How Frozen Pipe Water Damage Works in Hillside

Dehumidifiers pull moisture from the air while air movers help wet surfaces release it. The crew tracks readings as drying progresses.

1. Remove accessible standing water

   An attic leak may require water removal at the ceiling level and below it.

2. Trace moisture through materials

   Floor finishes may cover wet underlayment, so the crew checks below the surface.

3. Expose saturated hidden layers

   Wet ceiling material may require removal when it is sagging or holding water.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   A drying plan changes when readings reveal a pocket of trapped water.
