How Frozen Pipe Leak Water Removal Works in Mears

Wet insulation blocks easy airflow through a wall or ceiling. The technician decides what must be removed to dry the surrounding structure.

1. Remove the pooled water

2. Trace damp materials

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

3. Expose trapped moisture

   The technician opens wet materials only where needed to reach retained water.

4. Verify the dry-out

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