How Frozen Pipe Water Damage Works in Stuarts Draft

A frozen pipe leak may soak carpet padding even when the carpet top feels nearly dry. The technician checks beneath the surface before choosing drying steps.

1. Remove accessible standing water

3. Expose saturated hidden layers

   Material removal is documented before the drying equipment is positioned.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Final checks help show when structural drying is complete.
