How Vacant Home Frozen Pipe Water Cleanup Works in Westfield

1. Remove the pooled water

   A wet carpet may need repeated passes to pull water from the backing and pad.

2. Trace damp materials

   A technician tests the subfloor where the puddle crossed flooring seams.

3. Expose trapped moisture

   A damaged carpet pad can be lifted so the underlying floor can dry.

4. Verify the dry-out

   Drying is completed against measured goals for the materials and local conditions.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

• Avoid rooms with wet electrical equipment or sagging ceilings.
