How Frozen Pipe In Attic Cleanup Works in Gardiner

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

   Wet ceiling material may require removal when it is sagging or holding water.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   A drying plan changes when readings reveal a pocket of trapped water.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

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

• Stay out from under any bowed or dripping ceiling.
• Do not use wet ceiling lights or fans.
• Turn off the supply if the shutoff is safely accessible.
• Have a plumber address the attic pipe.
• Move dry belongings away from the drip path.
