How Slab Leak Cleanup Works in Citronelle
A wet room needs more than open windows. The drying technician considers humidity, air movement and the materials behind finishes.
-
Remove accessible water
After the pipe is stopped, the crew clears reachable water. Material condition determines what can remain.
-
Measure hidden dampness
A dry looking tile face cannot show the condition below. Readings help locate concealed wet layers.
-
Address soaked layers
Adhesive, underlayment and floor covering can respond differently to water. The plan follows the assembly.
-
Track drying results
Daily moisture records help verify the dry-out. Replacement finishes wait until conditions are suitable.
