How Frozen Pipe Leak Water Removal Works in Richmond

2. Trace damp materials

   Meters reveal moisture beyond the stain and help define the drying area.

3. Expose trapped moisture

   Wet wallboard that cannot dry in place is taken out before equipment runs.

4. Verify the dry-out

   Drying is completed against measured goals for the materials and local conditions.
