How Slab Leak Under Hardwood Cleanup Works in Lemoyne

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

4. Track drying results

   Controlled drying continues until affected materials meet the project goal. The final record documents progress.
