How Frozen Pipe Leak Water Removal Works in Norfolk

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

   Standing water is drawn off first so it cannot keep feeding porous materials.

2. Trace damp materials

   Wall cavities beside a split pipe are checked for absorbed water.

3. Expose trapped moisture

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

4. Verify the dry-out

   The crew records the progression and adjusts equipment when a layer dries slowly.
