How Slab Leak Cleanup Works in Merrill

A cabinet toe kick may absorb water while the room looks nearly dry. The restoration worker checks low materials before ending the dry-out.

1. Remove accessible water

   The first pass reduces contact between water and finishes. A deeper moisture check follows extraction.

2. Measure hidden dampness

   A dry looking tile face cannot show the condition below. Readings help locate concealed wet layers.

3. Address soaked layers

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

4. Track drying results

   The crew monitors the wet area during drying. Final measurements support the handoff to finishing trades.
