How Slab Leak Wet Carpet Cleanup Works in Dewar

1. Remove accessible water

2. Measure hidden dampness

   Moisture meters show where water moved beneath flooring. The technician marks affected areas for the drying plan.

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

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

• Shut off the water if a safe supply valve is accessible.
• Keep children and pets out of the wet carpeted area.

• Photograph the wet patch and affected furniture.
