How Frozen Pipe Water Damage Works in Hyder

Closed wall cavities lose moisture slowly without access and airflow. Readings help the crew decide whether an opening is needed.

   Wet carpet and hard-floor edges get attention first so liquid does not sit against trim.

2. Trace moisture through materials

   A ceiling reading helps distinguish a small stain from broader saturation above.

3. Expose saturated hidden layers

   Soaked insulation may be removed to give framing a path to dry.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   A drying plan changes when readings reveal a pocket of trapped water.
