How Frozen Pipe Leak Water Removal Works in San Francisco

Dry-looking trim does not prove the cavity behind it is dry. Repeat readings show whether the drying plan is working.

1. Remove the pooled water

   The technician uses floor extraction equipment on reachable wet surfaces after the source stops.

2. Trace damp materials

   Insulation and trim are evaluated where thaw water followed a hidden route.

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.
