Room which has flooring and base of walls removed with two large dehumidifiers in the room to dry. Building materials may need to be removed if severely damaged during a water intrusion. Materials such as flooring, drywall & insulation for example.

Unwanted water intrusion to your home or property is not only inconvenient, it can be severely damaging. It may seem like a simple solution to remedy but it's important to know that even a minor water damage can be significant. The flooring may only be the start of the materials that have been affected. Here are some other areas of a property that can be affected and will need to be properly mitigated during the drying process.

  • baseboard, commonly made of wood
  • Interior section of drywall
  • Insulation inside wall cavity
  • Wall framing
  • Floor joists
