How Slab Leak Cleanup Works in Blackduck

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials. Prompt extraction reduces the time a floor assembly stays saturated.

1. Remove accessible water

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

2. Measure hidden dampness

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

3. Address soaked layers

   A swollen board or saturated wall base may not be retained. Material condition directs removal decisions.

4. Track drying results

   Controlled drying continues until affected materials meet the project goal. The final record documents progress.
