How Frozen Pipe Water Damage Works in Lignum

A garage leak can wet shared wall materials on the house side. The Lignum assessment looks for migration through trim and wall edges.

1. Remove accessible standing water

   Wet carpet and hard-floor edges get attention first so liquid does not sit against trim.

2. Trace moisture through materials

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

3. Expose saturated hidden layers

   The crew assesses whether floor covering can dry in place or must be lifted.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Technicians compare affected areas with nearby dry materials to judge progress.
