Water Damage Strip-Out and Wall Cavity Drying Experts
When water enters wall cavities, moisture can remain trapped behind skirting boards, plasterboard and insulation. If left untreated, hidden moisture can contribute to mould growth, odours and damage to building materials.
Our team may perform:
● Water extraction
● Skirting board removal
● Wall cavity inspection
● Moisture mapping
● Structural drying
● Mould remediation
● Plasterboard removal where required
● Repainting and restoration
