How Slab Leak Cleanup Works in Graettinger

A wet room needs more than open windows. The drying technician considers humidity, air movement and the materials behind finishes.

1. Remove accessible water

   After the pipe is stopped, the crew clears reachable water. Material condition determines what can remain.

2. Measure hidden dampness

   Cabinet bases and adjoining closets may have absorbed water. Mapping checks those low areas.

3. Address soaked layers

   Only materials that can be dried are left in place. The crew records any removal for the property owner.

4. Track drying results

   Controlled drying continues until affected materials meet the project goal. The final record documents progress.
