How Frozen Pipe Leak Water Removal Works in Coltons Point

A thaw leak may keep dripping after the valve closes because water is trapped in the assembly. The crew checks the full path and dries affected materials.

1. Remove the pooled water

   Standing water is drawn off first so it cannot keep feeding porous materials.

2. Trace damp materials

   Meters reveal moisture beyond the stain and help define the drying area.

3. Expose trapped moisture

   Floor layers are assessed for trapped water that surface airflow cannot reach.

4. Verify the dry-out

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