Local Apartment Water Extraction Solutions for Sullivan
Wet Drywall Water Extraction
Drywall that wicked water a few inches can often be dried in place. Drywall that sagged or stayed wet for days is cut out.
Apartment Moisture Inspection
The inspection shows which rooms need extraction, which materials can be dried and where drying equipment should go.
Apartment Leak Water Cleanup
Small leaks that ran for days often soak more than they seem. Moisture meters show how far the water traveled under flooring.
Apartment Flood Water Extraction
Flood water in an apartment spreads under walls into closets and the next room. Extraction follows it room by room until no standing water is left.

After extraction, carpet edges are lifted so the pad can be checked. Pad soaked with dirty water is cut out and replaced.
