A pipe usually fails inside a wall cavity, which means the visible damage is only a fraction of what's actually happening behind the drywall.
We open the wall cavity carefully, only as far as moisture readings say is necessary, rather than tearing out an entire wall.
We'll walk you through shutoff steps over the phone if you call before we arrive.
Pinpointing the break location prevents unnecessary demolition in the wrong section of wall.
Minimizing removal keeps Follansbee, WV repair costs down without leaving wet insulation behind.
Our Follansbee, WV team works alongside your plumber or one we can refer, so the repair and drying stay coordinated.
