How Kitchen Slab Leak Cleanup Works in Edgewood

1. Remove accessible water

   The crew checks concrete, floor edges and wall bottoms. Recorded values provide a starting point for drying.

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

   The crew monitors the wet area during drying. Final measurements support the handoff to finishing trades.

• Shut off water at a safe valve if the leak is active.
• Do not touch powered appliances sitting in water.
