Comprehensive Drywall Water Damage Repair in Forest Hill

Emergency Drywall Water Repair

Emergency work starts with stopping the water, protecting the room and opening the wall or ceiling where water is trapped.

Wet Drywall Removal

Drywall Leak Repair

The leak behind wet drywall is traced to a pipe, fixture, window or roof so it can be repaired before the wall is closed.

Drywall Drying Services

Drying continues until readings on the drywall and studs match dry walls elsewhere in the house.

Drywall Mold Prevention

After drying, studs and the back of remaining drywall can be cleaned and treated with an antimicrobial before the wall is closed.
