How Slab Leak Cleanup Works in Sheldon

Warmth from a hot pipe does not make a slab leak harmless. Water can still reach wood, drywall and adhesive beneath flooring.

1. Remove accessible water

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

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

   Only materials that can be dried are left in place. The crew records any removal for the property owner.

4. Track drying results

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