How Frozen Pipe Water Damage Works in Athens

An attic ceiling can trap water over insulation. A crew checks whether that material can dry or needs removal to expose the framing.

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

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

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

   Final checks help show when structural drying is complete.
