Northwood Drywall Water Damage Repair Services
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 Water Stain Removal
Once drywall is dry, water stains are sealed with a stain-blocking primer and painted, so they do not bleed through.
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.

Water trapped in the bottom of a wall cavity is drained through small holes or behind removed baseboards, then the cavity is dried.
