How Frozen Pipe Water Damage Works in Ballico

An attic ceiling can trap water over insulation. A crew checks whether that material can dry or needs removal to expose the framing.

1. Remove accessible standing water

   A vacant property can hold water in several places, so crews work through the full wet footprint.

2. Trace moisture through materials

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

3. Expose saturated hidden layers

   Material removal is documented before the drying equipment is positioned.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Technicians compare affected areas with nearby dry materials to judge progress.
