How Slab Leak Cleanup Works in Rockwell

Water can hide beneath a finish after the puddle disappears. A technician measures concealed dampness so drying targets more than the surface.

1. Remove accessible water

   Standing liquid is lifted from exposed areas. The technician also looks for water at wall and cabinet bases.

2. Measure hidden dampness

   The wet footprint can extend beyond the first stain. Meter readings shape targeted equipment placement.

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

   Air movement and dehumidification address retained damp materials. Repeated readings show whether moisture is falling.
