How Slab Leak Cleanup Works in Galva

Concrete can release moisture slowly through a covered floor. Controlled drying and repeated readings show whether conditions are improving.

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

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

4. Track drying results

   Air movement and dehumidification address retained damp materials. Repeated readings show whether moisture is falling.
