How Slab Leak Cleanup Works in Kodiak

Delays let liquid remain in contact with floor layers. Extraction begins by removing accessible water, then equipment addresses retained moisture.

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

   A dry looking tile face cannot show the condition below. Readings help locate concealed wet layers.

3. Address soaked layers

   If water is trapped beneath a finish, selective access may help drying. The technician explains the reason for the work.

4. Track drying results

   The crew monitors the wet area during drying. Final measurements support the handoff to finishing trades.

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

Do not assume the pipe fix and floor drying have identical coverage. The trades perform different work and keep different records. Discuss with the insurer how to submit both sets of documents.

• List each affected room.
• Record the date and time water was discovered.
• Keep initial moisture readings.

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
