Water Damage in Woodland Hills Home - SERVPRO of Woodland Hills

When a water damage occurs often moisture causes baseboard separation from walls. This is an indication that there could be water damage affecting your wall and the wall cavity inside. Sometimes the water damage loss is caused by broken pipes, condensation from A/C, broken appliance lines, etc.
In most water losses, saturated drywall becomes soft and no longer holds the nails in place. When this occurs, the baseboards are removed from the wall and inspected for mold growth then left off to dry. SERVPRO might drill holes in the drywall under the baseboard line or, drywall may be cut to remove the affected drywall and expose the framing. The framing will then be properly dried using specialty air movers before the drywall is replaced.
