How Frozen Pipe Flood Water Removal Works in Erwin

1. Remove the standing water

   Pumps clear deeper water before extraction tools address the remaining wet floor.

2. Map the moisture

   The crew traces saturation through carpet, pad and underlying layers.

3. Open what holds water

   Soaked padding can block drying of the floor beneath it.

4. Dry and verify

   Daily checks show whether wet framing is moving toward its drying goal.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Porous drywall absorbs floodwater along its lower edge. The crew checks the depth and contamination before deciding what can remain.

• Shut off the supply and never use an open flame on the pipe.
• Avoid water near electrical equipment.
• Keep children and pets clear.
• Move small belongings to dry ground if safe.
• Photograph the damage before moving items.
