How Slab Leak Cleanup Works in Whiting

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

   Wet pad and damaged porous materials may need removal. The crew documents what was affected before opening it.

4. Track drying results

   A surface may look better before hidden layers dry. The crew confirms moisture levels before ending work.
