At Frozen Pipe Leak Removal Pros, the priority is water left by frozen pipes in a home that stood empty. Water may run for an extended period before anyone notices, crossing rooms and floors. A plumber handles the pipe; the water damage crew addresses the wet structure and contents.
Closing the main valve limits ongoing flow when it is safe to reach. The cleanup crew then handles standing water and damp construction materials.
