How Frozen Pipe Water Damage Works in Sawyer

A garage leak can wet shared wall materials on the house side. The Sawyer assessment looks for migration through trim and wall edges.

1. Remove accessible standing water

   Wet carpet and hard-floor edges get attention first so liquid does not sit against trim.

2. Trace moisture through materials

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

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

   Final checks help show when structural drying is complete.
