How Kitchen Slab Leak Cleanup Works in Bittinger

1. Remove accessible water

   After the pipe is stopped, the crew clears reachable water. Material condition determines what can remain.

2. Measure hidden dampness

   A dry looking tile face cannot show the condition below. Readings help locate concealed wet layers.

3. Address soaked layers

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

4. Track drying results

   Controlled drying continues until affected materials meet the project goal. The final record documents progress.

• Shut off water at a safe valve if the leak is active.
• Do not touch powered appliances sitting in water.
• Move food and portable items from damp lower cabinets.
• Photograph swelling, wet flooring and cabinet stains.
• Avoid pulling fixed cabinets apart before the area is assessed.
