When your home suffers water damage from a leak or a flood, it can be overwhelming to think about the damage and expenses incurred. Repairing the walls is a major part of cleaning up water damage and one that you shouldn’t put off. Wet walls can crumble, harbor mold and mildew, and even allow the moisture to spread to your studs and the structure of your home.
If your drywall is wet, you will probably have to have all the wet, damaged areas removed. Once the soggy section is out and your home has been cleaned, dried, and treated for mold and mildew, then a professional can begin hanging new material.
Repairing drywall often consists of:
The cleaning of wet drywall means doing more than just blotting up visual moisture. Because it absorbs the moisture it will need to be treated for mold and mildew prevention and dried professionally using heat and forced air. The cleaning and drying must be done prior to installing a new piece.
When you have wet drywall, you need expert help and professional, specialized equipment to repair it. Some types of equipment experts might use include:
When a technician arrives, he or she may start by using a moisture meter to determine where the drywall is wet and look for moisture in areas you might not be able to see. They will also use special tools to keep the air in your house moving to create ideal conditions for the area to dry.
These can include dehumidifiers and air movers. If there is an odor in your property, or there is a risk of mold formation or other particles in the air, a professional might also use an air scrubber to clean the air. The expert service is available in cities like Columbus, Cleveland, Lewis Center and nearby areas.
