How Frozen Pipe Leak Water Removal Works in Alger

A thaw leak may keep dripping after the valve closes because water is trapped in the assembly. The crew checks the full path and dries affected materials.

1. Remove the pooled water

   Standing water is drawn off first so it cannot keep feeding porous materials.

2. Trace damp materials

   Readings at the ceiling and framing show whether an attic leak moved outward.

3. Expose trapped moisture

   A ceiling section may need controlled removal after overhead water damage.

4. Verify the dry-out

   Repeat meter readings show whether affected wood and wallboard are losing moisture.
