Moisture meters, thermal cameras, wet vacs, air movers that push air into the wall and dehumidifiers.
Why call pros for water extraction from walls?
They can find the water without guesswork, open the wall only where needed and confirm the cavity is dry.
When is wet drywall and insulation removal required?
