How Frozen Pipe Flood Cleanup Works in Rochert

1. Remove standing water

   The technician begins with the rooms holding the most water. Electrical hazards are addressed before wet-room access.

2. Map moisture

   A damp ceiling may reveal water from a room above. Lower ceilings may carry water from upstairs.

3. Remove soaked material

   Carpet pad that cannot be dried safely may need to come out. Removal gives remaining wet layers a path to dry.

4. Dry and verify

   Final checks document the remaining structure after extraction. Records can explain the work to an insurer.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

• Shut the main valve before thawing a suspect section if safe.
• Stay out of water near electrical equipment.
• Move dry belongings away from the wet area if safe.
• Photograph wet rooms and belongings.
