How Frozen Pipe Water Damage Works in Mc Kenzie

A frozen pipe leak may soak carpet padding even when the carpet top feels nearly dry. The technician checks beneath the surface before choosing drying steps.

1. Remove accessible standing water

   The extraction plan follows the visible flow path across each affected room.

2. Trace moisture through materials

   Floor finishes may cover wet underlayment, so the crew checks below the surface.

3. Expose saturated hidden layers

   Soaked insulation may be removed to give framing a path to dry.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   A drying plan changes when readings reveal a pocket of trapped water.
