How Slab Leak Cleanup Works in Philippi

Water under tile may not appear until it reaches a wall edge. The crew checks adjoining spaces before deciding the drying footprint.

1. Remove accessible water

   The technician begins at visible water and extends assessment into adjacent rooms. Extraction addresses accessible liquid.

2. Measure hidden dampness

   The wet footprint can extend beyond the first stain. Meter readings shape targeted equipment placement.

3. Address soaked layers

   Wet pad and damaged porous materials may need removal. The crew documents what was affected before opening it.

4. Track drying results

   Air movement and dehumidification address retained damp materials. Repeated readings show whether moisture is falling.
