Complete Behind Wall Water Extraction Solutions for Fate
Post-Extraction Wall Sanitization
After drying, framing and the back of drywall can be cleaned and treated with an antimicrobial where they stayed wet.
Wall Leak Source Identification
Leak tracing uses readings, thermal images and the pattern of the stain to find where water enters the wall.
Wet Drywall
A meter shows exactly how high the water wicked up the drywall, so the cut is made only where it is needed.
Wall Cavity Water Extraction
Water trapped at the bottom of a wall cavity is drained through small holes or a removed baseboard, then extracted before drying starts.
Moisture Barrier Installation
Some exterior walls have a plastic vapor barrier behind the drywall. After drying, a damaged barrier is replaced so the wall works as designed.
