How Slab Leak Wet Carpet Cleanup Works in Murdock

1. Remove accessible water

   Standing liquid is lifted from exposed areas. The technician also looks for water at wall and cabinet bases.

2. Measure hidden dampness

   The crew checks concrete, floor edges and wall bottoms. Recorded values provide a starting point for drying.

3. Address soaked layers

   The crew assesses whether each layer can dry safely. Unusable soaked pieces are taken out.

4. Track drying results

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

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

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

• Shut off the water if a safe supply valve is accessible.
• Keep children and pets out of the wet carpeted area.
• Lift lightweight belongings from the wet floor.
• Photograph the wet patch and affected furniture.
• Avoid running a household vacuum on wet carpet.
