How Slab Leak Cleanup Works in Smithfield

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

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

3. Address soaked layers

   Adhesive, underlayment and floor covering can respond differently to water. The plan follows the assembly.

4. Track drying results

   A surface may look better before hidden layers dry. The crew confirms moisture levels before ending work.
