How Frozen Pipe Water Damage Works in Alum Bridge

A garage leak can wet shared wall materials on the house side. The Alum Bridge assessment looks for migration through trim and wall edges.

1. Remove accessible standing water

   An attic leak may require water removal at the ceiling level and below it.

   Wall corners and baseboards are checked because water can wick upward.

3. Expose saturated hidden layers

   Material removal is documented before the drying equipment is positioned.

4. Dry and verify the structure

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