How Frozen Pipe Water Damage Works in Serena

Closed wall cavities lose moisture slowly without access and airflow. Readings help the crew decide whether an opening is needed.

1. Remove accessible standing water

   For a crawl space loss, technicians check low areas where water collected beneath the home.

2. Trace moisture through materials

   A ceiling reading helps distinguish a small stain from broader saturation above.

3. Expose saturated hidden layers

   The crew assesses whether floor covering can dry in place or must be lifted.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Air movers and dehumidifiers work together while the crew tracks material readings.
