How Frozen Pipe Leak Water Removal Works in Malta

1. Remove the pooled water

   The technician uses floor extraction equipment on reachable wet surfaces after the source stops.

2. Trace damp materials

   Readings at the ceiling and framing show whether an attic leak moved outward.

3. Expose trapped moisture

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

4. Verify the dry-out

   The crew records the progression and adjusts equipment when a layer dries slowly.
