How Frozen Pipe Leak Water Removal Works in Empire

A thaw leak may keep dripping after the valve closes because water is trapped in the assembly. The crew checks the full path and dries affected materials.

1. Remove the pooled water

   Water gathered beneath an attic leak is removed before structural drying begins.

2. Trace damp materials

   Insulation and trim are evaluated where thaw water followed a hidden route.

3. Expose trapped moisture

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

4. Verify the dry-out

   The crew records the progression and adjusts equipment when a layer dries slowly.
