How Frozen Pipe Water Damage Works in Ducktown

Wet drywall continues to wick water above the visible stain. Early extraction reduces the moisture that can spread through a Ducktown wall.

1. Remove accessible standing water

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

2. Trace moisture through materials

   Floor finishes may cover wet underlayment, so the crew checks below the surface.

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

   A drying plan changes when readings reveal a pocket of trapped water.
