How Frozen Pipe Water Damage Works in Alexis

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials. Rapid water removal and controlled drying lower the time those materials stay damp.

1. Remove accessible standing water

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

2. Trace moisture through materials

   Floor finishes may cover wet underlayment, so the crew checks below the surface.

3. Expose saturated hidden layers

   Soaked insulation may be removed to give framing a path to dry.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Equipment remains focused on materials that still show elevated moisture.
