How Slab Leak Cleanup Works in Thorpe

Carpet pad and wall bases hold water against porous materials. The crew checks these layers and removes soaked pieces when needed.

1. Remove accessible water

   The first pass reduces contact between water and finishes. A deeper moisture check follows extraction.

2. Measure hidden dampness

   A dry looking tile face cannot show the condition below. Readings help locate concealed wet layers.

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

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