How Slab Leak Wet Carpet Cleanup Works in Pulaski

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

   Wet pad and damaged porous materials may need removal. The crew documents what was affected before opening it.

4. Track drying results

   Equipment placement changes if a damp area resists progress. The technician checks readings instead of appearance alone.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

• Shut off the water if a safe supply valve is accessible.
• Keep children and pets out of the wet carpeted area.
• Lift lightweight belongings from the wet floor.
• Photograph the wet patch and affected furniture.
• Avoid running a household vacuum on wet carpet.
