How Frozen Pipe Flood Water Removal Works in Berkeley

1. Remove the standing water

   Pumps clear deeper water before extraction tools address the remaining wet floor.

2. Map the moisture

   Hidden cavities are assessed where the water path suggests intrusion.

3. Open what holds water

   Contaminated porous materials often require careful removal.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers and dehumidifiers work together while readings are repeated.
