How Slab Leak Cleanup Works in Port Sulphur

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

1. Remove accessible water

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

2. Measure hidden dampness

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

3. Address soaked layers

   If water is trapped beneath a finish, selective access may help drying. The technician explains the reason for the work.

4. Track drying results

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

• Store daily readings together.
