Removing water-damaged drywall may seem straightforward, but SERVPRO approaches this task with careful consideration. We meticulously manage dust and ensure a precise, straight cut. In properties with slab construction, it's crucial to keep the new drywall slightly elevated from the concrete. This precaution prevents the drywall from absorbing moisture from the concrete, which could lead to future mold growth. Typically, drywall is available in 4x8 foot sheets, with a standard height of 4 feet. When performing a flood cut, SERVPRO strategically cuts the drywall to 2 feet and an additional half-inch — making it 2 feet and 1/2 inch in total. This technique allows for splitting the sheet in half to a height of 2 feet, and when installed, it maintains a 1/2 inch gap above the concrete floor, ensuring safety and durability

If you notice that your floors begin to warp, it is a sign that your property is suffering from a water damage event. 

You can count on our SERVPRO of Santa Barbara team to be there to assist you with all your water damage cleanup and restoration needs! Once the damage has been mitigated, we will repair the affected areas.
