1. Extract accessible water

   Water beneath cabinets may emerge at the toe kick. The crew extracts the accessible area and checks farther behind the finish.

2. Map the wet footprint

   Moisture meters help trace slab leak water beyond the visible stain. The technician records affected rooms and nearby dry comparison areas.

3. Open water holding materials

   The team keeps a record of opened areas and damaged material. Finished repair work is quoted after drying.

4. Dry and verify

   A dry looking surface is not the endpoint. The technician checks the hidden layers that were wet at the start.

Older copper can develop pinholes, and a plumber determines the pipe condition.

Mild periods between freezes can hide lingering moisture. Readings show whether the floor assembly is dry. Owner occupied housing still includes varied floor finishes. The technician checks the actual slab and finish materials.
