How Slab Leak Cleanup Works in Charleston
Delays let liquid remain in contact with floor layers. Extraction begins by removing accessible water, then equipment addresses retained moisture.

After the pipe is stopped, the crew clears reachable water. Material condition determines what can remain.
-
Measure hidden dampness
Cabinet bases and adjoining closets may have absorbed water. Mapping checks those low areas.
-
Address soaked layers
The crew assesses whether each layer can dry safely. Unusable soaked pieces are taken out.

Track drying results
