About Plaster Wall Water Damage Repair
Older homes in Des Plaines, Illinois frequently feature historic lath and plaster walls rather than modern drywall. When water penetrates plaster, the wet wooden lath strips swell, popping plaster keys away from the wood and causing entire wall surfaces to detach and buckle. Traditional restoration crews often tear out irreplaceable historic plaster unnecessarily. Our technicians specialize in delicate plaster preservation, applying controlled low-humidity dehumidification and specialized bracing to draw water out of thick lime plaster without breaking delicate structural keys.

Plaster Wall Water Damage Repair Questions
Can wet plaster in an older Des Plaines, Illinois home really be saved?
Yes, if supported before keys break and dried slowly with desiccant equipment. Call (800) 692-7103 for an assessment.
Why can't you dry plaster with hot fast air?
Fast drying causes plaster to shrink and crack violently. We use controlled low-vapor dehumidification. Call (800) 692-7103 to learn more.
How do you check if lath behind the plaster is dry?
We use non-destructive capacitance moisture meters calibrated for plaster densities. Call (800) 692-7103 for testing.

A storm flooded our finished basement with three inches of muddy water. Their team pumped out the pooling water, removed saturated carpet padding, and set up five commercial dehumidifiers. The daily moisture logs gave our insurance adjuster exactly what was needed to approve our claim.

When our commercial fire sprinkler head went off by mistake in our office suite, black pipe water soaked eight cubicles. Their technicians staged containment barriers, extracted water from the carpet tiles, and ran quiet desiccant units so our team was back working two days later.
