How Frozen Pipe Leak Water Removal Works in Hettick

A thaw leak may keep dripping after the valve closes because water is trapped in the assembly. The crew checks the full path and dries affected materials.

1. Remove the pooled water

   Water gathered beneath an attic leak is removed before structural drying begins.

2. Trace damp materials

   Readings at the ceiling and framing show whether an attic leak moved outward.

3. Expose trapped moisture

   Floor layers are assessed for trapped water that surface airflow cannot reach.

4. Verify the dry-out

   A technician checks previously hidden areas before ending the equipment run.
