How Slab Leak Under Hardwood Cleanup Works in Olivehill

1. Remove accessible water

   Floor water is removed with suitable extraction tools. Soaked porous layers are evaluated for possible removal.

2. Measure hidden dampness

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

3. Address soaked layers

   A swollen board or saturated wall base may not be retained. Material condition directs removal decisions.

4. Track drying results

   Air movement and dehumidification address retained damp materials. Repeated readings show whether moisture is falling.

• Turn off the water at a safe, accessible valve if the leak is active.
• Move rugs and light furnishings away from wet boards.
• Keep electrical cords and powered devices away from damp flooring.
• Photograph cupped boards and water marks before cleanup begins.
