For frozen pipe power outage cleanup, technicians check the water path and affected building layers. The Palestine crew removes accessible water and begins measured drying.
Without heat during an outage, pipes in exterior walls, attics and garages can freeze. A thaw may uncover splits at different times, while restored power adds electrical hazards in wet rooms. Water damage can keep spreading after the lights come back on.
The first priority is a safe shutoff when water is flowing. Then a pipe professional fixes the cause and a local crew measures the remaining dampness.
