How Slab Leak Cleanup Works in Alton

A wet room needs more than open windows. The drying technician considers humidity, air movement and the materials behind finishes.

1. Remove accessible water

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

2. Measure hidden dampness

   Moisture meters show where water moved beneath flooring. The technician marks affected areas for the drying plan.

3. Address soaked layers

   A swollen board or saturated wall base may not be retained. Material condition directs removal decisions.

4. Track drying results

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