How Frozen Pipe Leak Water Removal Works in San Marcos

Wet insulation blocks easy airflow through a wall or ceiling. The technician decides what must be removed to dry the surrounding structure.

4. Verify the dry-out

   A technician checks previously hidden areas before ending the equipment run.
