How Frozen Pipe Water Damage Works in Sheridan

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

1. Remove accessible standing water

   An attic leak may require water removal at the ceiling level and below it.

2. Trace moisture through materials

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

3. Expose saturated hidden layers

   The crew assesses whether floor covering can dry in place or must be lifted.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Equipment remains focused on materials that still show elevated moisture.
