How Slab Leak Wet Carpet Cleanup Works in Terlingua

1. Remove accessible water

   The first pass reduces contact between water and finishes. A deeper moisture check follows extraction.

2. Measure hidden dampness

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

3. Address soaked layers

   The crew assesses whether each layer can dry safely. Unusable soaked pieces are taken out.

4. Track drying results

   A surface may look better before hidden layers dry. The crew confirms moisture levels before ending work.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

A wet room needs more than open windows. The drying technician considers humidity, air movement and the materials behind finishes.

• Shut off the water if a safe supply valve is accessible.
• Keep children and pets out of the wet carpeted area.
• Lift lightweight belongings from the wet floor.
• Photograph the wet patch and affected furniture.
• Avoid running a household vacuum on wet carpet.
