How Frozen Pipe Water Damage Works in Lafferty

Wet drywall continues to wick water above the visible stain. Early extraction reduces the moisture that can spread through a Lafferty wall.

1. Remove accessible standing water

   An attic leak may require water removal at the ceiling level and below it.

2. Trace moisture through materials

   Floor finishes may cover wet underlayment, so the crew checks below the surface.

3. Expose saturated hidden layers

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

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Technicians compare affected areas with nearby dry materials to judge progress.
