How Slab Leak Water Damage Water Cleanup Works in Houston

1. Remove standing water

2. Find absorbed moisture

   Pin and pinless meters show whether the Houston floor still holds water below its finish.

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Swollen drywall that has lost strength may need a controlled cut to expose framing.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers encourage evaporation while dehumidifiers capture moisture from the air.

• Avoid wet electrical outlets near the floor.

• Photograph the source and damaged belongings.
• Avoid wet electrical fixtures and contaminated water.
