Yes, often we can. The key is fast drying and assessment. For localized water damage from a slab leak or appliance overflow, we can often remove and replace only the affected planks, then sand and refinish the area to match. However, if water has wicked under the floor for days, causing cupping or buckling, a full replacement might be necessary. Our team will inspect the extent of the damage and recommend the most cost-effective drywall and floor restoration solution.

After extracting the water and drying the structure, we remove all wet insulation and damaged drywall. We then install new insulation, hang new drywall, apply joint compound, and tape the seams. Finally, we texturing and finish the wall to match your existing surfaces. This ensures your home is properly insulated and visually restored, preventing future mold growth and energy loss.
