How Slab Leak Cleanup Works in Fontanelle
A wet room needs more than open windows. The drying technician considers humidity, air movement and the materials behind finishes.

Measure hidden dampness
A technician compares materials and nearby dry areas. This helps define the actual scope of the loss.
-
Address soaked layers
Adhesive, underlayment and floor covering can respond differently to water. The plan follows the assembly.
