How Slab Leak Under Tile Cleanup Works in Colbert

1. Remove accessible water

2. Measure hidden dampness

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

3. Address soaked layers

   A swollen board or saturated wall base may not be retained. Material condition directs removal decisions.

• Avoid walking on loose tile or wet electrical areas.
• Move movable rugs and small items off the damp floor.
• Photograph wet grout, lifted edges and wall stains.
• Do not break tile to hunt for the buried pipe.
