Before a Frozen Line Begins Leaking

Turn off fixtures and note the water meter reading. Movement with no known use can suggest a hidden leak, which a plumber should assess.
How Frozen Pipe in Wall Water Cleanup Works in Fulton
-
Remove the pooled water
Standing water is drawn off first so it cannot keep feeding porous materials.
-
Trace damp materials
Meters reveal moisture beyond the stain and help define the drying area.
-
Expose trapped moisture
Wet wallboard that cannot dry in place is taken out before equipment runs.
-
Verify the dry-out
A technician checks previously hidden areas before ending the equipment run.
Call before water reaches the subfloor (888) 535-8182
What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Standing water spreads across seams and into flooring layers. Extraction starts the process, then controlled airflow handles absorbed moisture.
- Turn off the main supply if the wall is leaking.
- Have a plumber handle the damaged pipe inside the wall.
- Keep hands away from wet switches and outlets.
- Clear furniture from the affected wall without opening it.
- Record the stain and any pooling water in photographs.
