A pipe usually fails inside a wall cavity, which means the visible damage is only a fraction of what's actually happening behind the drywall.
We open the wall cavity carefully, only as far as moisture readings say is necessary, rather than tearing out an entire wall.
Stopping the water source is priority one before any extraction begins.
Our Elmore, MN crews trace pressure loss to identify the failure point before opening drywall.
Drywall and insulation come out only where moisture readings confirm saturation, not the entire wall.
Our Elmore, MN team works alongside your plumber or one we can refer, so the repair and drying stay coordinated.
