How Frozen Pipe Water Damage Works in Cortland

Dehumidifiers pull moisture from the air while air movers help wet surfaces release it. The crew tracks readings as drying progresses.

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

   Moisture mapping records how far the thaw leak moved from the split.

3. Expose saturated hidden layers

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

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Final checks help show when structural drying is complete.
