How Slab Leak Cleanup Works in Horton

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

1. Remove accessible water

   Floor water is removed with suitable extraction tools. Soaked porous layers are evaluated for possible removal.

2. Measure hidden dampness

   A dry looking tile face cannot show the condition below. Readings help locate concealed wet layers.

3. Address soaked layers

   Only materials that can be dried are left in place. The crew records any removal for the property owner.

4. Track drying results

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

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

• Track drying equipment days.
• Retain material removal notes.

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
