Before a Frozen Line Begins Leaking

Avoid forcing a frozen valve or pipe. The plumbing trade handles the pipe, while a restoration crew handles any water damage.

A steady meter while fixtures are off may help narrow the issue, but it does not prove a wall cavity is dry.

How Vacant Home Frozen Pipe Water Cleanup Works in Gilroy

1. Remove the pooled water

   The crew checks safe access and extracts visible pooling across affected rooms.

2. Trace damp materials

   Wall cavities beside a split pipe are checked for absorbed water.

3. Expose trapped moisture

   Floor layers are assessed for trapped water that surface airflow cannot reach.

4. Verify the dry-out

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

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Dry-looking trim does not prove the cavity behind it is dry. Repeat readings show whether the drying plan is working.

• Close the main water valve before walking through the property.
• Avoid rooms with wet electrical equipment or sagging ceilings.
• Ask a plumber to stop and address each damaged pipe.
• Photograph every affected room before contents are moved.
• Keep a record of when the water was discovered.
