How Slab Leak Cleanup Works in Merritt

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

1. Remove accessible water

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

2. Measure hidden dampness

   Cabinet bases and adjoining closets may have absorbed water. Mapping checks those low areas.

3. Address soaked layers

   A swollen board or saturated wall base may not be retained. Material condition directs removal decisions.

4. Track drying results

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

• Describe the first sign accurately.
• Retain material removal notes.
• Keep copies of claim communications.

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
