How Slab Leak Cleanup Works in East Durham

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

   Moisture meters show where water moved beneath flooring. The technician marks affected areas for the drying plan.

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

   Daily moisture records help verify the dry-out. Replacement finishes wait until conditions are suitable.
