How Frozen Pipe Leak Water Removal Works in Athens

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials. The crew removes water and sets drying equipment after assessing the affected area.

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

   Wet wallboard that cannot dry in place is taken out before equipment runs.

4. Verify the dry-out

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