How Slab Leak Wet Carpet Cleanup Works in Pelican

1. Remove accessible water

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

2. Measure hidden dampness

   Moisture meters show where water moved beneath flooring. The technician marks affected areas for the drying plan.

3. Address soaked layers

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

4. Track drying results

   Air movement and dehumidification address retained damp materials. Repeated readings show whether moisture is falling.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

A cabinet toe kick may absorb water while the room looks nearly dry. The restoration worker checks low materials before ending the dry-out.

• 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.
