How Frozen Pipe Water Damage Works in Marathon

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

   The crew extracts pooled water from the Marathon room before it reaches more flooring.

2. Trace moisture through materials

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

3. Expose saturated hidden layers

   Material removal is documented before the drying equipment is positioned.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Equipment remains focused on materials that still show elevated moisture.
