How Frozen Pipe Water Damage Works in Abiquiu

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

   The extraction plan follows the visible flow path across each affected room.

2. Trace moisture through materials

   The technician measures dampness beyond the puddle to find affected building layers.

3. Expose saturated hidden layers

   Wet ceiling material may require removal when it is sagging or holding water.

4. Dry and verify the structure
