How Frozen Pipe Leak Water Removal Works in Rio Grande

Dry-looking trim does not prove the cavity behind it is dry. Repeat readings show whether the drying plan is working.

1. Remove the pooled water

   Standing water is drawn off first so it cannot keep feeding porous materials.

2. Trace damp materials

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

3. Expose trapped moisture

   The technician opens wet materials only where needed to reach retained water.

4. Verify the dry-out

   Final moisture notes document the condition before rebuild work is considered.
