How Slab Leak Cleanup Works in Marathon

Water can hide beneath a finish after the puddle disappears. A technician measures concealed dampness so drying targets more than the surface.

1. Remove accessible water

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

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

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