How Slab Leak Cleanup Works in Otho

Concrete can release moisture slowly through a covered floor. Controlled drying and repeated readings show whether conditions are improving.

1. Remove accessible water

   The technician begins at visible water and extends assessment into adjacent rooms. Extraction addresses accessible liquid.

2. Measure hidden dampness

   A dry looking tile face cannot show the condition below. Readings help locate concealed wet layers.

3. Address soaked layers

   Adhesive, underlayment and floor covering can respond differently to water. The plan follows the assembly.

4. Track drying results

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