Why Haines Homes Need Special Repair Work

Homes in Haines are built for a rainforest climate with heavy rain and damp air. The typical home sits on a raised foundation, and the pipes run through crawlspaces that can freeze. When a pipe bursts or the river floods, the water soaks the insulation, drywall, and subfloor, and the rainforest air keeps the moisture in longer. Repair work has to dry the structure completely, replace the saturated materials, and seal the vapor barrier so the moisture does not come back.

The Haines Water Damage Repair Process

1. Dry-out and tear-out — We remove the damaged materials after the structure is dry.
2. Inspect the framing — We check the studs, joists, and subfloor for rot or mold.
3. Replace insulation and vapor barrier — Wet insulation is pulled; new material goes in.
4. Install new drywall — New board is hung, mudded, taped, and painted.
5. Finish flooring and trim — New flooring, baseboards, and trim complete the repair.
