How Frozen Garage Pipe Water Cleanup Works in Caballo

1. Remove accessible standing water

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

2. Trace moisture through materials

   Wall corners and baseboards are checked because water can wick upward.

3. Expose saturated hidden layers

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

4. Dry and verify the structure

   A drying plan changes when readings reveal a pocket of trapped water.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

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

• Shut off the water from a safe location.
• Leave wet tools and outlets untouched.
• Ask a plumber to handle the frozen garage line.
• Move dry items away from water if the floor is safe.
• Keep the interior door closed if water is moving toward it.
