How Slab Leak Wet Carpet Cleanup Works in Griswold

2. Measure hidden dampness

   A technician compares materials and nearby dry areas. This helps define the actual scope of the loss.

3. Address soaked layers

   If water is trapped beneath a finish, selective access may help drying. The technician explains the reason for the work.

• Shut off the water if a safe supply valve is accessible.
