Q: Do walls have to be removed to rewire a house?

• <div><p>In most cases, walls don&rsquo;t have to be removed to rewire a house. Much of the new wiring can be run through attics and crawlspaces, and then electricians often use a tool called fish tape to pull the cables through the walls via cut access points that can be easily patched up without requiring any major demo work.</p></div>

• <div><p>Any level over 17% moisture should be replaced, as this could be a sign that the drywall is too compromised to be considered safe. A contractor or water restoration provider can come out and use a moisture meter to check the moisture level in your drywall. </p><p>If after a visual inspection you&rsquo;re still unsure about if your drywall is salvageable, a professional reading is the next best option.</p></div>

Excellent work at removing our mold problem. The only thing that we were unaware of is that if they need to cut out drywall, they do not repair it so we had to hire another contractor but overall great work.

He did an excellent job. It was very good. It wasn't much because it was actually redoing some drywall on the lower half. I have a split level so it was drywall over block, so it was just a small area.
