How Slab Leak Cleanup Works in Ripton

Carpet pad and wall bases hold water against porous materials. The crew checks these layers and removes soaked pieces when needed.

1. Remove accessible water

   The first pass reduces contact between water and finishes. A deeper moisture check follows extraction.

2. Measure hidden dampness

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

3. Address soaked layers

   The crew assesses whether each layer can dry safely. Unusable soaked pieces are taken out.

4. Track drying results

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