How Frozen Pipe Water Damage Works in Herrick

Closed wall cavities lose moisture slowly without access and airflow. Readings help the crew decide whether an opening is needed.

1. Remove accessible standing water

   The crew extracts pooled water from the Herrick room before it reaches more flooring.

2. Trace moisture through materials

   Moisture mapping records how far the thaw leak moved from the split.

3. Expose saturated hidden layers

   A swollen baseboard can conceal a damp wall edge that needs access.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Technicians compare affected areas with nearby dry materials to judge progress.
