Wall Cavity Drying in West Forks, ME

Wall Cavity Drying in West Forks, ME

Water inside a wall does not dry because the room is dry. It sits in the cavity against framing and insulation, and left alone it grows mold behind paint that looks perfectly fine.

West Forks, ME Water Extraction dries cavities across West Forks, ME without demolishing the wall wherever possible. Small holes drilled in the toe kick or behind the baseboard allow air injection directly into the void, and negative air systems pull moist air out through the same access. Where insulation is saturated it comes out, since wet fiberglass holds water indefinitely and stops the cavity drying at all.

Flood cuts get made when material below a line is unsalvageable, typically at 12 or 24 inches so the repair lands on a standard drywall dimension.

We measure inside the cavity rather than at the surface. A wall reading dry on the outside can hold framing well above 16 percent moisture content, which is enough to support growth.
