How Slab Leak Cleanup Works in Fort Oglethorpe
Warmth from a hot pipe does not make a slab leak harmless. Water can still reach wood, drywall and adhesive beneath flooring.
-
Remove accessible water
After the pipe is stopped, the crew clears reachable water. Material condition determines what can remain.
-
Measure hidden dampness
The crew checks concrete, floor edges and wall bottoms. Recorded values provide a starting point for drying.
-
Address soaked layers
Adhesive, underlayment and floor covering can respond differently to water. The plan follows the assembly.
-
Track drying results
Air movement and dehumidification address retained damp materials. Repeated readings show whether moisture is falling.
