How Slab Leak Under Hardwood Cleanup Works in Madison

1. Remove accessible water

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

   Air movement and dehumidification address retained damp materials. Repeated readings show whether moisture is falling.

• Move rugs and light furnishings away from wet boards.
