How Frozen Pipe Leak Water Removal Works in Fortine

Wet insulation blocks easy airflow through a wall or ceiling. The technician decides what must be removed to dry the surrounding structure.

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

   Floor layers are assessed for trapped water that surface airflow cannot reach.

4. Verify the dry-out

   A technician checks previously hidden areas before ending the equipment run.
