Drying after slab leak under hardwood cleanup depends on materials and water volume. A Granger technician records readings to show whether moisture is falling.

Water beneath concrete may surface far from the opening. The plumbing trade addresses the break while restoration workers follow the wet footprint.

3. Address soaked layers

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