How Frozen Pipe Water Damage Works in Motley

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

1. Remove accessible standing water

2. Trace moisture through materials

   Wall corners and baseboards are checked because water can wick upward.

3. Expose saturated hidden layers

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

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Final checks help show when structural drying is complete.
