How Slab Leak Under Tile Cleanup Works in Wilkinson

1. Remove accessible water

   Floor water is removed with suitable extraction tools. Soaked porous layers are evaluated for possible removal.

2. Measure hidden dampness

   A technician compares materials and nearby dry areas. This helps define the actual scope of the loss.

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.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

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

• Close the water supply if it can be done safely.
• Avoid walking on loose tile or wet electrical areas.
• Move movable rugs and small items off the damp floor.
• Photograph wet grout, lifted edges and wall stains.
• Do not break tile to hunt for the buried pipe.
