How Frozen Pipe Power Outage Cleanup Works in Placitas

1. Remove accessible standing water

   A vacant property can hold water in several places, so crews work through the full wet footprint.

2. Trace moisture through materials

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

3. Expose saturated hidden layers

   Material removal is documented before the drying equipment is positioned.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Final checks help show when structural drying is complete.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Closed wall cavities lose moisture slowly without access and airflow. Readings help the crew decide whether an opening is needed.

• Turn off the main water supply if it is safely accessible.
• Do not touch wet breakers, outlets or appliances.
• Have a plumber inspect the frozen plumbing.
• Keep away from sagging ceilings or soaked floors.
• Record when heat and water service returned.
