How Slab Leak Cleanup Works in Whatley

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

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

   Only materials that can be dried are left in place. The crew records any removal for the property owner.
