How Frozen Pipe Water Damage Works in Rutherford College

2. Trace moisture through materials

   A ceiling reading helps distinguish a small stain from broader saturation above.

3. Expose saturated hidden layers

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

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Equipment remains focused on materials that still show elevated moisture.
