Common Behind Wall Water Extraction Questions Answered

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.

Can hidden water damage in walls affect indoor air?

Is wet wall removal covered by homeowners insurance?

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.
