At Frozen Pipe Leak Removal Pros, the priority is water left by a frozen supply pipe concealed inside a wall. Water can run down the cavity before a stain appears on the finished surface. 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.
