How Slab Leak Wet Carpet Cleanup Works in High Shoals

1. Remove accessible water

   The crew extracts pooled water before it continues soaking the floor assembly. Wet edges are checked beyond the obvious puddle.

2. Measure hidden dampness

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

3. Address soaked layers

   Wet pad and damaged porous materials may need removal. The crew documents what was affected before opening it.

4. Track drying results

   Air movement and dehumidification address retained damp materials. Repeated readings show whether moisture is falling.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Delays let liquid remain in contact with floor layers. Extraction begins by removing accessible water, then equipment addresses retained moisture.

• Shut off the water if a safe supply valve is accessible.
• Keep children and pets out of the wet carpeted area.
• Lift lightweight belongings from the wet floor.
• Photograph the wet patch and affected furniture.
• Avoid running a household vacuum on wet carpet.
