How Slab Leak Cleanup Works in West Fairlee

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

2. Measure hidden dampness

   The crew checks concrete, floor edges and wall bottoms. Recorded values provide a starting point for drying.

3. Address soaked layers

   A swollen board or saturated wall base may not be retained. Material condition directs removal decisions.

4. Track drying results

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