How Frozen Pipe Water Damage Works in Gunnison

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

   For a crawl space loss, technicians check low areas where water collected beneath the home.

2. Trace moisture through materials

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

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

   Equipment remains focused on materials that still show elevated moisture.

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

• Photograph any opened wet cavity
