Repair

Fast action can mean drying drywall in place instead of replacing it, which keeps repairs smaller.
