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 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.
