How Slab Leak Cleanup Works in Petal

1. Remove accessible water

2. Measure hidden dampness

   A dry looking tile face cannot show the condition below. Readings help locate concealed wet layers.

3. Address soaked layers

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

4. Track drying results

   The crew monitors the wet area during drying. Final measurements support the handoff to finishing trades.
