How Slab Leak Cleanup Works in Albany

Water under tile may not appear until it reaches a wall edge. The crew checks adjoining spaces before deciding the drying footprint.

1. Remove accessible water

   The crew extracts pooled water before it continues soaking the floor assembly. Wet edges are checked beyond the obvious puddle.

2. Measure hidden dampness

   The crew checks concrete, floor edges and wall bottoms. Recorded values provide a starting point for drying.

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.
