How Slab Leak Under Hardwood Cleanup Works in Pompey

1. Remove accessible water

   Standing liquid is lifted from exposed areas. The technician also looks for water at wall and cabinet bases.

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

   The crew assesses whether each layer can dry safely. Unusable soaked pieces are taken out.

4. Track drying results

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

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Water under tile may not appear until it reaches a wall edge. The crew checks adjoining spaces before deciding the drying footprint.

• Turn off the water at a safe, accessible valve if the leak is active.
• Move rugs and light furnishings away from wet boards.
• Keep electrical cords and powered devices away from damp flooring.
• Photograph cupped boards and water marks before cleanup begins.
• Leave attached planks in place until the crew checks hidden moisture.
