Can drywall dry in place after a Montgomery bathroom leak?
Sometimes, but trapped water or contamination can require removal. The technician decides from moisture readings and the actual water source.

The crew measures adjacent drywall and trim, then extends drying to any affected area. The source may be several feet away.
When should Montgomery callers photograph the damage?
Take pictures before opening materials if the area is safe. Include the upstairs fixture, lower ceiling and any affected contents.
How does a Montgomery crew find hidden moisture?
