How Slab Leak Cleanup Works in South Branch

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials. Prompt extraction reduces the time a floor assembly stays saturated.

1. Remove accessible water

   After the pipe is stopped, the crew clears reachable water. Material condition determines what can remain.

2. Measure hidden dampness

   The wet footprint can extend beyond the first stain. Meter readings shape targeted equipment placement.

3. Address soaked layers

   Adhesive, underlayment and floor covering can respond differently to water. The plan follows the assembly.

4. Track drying results

   Controlled drying continues until affected materials meet the project goal. The final record documents progress.
