How Frozen Pipe Leak Water Removal Works in Ruby

2. Trace damp materials

   Meters reveal moisture beyond the stain and help define the drying area.

3. Expose trapped moisture

   Wet wallboard that cannot dry in place is taken out before equipment runs.

4. Verify the dry-out

   A technician checks previously hidden areas before ending the equipment run.
