How Frozen Pipe Water Damage Works in Gallatin Gateway

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

1. Remove accessible standing water

   A vacant property can hold water in several places, so crews work through the full wet footprint.

2. Trace moisture through materials

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

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.
