How Slab Leak Cleanup Works in Alma

A cabinet toe kick may absorb water while the room looks nearly dry. The restoration worker checks low materials before ending the dry-out.

1. Remove accessible water

   After the pipe is stopped, the crew clears reachable water. Material condition determines what can remain.

2. Measure hidden dampness

   Moisture meters show where water moved beneath flooring. The technician marks affected areas for the drying plan.

3. Address soaked layers

   Adhesive, underlayment and floor covering can respond differently to water. The plan follows the assembly.

4. Track drying results

   The crew monitors the wet area during drying. Final measurements support the handoff to finishing trades.
