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.
Insulation and drywall removal is targeted, and we coordinate directly with a licensed plumber for the actual pipe repair.
Stopping the water source is priority one before any extraction begins.
Pinpointing the break location prevents unnecessary demolition in the wrong section of wall.
Drywall and insulation come out only where moisture readings confirm saturation, not the entire wall.
