How Under-Slab Leak Water Extraction Works in Catheys Valley

1. Recover accessible water

   A pump crew removes pooled water where conditions permit safe equipment use. Technicians investigate surrounding rooms beyond the location of the deepest puddle.

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

   Drying personnel measure wood around a soaked cabinet base. Those results help establish whether adjoining partitions need treatment.

3. Expose layers that retain water

   A crew supervisor considers finish removal where trapped water cannot dry adequately. The scope explains the reason for opening each affected assembly.

4. Control drying and check progress

   The contractor records progress at comparable test locations throughout treatment. The final assessment identifies any area that still needs attention.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

New paint can hide discoloration without removing retained moisture. Building recovery crews establish drying progress through measurements before finish repairs begin.

• The homeowner stops use of suspect fixtures pending plumbing advice.
• Residents avoid operating electrical devices near wet flooring.
• The owner records damp areas without lifting adhered materials.
• Occupants move light belongings only along dry, stable routes.
• Building management provides authorized entry to adjoining rooms above the affected slab.
