How Frozen Pipe Leak Water Removal Works in Athens

Dry-looking trim does not prove the cavity behind it is dry. Repeat readings show whether the drying plan is working.

1. Remove the pooled water

   The crew checks safe access and extracts visible pooling across affected rooms.

2. Trace damp materials

   Meters reveal moisture beyond the stain and help define the drying area.

3. Expose trapped moisture

   Wet wallboard that cannot dry in place is taken out before equipment runs.

4. Verify the dry-out

   Drying is completed against measured goals for the materials and local conditions.
