What Kitchen Slab Leak Cleanup Includes in Ashkum

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

- Shut off water at a safe valve if the leak is active.
- Do not touch powered appliances sitting in water.
- Move food and portable items from damp lower cabinets.
- Photograph swelling, wet flooring and cabinet stains.
- Avoid pulling fixed cabinets apart before the area is assessed.
Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
About 4% of the local housing units date from 2000 or later. Newer finishes still require assessment when water reaches them. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Ashkum was built in the 1950s. Past remodeling may hide a damp slab beneath newer finishes. A Ashkum technician checks the layers rather than the visible face.
Freezing weather does not change the need for source control. Drying begins after accessible water is removed.
