How Slab Leak Cleanup Works in Portland

Water can hide beneath a finish after the puddle disappears. A technician measures concealed dampness so drying targets more than the surface.

2. Measure hidden dampness

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

3. Address soaked layers

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

4. Track drying results

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