How Frozen Pipe Water Damage Works in Salisbury

Dehumidifiers pull moisture from the air while air movers help wet surfaces release it. The crew tracks readings as drying progresses.

1. Remove accessible standing water

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

2. Trace moisture through materials

   Wall corners and baseboards are checked because water can wick upward.

3. Expose saturated hidden layers

   Wet ceiling material may require removal when it is sagging or holding water.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Equipment remains focused on materials that still show elevated moisture.
