How Slab Leak Cleanup Works in Chester

Remove accessible water
After the pipe is stopped, the crew clears reachable water. Material condition determines what can remain.

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

Address soaked layers
Wet pad and damaged porous materials may need removal. The crew documents what was affected before opening it.

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