How Frozen Crawl Space Pipe Cleanup Works in Caddo

1. Remove accessible standing water

   The crew extracts pooled water from the Caddo room before it reaches more flooring.

2. Trace moisture through materials

   Moisture mapping records how far the thaw leak moved from the split.

3. Expose saturated hidden layers

   A swollen baseboard can conceal a damp wall edge that needs access.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Equipment remains focused on materials that still show elevated moisture.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Dehumidifiers pull moisture from the air while air movers help wet surfaces release it. The crew tracks readings as drying progresses.

• Do not enter a flooded crawl space with electrical hazards.
• Shut off water from a dry, accessible valve.
• Have a plumber handle the frozen pipe.
• Keep children and pets away from the opening.
• Photograph visible pooling from a safe position.
