How Slab Leak Cleanup Works in Caret

Concrete can release moisture slowly through a covered floor. Controlled drying and repeated readings show whether conditions are improving.

1. Remove accessible water

   The crew extracts pooled water before it continues soaking the floor assembly. Wet edges are checked beyond the obvious puddle.

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

   If water is trapped beneath a finish, selective access may help drying. The technician explains the reason for the work.

4. Track drying results

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