How Frozen Pipe Power Outage Cleanup Works in Soquel

1. Remove accessible standing water

   The crew extracts pooled water from the Soquel room before it reaches more flooring.

2. Trace moisture through materials

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

3. Expose saturated hidden layers

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

4. Dry and verify the structure

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

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Closed wall cavities lose moisture slowly without access and airflow. Readings help the crew decide whether an opening is needed.

• Turn off the main water supply if it is safely accessible.
• Do not touch wet breakers, outlets or appliances.
• Have a plumber inspect the frozen plumbing.
• Keep away from sagging ceilings or soaked floors.
• Record when heat and water service returned.
