SERVPRO of Laurel is on-call 24 hours a day 7 days a week to meet all your water restoration needs. At times the drying process to get your home or business back to preloss condition may require the removal of base boards and drilling of holes along the bottom of the wall to help expedite the drying process. The primary ingredient in drywall is generally gypsum, which will absorb water like a sponge. Even if you only have a few inches of standing water, the drywall can absorb water well up into the walls, where you won't notice it until the drywall dries and warps. To avoid water damage, it is important for air to circulate up into the walls for proper drying. By drilling large holes in the drywall behind the baseboards, the holes will be covered when you replace the baseboards. Call us today at (601) 425-0119
