How Frozen Pipe Flood Water Removal Works in Issue

1. Remove the standing water

   A crew starts with the visible pool, using equipment suited to its depth.

2. Map the moisture

   The crew traces saturation through carpet, pad and underlying layers.

3. Open what holds water

   Cabinet toe kicks may need access so trapped moisture can escape.

4. Dry and verify

   The crew records progress until affected materials meet the drying plan.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Water from sewage or outdoors changes the handling of porous materials. Contaminated pieces often need removal before clean drying can proceed.

• Shut off the supply and never use an open flame on the pipe.
• Avoid water near electrical equipment.
• Keep children and pets clear.
• Move small belongings to dry ground if safe.
• Photograph the damage before moving items.
