How Slab Leak Cleanup Works in Newton Highlands

Carpet pad and wall bases hold water against porous materials. The crew checks these layers and removes soaked pieces when needed.

1. Remove accessible water

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

2. Measure hidden dampness

   Cabinet bases and adjoining closets may have absorbed water. Mapping checks those low areas.

3. Address soaked layers

   If water is trapped beneath a finish, selective access may help drying. The technician explains the reason for the work.

4. Track drying results

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