How Frozen Pipe Water Damage Works in Latta

A garage leak can wet shared wall materials on the house side. The Latta assessment looks for migration through trim and wall edges.

1. Remove accessible standing water

   A vacant property can hold water in several places, so crews work through the full wet footprint.

2. Trace moisture through materials

   The technician measures dampness beyond the puddle to find affected building layers.

3. Expose saturated hidden layers

   When wall material traps water, a controlled opening can make drying possible.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   A drying plan changes when readings reveal a pocket of trapped water.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
