How Frozen Pipe Water Damage Works in Craftsbury

Water that remained in an empty home may have affected several rooms. The cleanup scope follows the measured damage, not just the first puddle.

2. Trace moisture through materials

   The technician measures dampness beyond the puddle to find affected building layers.

3. Expose saturated hidden layers

   Material removal is documented before the drying equipment is positioned.

4. Dry and verify the structure
