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.
