Wood Rot Repair
Almost every house in Utah contains at least some wood components, and that makes perfect sense—wood is beautiful, renewable, easy to work with, durable, long-lasting and widely available. It does, however, have one major weakness: wood rot. Since the rot decays and destroys certain parts of the wood fibers (cellulose or lignin, depending on the type of wood rot), it causes the material to break down, soften and crumble apart. Needless to say, that can cause serious structural damage if it's left unchecked, and it can also travel to other parts of your house. When it comes to wood rot, the best solution for Salt Lake, Utah and Wasatch Counties water damage repair is to remove the affected timber and replace it with new, strong, undamaged wood. If the damage is minor or it would be difficult to remove the affected timber, wood rot repair can sometimes be handled by scraping away the rotten material and filling the hole with epoxy or wood putty.
Water Damaged Drywall Replacement
Drywall is essentially a panel of a soft, sulfate mineral called gypsum, with thick sheets of back and face paper. It's resistant to a splash or sprinkle of moisture here and there, but if it's been soaking in standing water or has had water seep through it, it definitely needs to be replaced. It's not always necessary to tear out all the walls in the room and redo them from scratch, though. We can replace one or two panels or even cut the damaged section out from wall stud to wall stud and patch in a new piece of drywall, then paint over it so the repaired area is invisible.
