How Frozen Pipe Power Outage Cleanup Works in Dalton

1. Remove accessible standing water

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

   Air movers and dehumidifiers work together while the crew tracks material readings.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

• Turn off the main water supply if it is safely accessible.
• Do not touch wet breakers, outlets or appliances.
• Have a plumber inspect the frozen plumbing.
• Keep away from sagging ceilings or soaked floors.
• Record when heat and water service returned.
