Before a Frozen Line Begins Leaking

Avoid forcing a frozen valve or pipe. The plumbing trade handles the pipe, while a restoration crew handles any water damage.

Turn off fixtures and note the water meter reading. Movement with no known use can suggest a hidden leak, which a plumber should assess.

How Frozen Pipe Thaw Leak Cleanup Works in Tontogany

1. Remove the pooled water

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

2. Trace damp materials

   The team documents wet materials in adjoining rooms, not just the first room.

3. Expose trapped moisture

   Wet wallboard that cannot dry in place is taken out before equipment runs.

4. Verify the dry-out

   Repeat meter readings show whether affected wood and wallboard are losing moisture.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

A puddle can feed moisture into carpet backing and wood. Prompt extraction lowers the water left to soak deeper layers.

• Close the main water valve if water is still escaping.
• Call a plumber to address the split pipe and safe thawing.
• Move dry belongings away from the wet floor.
• Avoid walking through water near outlets or plugged-in equipment.
• Photograph visible water and damaged items before moving them.
