How Slab Leak Under Tile Cleanup Works in Arkville

1. Remove accessible water

   The crew extracts pooled water before it continues soaking the floor assembly. Wet edges are checked beyond the obvious puddle.

2. Measure hidden dampness

   Cabinet bases and adjoining closets may have absorbed water. Mapping checks those low areas.

3. Address soaked layers

   If water is trapped beneath a finish, selective access may help drying. The technician explains the reason for the work.

4. Track drying results

   A surface may look better before hidden layers dry. The crew confirms moisture levels before ending work.

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.
