How Slab Leak Cleanup Works in Capitan

Water under tile may not appear until it reaches a wall edge. The crew checks adjoining spaces before deciding the drying footprint.

1. Remove accessible water

   The crew extracts pooled water before it continues soaking the floor assembly. Wet edges are checked beyond the obvious puddle.

2. Measure hidden dampness

   Cabinet bases and adjoining closets may have absorbed water. Mapping checks those low areas.

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

   A surface may look better before hidden layers dry. The crew confirms moisture levels before ending work.

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.

• Photograph the first visible damp area.
• Ask the insurer about policy terms.
• Keep the plumber invoice.

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