How Frozen Pipe Water Damage Works in San Marcos

A garage leak can wet shared wall materials on the house side. The San Marcos assessment looks for migration through trim and wall edges.

1. Remove accessible standing water

   Wet carpet and hard-floor edges get attention first so liquid does not sit against trim.

2. Trace moisture through materials

   Adjacent rooms are assessed when water has crossed a doorway or cavity.

3. Expose saturated hidden layers

   When wall material traps water, a controlled opening can make drying possible.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Air movers and dehumidifiers work together while the crew tracks material readings.
