How Slab Leak Cleanup Works in Merrillville

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

1. Remove accessible water

   The crew extracts pooled water before it continues soaking the floor assembly. Wet edges are checked beyond the obvious puddle.

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

   If water is trapped beneath a finish, selective access may help drying. The technician explains the reason for the work.

4. Track drying results

   Equipment placement changes if a damp area resists progress. The technician checks readings instead of appearance alone.
