How Frozen Pipe Flood Water Removal Works in Ideal

1. Remove the standing water

   The crew isolates dirty water before clearing the affected area.

2. Map the moisture

   Meters show whether subfloors remain wet beyond the visible edge.

3. Open what holds water

   Insulation that cannot dry safely is taken out before equipment runs.

4. Dry and verify

   Drying continues after the visible puddle disappears from the floor.

• Avoid water near electrical equipment.
• Keep children and pets clear.
• Move small belongings to dry ground if safe.
• Photograph the damage before moving items.
