Water damage repair involves removing and replacing damaged drywall, insulation, and other materials, and then restoring the area to its original condition. This process typically involves using a moisture meter to detect the extent of the damage, and then cutting out the damaged drywall with a utility knife. We use a variety of materials, including USG's Sheetrock brand drywall and Owens Corning's 703 insulation.

Assessment and Damage Detection — We begin by using a moisture meter to detect the extent of the water damage, and then assess the area to determine the best course of action. This may involve cutting out small sections of drywall to inspect the insulation and framing.
Removal of Damaged Materials — Next, we remove the damaged drywall, insulation, and other materials, taking care to contain the area to prevent further damage. We use a HEPA-filter vacuum to clean up any debris or dust.
Drying and Dehumidification — After the damaged materials have been removed, we use a combination of fans and dehumidifiers to dry out the area, and then apply a mold-killing solution to prevent any further growth.
Reinstallation of New Materials — Finally, we reinstall new drywall, insulation, and other materials, ensuring that the area is restored to its original condition. We use a level and a straightedge to ensure that the new drywall is properly aligned and secured.
