How Slab Leak Cleanup Works in Balmorhea
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
The first pass reduces contact between water and finishes. A deeper moisture check follows extraction.
-
Measure hidden dampness
Cabinet bases and adjoining closets may have absorbed water. Mapping checks those low areas.
-
Address soaked layers
A swollen board or saturated wall base may not be retained. Material condition directs removal decisions.
-
Track drying results
A surface may look better before hidden layers dry. The crew confirms moisture levels before ending work.
