How Frozen Pipe in Attic Water Cleanup Works in Virgilina

1. Remove the pooled water

   The technician uses floor extraction equipment on reachable wet surfaces after the source stops.

2. Trace damp materials

   Insulation and trim are evaluated where thaw water followed a hidden route.

3. Expose trapped moisture

   Wet wallboard that cannot dry in place is taken out before equipment runs.

4. Verify the dry-out

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

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

The first visible stain may arrive after hours of concealed wetting. Call 24/7 so a technician can map moisture and begin the dry-out.

• Stay clear of sagging ceiling material and wet fixtures.
