How Frozen Pipe Leak Water Removal Works in Alma

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

   The technician uses floor extraction equipment on reachable wet surfaces after the source stops.

2. Trace damp materials

   The team documents wet materials in adjoining rooms, not just the first room.

3. Expose trapped moisture

   Saturated insulation may be removed when it blocks drying of the cavity.

4. Verify the dry-out

   Repeat meter readings show whether affected wood and wallboard are losing moisture.
