How Frozen Pipe Water Damage Works in Port Allegany

2. Trace moisture through materials

   Adjacent rooms are assessed when water has crossed a doorway or cavity.

3. Expose saturated hidden layers

   Soaked insulation may be removed to give framing a path to dry.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Air movers and dehumidifiers work together while the crew tracks material readings.
