How Slab Leak Cleanup Works in Fortuna

Carpet pad and wall bases hold water against porous materials. The crew checks these layers and removes soaked pieces when needed.

2. Measure hidden dampness

   A technician compares materials and nearby dry areas. This helps define the actual scope of the loss.

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

   Equipment placement changes if a damp area resists progress. The technician checks readings instead of appearance alone.
