How Frozen Pipe Water Damage Works in Crapo

Subflooring may stay damp under vinyl or laminate. Technicians check the layer below the finish instead of judging by appearance alone.

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

   When wall material traps water, a controlled opening can make drying possible.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Daily measurements show whether the wet layer is releasing moisture.
