What Kitchen Slab Leak Cleanup Includes in Gilroy
Some soaked materials need removal after kitchen slab leak cleanup. The crew in Gilroy documents the condition and dries what can be retained.

- Shut off water at a safe valve if the leak is active.
- Do not touch powered appliances sitting in water.
- Move food and portable items from damp lower cabinets.
- Photograph swelling, wet flooring and cabinet stains.
- Avoid pulling fixed cabinets apart before the area is assessed.
