How Slab Leak Cleanup Works in Manchester

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

   The wet footprint can extend beyond the first stain. Meter readings shape targeted equipment placement.

3. Address soaked layers

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