What Vacant Home Frozen Pipe Cleanup Includes in Trivoli

Surface drying can miss water beneath trim or underlayment. The Trivoli assessment for vacant home frozen pipe cleanup determines what must be opened or removed.

A vacant house may lose heat during a cold spell, and frozen plumbing can split in more than one place. When the weather warms, water can continue flowing without anyone there to close the valve. The result may involve floors, walls, cabinets and belongings across several rooms.

Water can run below a floor after the valve is closed. A Trivoli technician checks underlayment and subflooring while the plumber deals with the break.
