How Frozen Pipe Water Damage Works in Franklin

Dehumidifiers pull moisture from the air while air movers help wet surfaces release it. The crew tracks readings as drying progresses.

1. Remove accessible standing water

   An attic leak may require water removal at the ceiling level and below it.

2. Trace moisture through materials

   Adjacent rooms are assessed when water has crossed a doorway or cavity.

3. Expose saturated hidden layers

   Soaked insulation may be removed to give framing a path to dry.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Daily measurements show whether the wet layer is releasing moisture.
