How Kitchen Slab Leak Cleanup Works in Collins

1. Remove accessible water

   Standing liquid is lifted from exposed areas. The technician also looks for water at wall and cabinet bases.

2. Measure hidden dampness

   The crew checks concrete, floor edges and wall bottoms. Recorded values provide a starting point for drying.

3. Address soaked layers

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

4. Track drying results

   Equipment placement changes if a damp area resists progress. The technician checks readings instead of appearance alone.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

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

• Shut off water at a safe valve if the leak is active.
• Do not touch powered appliances sitting in water.
• Move food and portable items from damp lower cabinets.
• Photograph swelling, wet flooring and cabinet stains.
• Avoid pulling fixed cabinets apart before the area is assessed.
