How Frozen Pipe Leak Water Removal Works in Forest Hill

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials. The crew removes water and sets drying equipment after assessing the affected area.

   Wall cavities beside a split pipe are checked for absorbed water.

3. Expose trapped moisture

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

4. Verify the dry-out

   Repeat meter readings show whether affected wood and wallboard are losing moisture.
