Older homes may contain galvanized supply pipes that corrode internally. A leak can travel beneath long-established finishes. Older wall finishes can conceal the first signs.
A hard freeze raises the chance of pipe damage, but the actual wet area still needs measurement. A crew documents the actual building materials affected.
