How Frozen Pipe Leak Water Removal Works in Dewar

Wallboard can hold water behind intact paint. Moisture readings reveal the hidden dampness before it lingers in a closed cavity.

1. Remove the pooled water

   Standing water is drawn off first so it cannot keep feeding porous materials.

2. Trace damp materials

   Readings at the ceiling and framing show whether an attic leak moved outward.

3. Expose trapped moisture

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

4. Verify the dry-out

   Repeat meter readings show whether affected wood and wallboard are losing moisture.
