Locate the main shutoff before flow returns. A plumber can address the blockage and any split.

Turn off all fixtures and water-using appliances, then note the meter reading. Movement during no-use may suggest a leak.

How Frozen Crawl Space Pipe Cleanup Works in Kouts

1. Remove accessible standing water

   For a crawl space loss, technicians check low areas where water collected beneath the home.

2. Trace moisture through materials

   Floor finishes may cover wet underlayment, so the crew checks below the surface.

3. Expose saturated hidden layers

   A swollen baseboard can conceal a damp wall edge that needs access.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Daily measurements show whether the wet layer is releasing moisture.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

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

• Do not enter a flooded crawl space with electrical hazards.
• Shut off water from a dry, accessible valve.
• Have a plumber handle the frozen pipe.
• Keep children and pets away from the opening.
• Photograph visible pooling from a safe position.
