How Kitchen Slab Leak Cleanup Works in Etoile

1. Remove accessible water

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

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

   A surface may look better before hidden layers dry. The crew confirms moisture levels before ending work.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Concrete can release moisture slowly through a covered floor. Controlled drying and repeated readings show whether conditions are improving.

• Shut off water at a safe valve if the leak is active.
• Do not touch powered appliances sitting in water.
• Move food and portable items from damp lower cabinets.
• Photograph swelling, wet flooring and cabinet stains.
• Avoid pulling fixed cabinets apart before the area is assessed.
