How Frozen Pipe Flood Cleanup Works in Argyle

1. Remove standing water

   The technician begins with the rooms holding the most water. Electrical hazards are addressed before wet-room access.

2. Map moisture

   A damp ceiling may reveal water from a room above. Lower ceilings may carry water from upstairs.

3. Remove soaked material

   Material removal follows the water path and contamination level. The crew checks whether neighboring material is wet.

4. Dry and verify

   A technician records progress before equipment is removed. Rebuild planning follows the final dry-out check.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

• Shut the main valve before thawing a suspect section if safe.
• Stay out of water near electrical equipment.
• Move dry belongings away from the wet area if safe.
