How Frozen Pipe in Wall Water Cleanup Works in Raphine

1. Remove the pooled water

   The crew checks safe access and extracts visible pooling across affected rooms.

2. Trace damp materials

   Readings at the ceiling and framing show whether an attic leak moved outward.

3. Expose trapped moisture

   Saturated insulation may be removed when it blocks drying of the cavity.

4. Verify the dry-out

   A technician checks previously hidden areas before ending the equipment run.

• Keep hands away from wet switches and outlets.
• Clear furniture from the affected wall without opening it.
• Record the stain and any pooling water in photographs.
