How Frozen Pipe Leak Water Removal Works in Pathfork

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

   A technician tests the subfloor where the puddle crossed flooring seams.

3. Expose trapped moisture

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

4. Verify the dry-out

   Dehumidifiers pull water from the air as air movers work across wet surfaces.
