How Frozen Pipe Water Damage Works in Carrizozo

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

1. Remove accessible standing water

   For a crawl space loss, technicians check low areas where water collected beneath the home.

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

   Air movers and dehumidifiers work together while the crew tracks material readings.
