How Frozen Pipe Water Damage Works in Frankenmuth

2. Trace moisture through materials

   Adjacent rooms are assessed when water has crossed a doorway or cavity.

3. Expose saturated hidden layers

   The crew assesses whether floor covering can dry in place or must be lifted.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Technicians compare affected areas with nearby dry materials to judge progress.
