How Frozen Pipe Water Damage Works in Paw Paw

An attic ceiling can trap water over insulation. A crew checks whether that material can dry or needs removal to expose the framing.

1. Remove accessible standing water

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

2. Trace moisture through materials

   Wall corners and baseboards are checked because water can wick upward.

3. Expose saturated hidden layers

   When wall material traps water, a controlled opening can make drying possible.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Daily measurements show whether the wet layer is releasing moisture.
