How Slab Leak Cleanup Works in East Orange

Delays let liquid remain in contact with floor layers. Extraction begins by removing accessible water, then equipment addresses retained moisture.

1. Remove accessible water

   The crew extracts pooled water before it continues soaking the floor assembly. Wet edges are checked beyond the obvious puddle.

2. Measure hidden dampness

   A technician compares materials and nearby dry areas. This helps define the actual scope of the loss.

3. Address soaked layers

   The crew assesses whether each layer can dry safely. Unusable soaked pieces are taken out.

4. Track drying results

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