How Frozen Pipe Water Damage Works in Grethel

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

1. Remove accessible standing water

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

2. Trace moisture through materials

   Floor finishes may cover wet underlayment, so the crew checks below the surface.

3. Expose saturated hidden layers

   The crew assesses whether floor covering can dry in place or must be lifted.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Daily measurements show whether the wet layer is releasing moisture.
