What Kitchen Slab Leak Cleanup Includes in Serafina
After a plumber fixes the source, kitchen slab leak cleanup can still leave water beneath finishes. A Serafina crew extracts accessible liquid and maps hidden dampness.
A kitchen has many edges where hidden water can collect: cabinet toe kicks, appliance bays, islands and floor transitions. Moisture from a buried pipe may appear near a dishwasher or sink even when those fixtures are sound. Call Slab Leak Cleanup Team when cabinetry swells or floor seams darken.
A supply pipe can be repaired while moisture remains under wood or tile. The cleanup team measures hidden layers before choosing drying methods.
