How Frozen Pipe Leak Water Removal Works in Sandwich

Wet insulation blocks easy airflow through a wall or ceiling. The technician decides what must be removed to dry the surrounding structure.

1. Remove the pooled water

   Water gathered beneath an attic leak is removed before structural drying begins.

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

   A technician checks previously hidden areas before ending the equipment run.

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
