How Frozen Pipe Water Damage Works in Altoona

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials. Rapid water removal and controlled drying lower the time those materials stay damp.

1. Remove accessible standing water

2. Trace moisture through materials

   A ceiling reading helps distinguish a small stain from broader saturation above.

3. Expose saturated hidden layers

   Wet ceiling material may require removal when it is sagging or holding water.

4. Dry and verify the structure
