How Frozen Pipe Leak Water Removal Works in Ashby

1. Remove the pooled water

2. Trace damp materials

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

3. Expose trapped moisture

   Saturated insulation may be removed when it blocks drying of the cavity.

4. Verify the dry-out
