How Frozen Pipe Water Damage Works in Palmetto

A garage leak can wet shared wall materials on the house side. The Palmetto assessment looks for migration through trim and wall edges.

1. Remove accessible standing water

   Wet carpet and hard-floor edges get attention first so liquid does not sit against trim.

2. Trace moisture through materials

   Wall corners and baseboards are checked because water can wick upward.

3. Expose saturated hidden layers

   A swollen baseboard can conceal a damp wall edge that needs access.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Equipment remains focused on materials that still show elevated moisture.
