How Slab Leak Wet Carpet Cleanup Works in Hillsboro

1. Remove accessible water

3. Address soaked layers

   Only materials that can be dried are left in place. The crew records any removal for the property owner.

• Shut off the water if a safe supply valve is accessible.
• Keep children and pets out of the wet carpeted area.
