How Slab Leak Cleanup Works in Kailua Kona

-
Measure hidden dampness
Cabinet bases and adjoining closets may have absorbed water. Mapping checks those low areas.
-
Address soaked layers
Adhesive, underlayment and floor covering can respond differently to water. The plan follows the assembly.
-
Track drying results
The crew monitors the wet area during drying. Final measurements support the handoff to finishing trades.
