Drywall Water Damage Repair Services in Healdsburg
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.
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 Leak Repair
Once the leak is fixed and the cavity is dry, new drywall is hung, taped and finished to match the wall.
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.
