How Slab Leak Cleanup Works in Selma

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

1. Remove accessible water

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

2. Measure hidden dampness

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

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

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