How Frozen Pipe Water Damage Works in Northampton

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

   A vacant property can hold water in several places, so crews work through the full wet footprint.

2. Trace moisture through materials

   A ceiling reading helps distinguish a small stain from broader saturation above.

3. Expose saturated hidden layers

   Material removal is documented before the drying equipment is positioned.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Final checks help show when structural drying is complete.
