The Slab Leak Water Damage Cleanup Process

1. Control the hazard

   Avoid wet electrical outlets near the floor. The plumber handles the source.

2. Extract pooled water

   Technicians remove standing water from floor coverings, adhesive, subfloor edges, and baseboards.

3. Trace moisture

   Meters show damp material beyond the visible edge, including hidden cavities.

4. Dry and document

   The crew removes saturated material, runs drying equipment and logs moisture against a dry target.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

• Have a plumber isolate the leaking pipe.
• Avoid wet electrical outlets near the floor.
• Move valuables away if safe.
• Photograph the source and damaged belongings.
• Avoid wet electrical fixtures and contaminated water.

  Supply water may begin as Category 1 and become dirtier beneath flooring. Contaminated porous material often must come out.

• Records show the scope

  Photos and readings document the loss for an insurance claim.
