How Frozen Pipe Leak Water Removal Works in Tofte

A puddle can feed moisture into carpet backing and wood. Prompt extraction lowers the water left to soak deeper layers.

1. Remove the pooled water

   A wet carpet may need repeated passes to pull water from the backing and pad.

2. Trace damp materials

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

3. Expose trapped moisture

   Floor layers are assessed for trapped water that surface airflow cannot reach.

4. Verify the dry-out

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