How Frozen Pipe Leak Water Removal Works in Athens

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

   Readings at the ceiling and framing show whether an attic leak moved outward.

3. Expose trapped moisture

   Floor layers are assessed for trapped water that surface airflow cannot reach.

4. Verify the dry-out

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