How Frozen Pipe Leak Water Removal Works in Athol

   Water gathered beneath an attic leak is removed before structural drying begins.

2. Trace damp materials

   Wall cavities beside a split pipe are checked for absorbed water.

3. Expose trapped moisture

   A damaged carpet pad can be lifted so the underlying floor can dry.

4. Verify the dry-out

   The crew records the progression and adjusts equipment when a layer dries slowly.
