How Frozen Pipe Leak Water Removal Works in Ferrum

An attic spill can wet the ceiling from above. Assessing the insulation and framing helps prevent a missed damp pocket.

1. Remove the pooled water

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

2. Trace damp materials

   Insulation and trim are evaluated where thaw water followed a hidden route.

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.
