How Vacant Home Frozen Pipe Cleanup Works in Greig

1. Remove accessible standing water

   The crew extracts pooled water from the Greig room before it reaches more flooring.

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

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

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.

• Do not enter rooms with standing water and electrical hazards.
• Shut off the main supply from a safe position.
• Have a plumber assess all frozen pipe sections.
• Photograph each affected room before moving contents.
• Notify the property owner and insurer promptly.
