Complete Drywall Water Damage Repair Offerings in Dayton
Wet Drywall Removal
Moisture readings show how high water wicked up the wall. The cut is made just above that line, which keeps the patch as small as possible.
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.
Emergency Drywall Water Repair
Help is available any hour when water is running down a wall or a ceiling is bulging, before the drywall fails.
Drywall Mold Prevention
Drying wet drywall and framing quickly is the main way to limit microbial growth inside walls. Framing that stayed wet can be treated once dry.
