How Slab Leak Wet Carpet Cleanup Works in Alum Bridge
-
Remove accessible water
The first pass reduces contact between water and finishes. A deeper moisture check follows extraction.

Address soaked layers
A swollen board or saturated wall base may not be retained. Material condition directs removal decisions.
-
Track drying results
A surface may look better before hidden layers dry. The crew confirms moisture levels before ending work.
Act before moisture spreads (888) 670-6527

- Shut off the water if a safe supply valve is accessible.
- Keep children and pets out of the wet carpeted area.
