How Frozen Pipe Water Damage Works in Colome

Wet drywall continues to wick water above the visible stain. Early extraction reduces the moisture that can spread through a Colome wall.

1. Remove accessible standing water

   A vacant property can hold water in several places, so crews work through the full wet footprint.

2. Trace moisture through materials

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

3. Expose saturated hidden layers

   The crew assesses whether floor covering can dry in place or must be lifted.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Equipment remains focused on materials that still show elevated moisture.
