How Slab Leak Cleanup Works in Brightwood

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

3. Address soaked layers

   The crew monitors the wet area during drying. Final measurements support the handoff to finishing trades.
