How Slab Leak Cleanup Works in Vandiver

-
Remove accessible water
The first pass reduces contact between water and finishes. A deeper moisture check follows extraction.
-
Measure hidden dampness
Cabinet bases and adjoining closets may have absorbed water. Mapping checks those low areas.
-
Address soaked layers
Adhesive, underlayment and floor covering can respond differently to water. The plan follows the assembly.
-
Track drying results
Equipment placement changes if a damp area resists progress. The technician checks readings instead of appearance alone.
