How Slab Leak Under Hardwood Cleanup Works in Sunflower

1. Remove accessible water

   The technician begins at visible water and extends assessment into adjacent rooms. Extraction addresses accessible liquid.

2. Measure hidden dampness

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

3. Address soaked layers

   Wet pad and damaged porous materials may need removal. The crew documents what was affected before opening it.

4. Track drying results

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

• Turn off the water at a safe, accessible valve if the leak is active.
• Move rugs and light furnishings away from wet boards.
• Keep electrical cords and powered devices away from damp flooring.
• Photograph cupped boards and water marks before cleanup begins.
• Leave attached planks in place until the crew checks hidden moisture.
