How Frozen Pipe Flood Water Removal Works in Highmore

1. Remove the standing water

   Extraction limits how much additional water enters porous finishes.

2. Map the moisture

   Recorded measurements set a baseline for the dry-out.

3. Open what holds water

   Insulation that cannot dry safely is taken out before equipment runs.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers and dehumidifiers work together while readings are repeated.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

A dry-looking floor may hide a wet pad underneath. Moisture readings help reveal that hidden water before it lingers.

• Shut off the supply and never use an open flame on the pipe.
• Avoid water near electrical equipment.
• Keep children and pets clear.
• Move small belongings to dry ground if safe.
• Photograph the damage before moving items.
