How Frozen Pipe Leak Water Removal Works in Pax

Wallboard can hold water behind intact paint. Moisture readings reveal the hidden dampness before it lingers in a closed cavity.

2. Trace damp materials

   Wall cavities beside a split pipe are checked for absorbed water.

3. Expose trapped moisture

   A ceiling section may need controlled removal after overhead water damage.

4. Verify the dry-out

   Drying is completed against measured goals for the materials and local conditions.
