How Slab Leak Cleanup Works in Sewanee

Carpet pad and wall bases hold water against porous materials. The crew checks these layers and removes soaked pieces when needed.

2. Measure hidden dampness

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

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.
